If you took all the money from the rich and gave it to the poor, within a few years, the rich will be rich again, and the poor will still be poor.

“One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,” said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015. “We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,” said Edenhofer.

Last year, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, made a similar statement:

“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said in anticipation of last year’s Paris climate summit.

Perhaps Naomi Klein summed up best what the warming the fuss is all about in her book “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate.”

“What if global warming isn’t only a crisis?” Klein asks in a preview of a documentary inspired by her book. “What if it’s the best chance we’re ever going to get to build a better world?”

In her mind, the world has to “change, or be changed” because an “economic system” — meaning free-market capitalism — has caused environmental “wreckage.”

We will let you slide, but they stopped showing those movies and telling those stories in the 70’s.

Eli Fenichel, how much did the price of food go up due to land used to grow corn for ethanol instead of food for human consumption? The Ivy League, is one of America's most dangerous domestic enemy.

People like the author are a special kind of stupid-hasn’t he even so much as read about the Medieval warming period, the little ice age/Maunder minimum, etc? How about less ice and warmer temperatures mean more arable land and a longer growing season, which means more food, more cultural and mechanical advances, etc...

And all that happened before industrialization, too...

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. -— Joseph Goebbels

[[ it could rob from the poor to give to the rich,]]

It ‘could’ rob them? Folks, it already IS robbing us- everything cost much more today because of ‘climate change regulations’ imposed on businesses and passed along onto us- food, clothing, transportation, vehicles, whatever- almost everything is already impacted by oppressive regulations- coal mines are shutting down all over the US because of impossible regulations in the name of climate change- on and on it goes-

Don’t be fooled- we are already paying a heavy price for climate change regulations, and it’;s only just goign to get worse-
