Costs of fighting climate change?

[harmonica]

...hitler caused the greatest: destruction starvation death...

There are a lot of historians who might disagree w/ you on that:

hitler started the ball rolling
....Bloodlands:Europe between Htiler and Stalin gives hitler the top prize, if I remember correctly

Can we get this back on topic? If not, I don't know where the hell to put this thread

Recently, 359 billion dollars were spent in a single year to fight climate change! But the UN says that the climate is getting worse and 5 trillion a year is needed!

This means, of course, as the article astutely points out, that climate scientists will have every incentive to produce data to continue lining the pockets of the climate change industry. Well doy!

Does a single climate crusader ever stop to consider what a 5 trillion dollar expenditure means? Moreover, do the ever consider where these funds will come from? The same people who scream about world hunger!

Follow the $$ folks.....and it becomes clear that you sure as hell can count on climate change getting worse and worse no matter how much money is spent!

Five trillion a year is absurd. Not even the bride could go through that much money in a year.

That is what the UN is lobbying for my friend.....5 trillion. Per year btw. 76 trillion total to impact climate change.

Believe it or not, there are four or five people on this forum who strongly believe in spending that kind of money. Thankfully for the rest of us the sentiment is hyper-fringe. Moonie's level fringe so not much to worry about.

When these meatheads go in their box, wind and solar power will still be providing us with less than 10% of our electricity.

And if scientists were as greedy as you accuse them of being, how could you trust ANYTHING they have discovered?

Ha ha ha, those are unverified PROJECTIONS 50+ years into the future. You can't discover what hasn't happened yet, why are you getting stupider by the week, is it the warm koolaid you drink?

I see there is no change in shithole Africa

war/conflicts/etc have a more immediate affect on food production
Climate Change is one of the least of our worries

Spatial Patterns of Food

Wars do not have as wide an effect. Climate change is global after all.

So is CO2 based greening, that is "global" and YOU know it since Harmonica is using real time data.

You're going to have to explain to us how you can tell what will happen in the future without making a projection.
