What a man of vision....the economies of the world are smoldering and this guy wants to plant some flowers.

Who says the UN is out of touch?

some ask how we can afford to tackle climate change.

Alas, read my tag line and meet the boss.

You want to know how the world's economies are doing? Ask a scrap man, yep that's the guy, he collects up all those soda pop cans, you see them along the roads, most everywhere. Back in the summer he could get $.40 a pound for aluminum. Today is 2 to 3 cents a pound. Worldwide the market for scrap metal has dried up. Steel is currently worth zero to a scrap company, I just asked.

No scrap metal, and aluminum is considered the most valuable because it uses so much energy to originally produce, no worldwide product production. Copper was at 2 cents a pound locally today. So the back end is telling the front end, the world's economies are at near dead stop.

Not good.
