Climate-change-fight cost: $100,000,000,000,000
'To reduce temperature by a grand total of 3/10 of 1 degree' by the end of the century

Global warming has become a huge industry these days, with climate-change entrepreneurs like former Vice President Al Gore cashing in big, as Bloomberg estimated his worth several years ago at $200 million plus, after an asset total of $1.7 million while he was running for president.

Governments are spending big, billions at a time. And doesn’t everyone feel the increasing costs of energy and products?

But a new estimate about what it will cost the world’s citizens to reduce the world’s temperature by the end of the century by a “grand total of three tenths of one degree” is a stunner: $100 trillion.

That’s $100,000,000,000,000.00.

Enough to make 100 million people millionaires.

The calculation comes from Danish statistician Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, the head of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, by way of officials with Climate Depot.

There, Lomborg states, “We will spend at least one hundred trillion dollars in order to reduce the temperature by the end of the century by a grand total of three tenths of one degree – the equivalent of postponing warming by less than four years.”

He explained, “That is using the U.N.’s own climate prediction model.”

The total is bigger than the world’s gross domestic product.

He warned that, “If the U.S. delivers for the whole century on … President Obama’s very ambitious rhetoric, it would postpone global warming by about eight months at the end of the cenutry. But here is the biggest problem: These miniscule benefits do not come free – quite the contrary. The cost of the U.N. Paris climate pact is like to run 1 to 2 trillion dollars every year.”

That’s compared to the U.S. annual budget of under $4 trillion.

The loony but seriously greedy leftist money grabbers have no trouble convincing their sheep almost anything they can find to take advantage of........If the left honors any honesty, they are keeping it in hiding allowing no one to get a hint they may have an honest bone in their sick bodies. If one or two well-known leftists come up with a scheme to get rich without having to lift a finger, ONLY to lie, they teach their lesser members to cheer for it, they DO cheer for it , of course, and all the little smarmy leftists get on board and destroy nations' economies for the sheer pleasure of causing pain, heartache, and financial devastation...............while serving only a handful of already wealthy leftist clowns. Pathetic bunch of losers.

It is just so silly. It won't happen. There is no way to control the global climate and logic will teach that. Other, more important things, will come up and the "global warming" threat will fade to memory. Just give it time.

Is there big money involved with Climate Change? YES, I don't believe anyone can dispute such. I got involved with a couple groups who believe all the "hype" on Climate Change is false. I'm also involved with a couple groups claiming Climate Change is real.
Please don't put the cost of addressing Climate Change before me, such would certainly cost more now since we did nothing when the price was cheaper. Yes, the Sun has a huge effect on our weather. When I put a verified fact before the Climate deniers (I mean a fact I personally verified as a relevant fact) I receive "brain-dead" belittling comments, to me means such is a fact the deniers simply refuse to recognize a fact as relevant.
I have an old friend who visits the Arctic annually and has showed me pictures of so much less ice than there use to be. I trust him to tell me the truth. The deniers go back to the belittling comments.
One person told me he expects the trees to clean-up the air and refuses to even listen to a different view like the number of people are more now that yesteryear, the number of trees are less than they were yesteryear. More pollution and less cleaning the air.
How much are YOU (all of you) willing to pay to breath fresh & clean air? Without air, you die quite quickly. How much would you pay to prevent yourself from dying at a younger age?
Sorry if what I wrote upsets you. I'm one of those vets from yesteryear, Nam. The country didn't want to go to war so they called it a "Police Action", so someone prove to me where our govt. voted and approved the "Police Action" was a "War"? A LIE was created stating the "Gulf of Tonkin" where U.S. warships were fired upon, NEVER-HAPPENED. So the media supported the false word of the govt. and I was one of thousands believing in protecting our country seeing the best we had to offer "bleed-out" in that Godforsaken country. A book written by McNamara specifically admitted the LIE of our govt. about the "Gulf of Tonkin". People died protesting the "Police Action" many more died fighting the same "Police Action". Over 58 thousand died (and yes I've read names on the wall in D.C. of people I knew) and those who made money from our blood slept well at night. Treason? You had better believe it.
So I do NOT believe as credible anything our govt. says.
"Everything we say/do is a direct result of our own personal ethics." When a person supports a liar is a liar him/herself. That is what I believe! U.S. society needs "Ethics" not more interesting LIES.

I do sincerely appreciate your service in Nam. I know, or at least have an idea, how horrible it was, and the return to the states was just as horrible, thanks to the people who are promoting "climate change" and who dissed the vets who had had NOTHING TO DO with STARTING THE WAR. You do not have to teach me that our government is our worst enemy........I have said so myself many times over the past 50 years. I apologize I had not gotten back to you earlier, but just today I learned that my notifications had been TURNED OFF AT OPP. (I think management does not love me.) I served in the Army Nurse Corps during NAM, but was never sent overseas. While in service, I married a Marine who was already out and in the US Border Patrol....he later retired as an Immigration Criminal Investigator. We were married for 42 years when he passed away.....on Pearl Harbor Day, of all times. I currently live with a man who served in the Army. I am a retired R.N., quite conservative, and leaning toward anarchy (no ruler) thinking.

That said, let me address your climate change comments. I, and all scientists, believe in climate change. It has been going on since the beginning of time. It is NORMAL. It happens. No matter what we do or do not do, we will have climate change. Trust me -this is TRUE. What started all this arguing in reality was that some people wanted to receive government funding for alternate energy production: wind mills, etc......banish coal, banish this, banish that (so that THEIR businesses would make big bucks). Our politicians and media -all leftists- joined in the fun. They didn't care who they hurt or how much it cost the taxpayers (victims of government FORCE) - or how many people they scared half to death. As to the ice missing that you referenced.......I am not surprised, but I am surprised that some people truly believe humans are causing the less ice, affecting the climate. I do not believe humans cause global changes because decades ago I learned that climate change is NORMAL. That is how we lost the dinosaurs, the behemoths of pre-civilization times......they froze to death, or at least many of them did. During part of their time, the land was plush with greenery, but freezes happened with no human on the face of the earth. Don't forget that our rivers and many canyons were cut from humongous ice glaciers sliding south centuries ago across America. Also remember that one batch of ice is not the total indicators. No humans there to make the ice melt....nature did it, just like nature acts today.

From an article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/11/24/scott-shackleton-logbooks-prove-antarctic-sea-ice-not-shrinking/
"Antarctic sea ice had barely changed from where it was 100 years ago, scientists have discovered, after poring over the logbooks of great polar explorers such as Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton.

Experts were concerned that ice at the South Pole had declined significantly since the 1950s, which they feared was driven by man-made climate change.

But new analysis suggests that conditions are now virtually identical to when the Terra Nova and Endurance sailed to the continent in the early 1900s, indicating that declines are part of a natural cycle and not the result of global warming."

I do not have time at present to research enough to change your mind, but I DO suggest that if it concerns you a great deal, study more science than that put out by special interest groups, such as the political left and incompetent "scientists". Thanks for your input, and, again, thank you more than I can say how much I appreciate your service. IF JUST ONCE AMERICANS COULD WORK TOGETHER RATHER THAN FIGHT EACH OTHER, OUR NATION COULD BE GREAT ONCE AGAIN.......assuming we could ban politicians from our meetings. ;-)
