So here we have it! Call it the “Great Awakening” or simply a “Financial Audit” of the World’s books, finally, after decades of “tomfoolery” and “manipulation” with hysterical accounts on how the “World is about to burst into flames”!
Instead of proving their Global Warming claims, these “Green Environmentalists” seem to have one common theme that tie each other together………to DESTROY the World Economy and reduce everyone down to “cave dwellers” where we will all be cooking our food on a stick over a candle!
Criminal?…………..YES!, but just try and find an authority in the World that hasn’t been corrupted by the Green Lobby! History books will reflect this period as the “Green Ages” and this period will go down as one of the most ignorant, ill informed and unscientific era since the actual “Dark Ages”. The people involved in this “massive Con Game” will also be listed and it won’t be a pretty picture. If any of the people who have pushed this Green Insanity has one ounce of pride left in them and want to get on the right side of history, they should admit they have been wrong all along and publicly apologize for causing mayhem and contributing to the mess we are in now!~ If not, suffer the slings and arrows of a million words that will describe you all as being “depraved socialist idiots bent on bringing the world to the brink of collapse”!
The following story is just about the U.S.A. but holds true for all other countries in the world including Canada and specifically Ontario where we are basically one step away from becoming a Third World basket case!
The Alarming Cost Of Climate Change Hysteria
Larry Bell, Contributor
8/23/2011 I write about climate, energy, environmental and space policy issues.
The U.S. Government Accounting Office (GAO) can’t figure out what benefits taxpayers are getting from the many billions of dollars spent each year on policies that are purportedly aimed at addressing climate change.
A May 20 report noted that while annual federal funding for such activities has been increasing substantially, there is a lack of shared understanding of strategic priorities among the various responsible agency officials. This assessment agrees with the conclusions of a 2008 Congressional Research Service analysis which found no “overarching policy goal for climate change that guides the programs funded or the priorities among programs.”
According to the GAO, annual federal climate spending has increased from $4.6 billion in 2003 to $8.8 billion in 2010, amounting to $106.7 billion over that period. The money was spent in four general categories: technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, science to understand climate changes, international assistance for developing countries, and wildlife adaptation to respond to actual or expected changes. Technology spending, the largest category, grew from $2.56 billion to $5.5 billion over this period, increasingly advancing over others in total share. Data compiled by Joanne Nova at the Science and Policy Institute indicates that the U.S. Government spent more than $32.5 billion on climate studies between 1989 and 2009. This doesn’t count about $79 billion more spent for climate change technology research, foreign aid and tax breaks for “green energy.”
OMB pointed out that their previously noted agency budget compilations didn’t include revenues lost for the special deductions and tax credits intended to encourage greenhouse gas emission reductions. They attributed to those subsidies a cost of $7.2 billion in federal revenue losses during 2010 alone, ($16.1 billion since 1993), bringing the total since 2003 to $122.8 billion. Then there’s still another $26.1 billion earmarked for climate change programs and related activities within the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (or “Stimulus Bill”).
Climate change spending won’t slow any time soon…not so long as current Obama policies prevail. A proposed $1,328 million FY 2012 budget for its Global Climate Change Initiative (GCCI) aimed at helping developing countries address man-made global warming problems that we’ve allegedly caused represents a 557% increase since FY 2008 (then $202 million). Implemented through programs sponsored by the Department of State, Treasury, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), it is funded by the administration’s executive budget. As stated, “The President’s FY2012 budget request follows on the December 2010 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) negotiations in Cancun, Mexico, which formulated a package of ‘nationally appropriate’ measures toward the goal of avoiding dangerous climate change.” This is part of “…a commitment to near-term and long-term climate financing for the least developed countries amounting to near $30 billion for the period 2010-2012, and $100 billion annually by 2020.”
