Actual Spending on Global Warming.

[flacaltenn]

Here from the horse's mouth (or some other equine anatomy) is the latest estimate
on what's ACTUALLY BEING SPENT GLOBALLY every year on AGWarming...

World Is Spending $1 Billion Per Day To Tackle Global Warming | The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF)

The world invested almost a billion dollars a day in limiting global warming last year, but the total figure – $359 billion – was slightly down on last year, and barely half the $700 billion per year that the World Economic Forum has said is needed to tackle climate change.


But the total funding pot fell $5 billion from 2012, and remains just a tiny fraction of the $5 trillion that the International Energy Agency estimates is required by 2020 for clean energy projects alone, if rising temperatures are to be pegged at 2 degrees Celsius.

“Investment to combat and adapt to climate change is happening around the world, but it’s short of where it needs to be and efforts to grow it have not been successful enough,” said Thomas Heller, the executive director of Climate Policy Initiative, the group which compiled the report.

FYI ---- in future battles over what we're NOT DOING --- we'll have a bookmark on what is already being wasted (i mean committed)..

And what are we getting for that billion dollars a day?

And what are we getting for that billion dollars a day?

Best I can tell-- we're getting scolded and accused of dragging our feet.
Guess we should drag a litttle harder.

What a waste of money...all so liberals can feel good about "saving the planet".

It's all about emotion with them.

 

[flacaltenn]

So nobody here want to spend the $2Bill per day that the World Economic Forum thinks we should be doing?


:crickets:

 

[mamooth]

Of course we want to spend it. We're not 'tards, you know. We appreciate good investments.

It is a banker concocted issue... all designed to get the governments of the world to pass carbon taxes to fund a global bank.

Try to see it fo rthe scam it really is.

 

[flacaltenn]

Of course we want to spend it. We're not 'tards, you know. We appreciate good investments.

Then wtf you whining about? Obviously I've failed to stop you from taking this spending from me.. So you won right?

What more do you want? Another $BILL a day? 2 more $BILL a day?
A soc sec check? More money to GE, and Archer Daniels? What is it that you don't already have?

 

[skookerasbil]

"costs" never matter to the climate crusading k00ks.


Reminds one of the classic saying....... "a conservative needs to see it to believe it......a liberal needs to believe it to see it."

 

[daveman]

Of course we want to spend it. We're not 'tards, you know. We appreciate good investments.

Then answer the question:

And what are we getting for that billion dollars a day?

 

[mamooth]

Aside from the global warming issue, we're getting more independence from fossil fuels. Since fossil fuels and even nuclear fuels are finite, that's a necessary thing to do, unless you'd prefer to someday live without electricity. And no, invoking magic (fusion power) is not an option.

But then, maybe that's your hippie plan, to become a green treehugger type and hang out in a commune with some chick who doesn't shave.

 

[percysunshine]

Think of all the free healthcare you could buy for a billion dollars a day.

Why do these warminists hate sick people?

 

[mamooth]

Does it bother you 'tards that the whole world is laughing at you?

Don't bother answering. We can tell it does, from the way you act.

Why do you do that all the time? Why do you reverse liberal and conservative, projecting liberal nonsense on conservatives?

Projection of ones own values and principles is most offered by those who are insecure in their beliefs and convictions.. Rampant among our warmer warriors.


"ASIDE FROM THE GLOBALWARMING ISSUES" ????? You kidding me? Your spending 1bill a day and it isnt about co2? Thats FRAUD aint it?

 

[Abraham3]

Rampant bullshit.

Was that survey about open-mindedness an example?

 

[daveman]

Rampant bullshit.

Was that survey about open-mindedness an example?

So, if it doesn't fit with your narrow, circumscribed world-view, it's "rampant bullshit".

Yes, that's very open-minded.

You have problems with "chicks" who don't shave?

“Investment to combat and adapt to climate change is happening around the world, but it’s short of where it needs to be and efforts to grow it have not been successful enough,” said Thomas Heller, the executive director of Climate Policy Initiative, the group which compiled the report.

“Leveling the playing field can help unlock significant additional finance,” he added.

The report, Landscape 2013, says that amounts invested in clean energy were dwarfed by the $523 billion a year that the world shells out in fossil fuels subsidies, according to the OECD.
The EU’s energy commissioner, Günther Oettinger was last week accused of suppressing data which shows that the bloc’s €30 billion of subsidies to renewable energy sources is outweighed by a de facto €66 billion of handouts to the fossil fuels sector, and €35 billion to nuclear power.

Some 38% of this year’s climate investment – $135 billion – came from the public sector, according to the CPI study. It was used to leverage the other 62% of funds from project developers ($102 billion), manufacturers and corporations ($66 billion) and households ($33 billion).

$538B to $370B is NOT dwarfing.. Especially per unit of energy produced..
You want MORE?????

And this spending is NOT just on energy. It's also on CO2 abatement, land use improvements, etc..
