It shows that Germany spent $110,000,000,000 to postpone the fictitious AGW for 37 hours. But what do they care, it is not their money.
Quote by James Spann, American Meteorological Society-certified meteorologist: "Billions of dollars of grant money [over $50 billion] are flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story."
Quote by Tom McElmurry, meteorologist, former tornado forecaster in Severe Weather Service: “Governmental officials are currently casting trillions down huge rat hole to solve a problem which doesn’t exist....Packs of rats wait in that [rat] hole to reap trillions coming down it to fill advocates pockets....The money we are about to spend on drastically reducing carbon dioxide will line the pockets of the environmentalists....some politicians are standing in line to fill their pockets with kick back money for large grants to the environmental experts....In case you haven’t noticed, it is an expanding profit-making industry, growing in proportion to the horror warnings by government officials and former vice-presidents.”
And what have we gotten for those billions and billions of dollars? Nothing, but Al Gore and his cohorts have gotten rich.
Interesting article it compares the INVESTMENT of $359 Billion into renewable energy sources with the $523 Billion a year in SUBSIDIES to oil and other fossil fuel industries.
Lets end those 523 Billion a year in subsidies to fossil fuel companies.
Looking at this report, most of this money is private investment, so I don't think it's yours to decide, unless you're an owner or shareholder of one of those companies.
I guess if you're a socialist or communist denier you think the government should step in and stop private investment, is that what you're saying? As for me, I'm a capitalist, and don't believe you should be meddling in these private investments.
EDIT for jim z: I am against crony capitalism too. Unfortunately both the Republican the Democratic parties spend their time catering to cronies. How else do you think someone like Mitt Romney or Warren Buffett ends up paying smaller tax rates than you or I? Why did we spend a trillion dollars destroying Iraq, if not to enrich Dick Cheney and his cronies? Why have oil companies had such a sweet tax deal for decades?
You are absolutely correct about crony capitalism. It is not hard to see why there was an "Occupy" movement. Very few people in the U.S. are against capitalism, we love the stories of people like Jobs and Wozniak, or Hewlett and Packard, starting companies in the garages and becoming billionaires. What we don't like are people that game the system, and ensure that they win no matter what happens to anyone else. Unfortunately in the U.S. the rich are becoming extremely rich, and the middle class is shrinking. Have Americans lost their work ethic? I don't think so, but the cronies have been given perks and allowed to ride rough-shod over the people underneath them.
No!
We have wasted $$Billions on this Global Warming fantasy.
Billions that could have gone towards something worthwhile.....like providing QUALITY educations to aspiring, ETHICAL climate scientists to replace the inept, UNETHICAL alarmists that we are dealing with now.
Peggy gets to pretend he is a capitalist.

That isn't capitalism Peggy. That is Crony capitalism. It isn't free market. It is government intrusion into free markets. We have become a fascist state in many ways and too many people are happy that government too often sticks its nose where it doesn't belong. What we get is corruption and Solyndras. It is going to take generations to fix the mess that these people got us into if we can even manage it then.
It would be nice if some people. e.g Alarmists, would inform themselves on history and economics. I am convinced that most of them would eventually realize statism is a failure. It failed every time it was tried but that never seems to deter leftists who invariably think they are smarter than the others who tried and failed. They are like lemmings IMO.
They say that illegal immigration costs the U.S. Government about the same annually.
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.
2. $22 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & Social Services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 Billion dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal Aliens.
10. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances to their Countries of origin.
11. The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes committed by illegal immigrants in the United States.
What do we have to show for all of our senseless spending? Governments have always been corrupt and inept when it comes to financing and policy making. Those are the real global problems.
no now a days it is getting reduced..
I don't know.
"The Global Landscape of Climate Finance 2013 finds that global climate finance flows have plateaued at USD 359 billion, or around USD 1 billion per day – far below even the most conservative estimates of investment needs."
