I was going to put this in Fragile Earth, but when world leaders ask us to cough up these phenomenal amounts to pay for a problem that we don't
currently know %100 is man made, then it has to go under 'New World Order' I'm afraid!
EU puts €100bn-a-year price on tackling climate
change
European leaders agreed for the first time today that the price tag for tackling global warming would amount to €100bn (£89bn) a year by 2020,
up to half of which would need to come from taxpayers' money in the developed world.
But mired in wrangling over how to split the European share of the bill among 27 countries and how much Europe collectively should spend, they failed
to agree on urgent short-term funding for combating climate change in the developing world.
For US members, that is $150 Billion
PER YEAR!
And here's who's going to pick up half the bill directly:-
Of the €100bn Euros ballpark figure, the Europeans said €22bn-€50bn should be public sector money in annual transfers to the developing
world by 2020.
That's right, YOUR taxes, and it's going to be funnelled to the third world to help them fight global warming!
I'm sorry, but the level of corruption and inefficiency in the third world is astronomical, how the hell is this ever going to work!?
And who decided that my hard earned money is going to be used for this?
We are being robbed blind my friends, robbed blind, and the majority of the sheep will be more than happy to hand over their cash.
