Follow the (climate change) money
Washington Times ^ | 12/16/18 | Stephen Moore

**SNIP**

How big is the Climate Change Industrial Complex today? Surprisingly, no one seems to be keeping track of all the channels of funding. A few years ago Forbes magazine went through the federal budget and estimated about $150 billion in spending on climate change and green energy subsidies during President Obama’s first term.

That didn’t include the tax subsidies that provide a 30 percent tax credit for wind and solar power —so add to those numbers about $8 billion to $10 billion a year. Then add billions more in costs attributable to the 29 states with renewable energy mandates that require utilities to buy expensive “green” energy.

Worldwide the numbers are gargantuan. Five years ago, a leftist group called the Climate Policy Initiative issued a study which found that “Global investment in climate change” reached $359 billion that year. Then to give you a sense of how money-hungry these planet-saviors are, the CPI moaned that this spending “falls far short of what’s needed” a number estimated at $5 trillion.

No one hires a fireman if there are no fires. No one hires a climate scientist (there are thousands of them now) if there is no catastrophic change in the weather.

Even more of the hoax exposed.

Three easy proofs that climate change is a scam:
1. Everything is based on the models that predict the future temperatures. Every model has been proven dramatically wrong.
2. If the leadership of this scam actually believed it was true, then all of their efforts would be placed on China and India. Instead, they are exempted.
3. It is all about the money!

What? It is fact the planet has warmed. Whether we can do anything about it is the only debate left.

4. Whenever there is some news that global warming is not happening, and thus all rational people should rejoice, the Warmists instead go ballistic.

Well, we had record snow falls for this decase, and most of it related to coolingx and not to higher warm climate moisture content.

At this point whether we are warming or cooling is a toss up.

What is not a toss up is man made starvation through sucj policies

Of course I can prove it.

Seriously, you don’t really believe the planet isnt warming?

One can debate why. One can’t debate it is happening

I think you are kidding.

Anyone who has heard of Al Gore’s oceanside mansion should know that it makes no sense if he believed one word of what he himself has been preaching for decades. This country is truly filled with people too stupid to walk and chew gum.
