The recent report published by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, an organization aimed at helping the world's societies to combat the effects of climate change, suggests that the costs of combating climate change are considerably lower than widespread opinion has suggested.
The study tells us that between 2015 and 2030, nations are expected to invest roughly $90 trillion in urban, land-use and energy infrastructure. The report suggests that implementing the fixes necessary to transition to entirely sustainable sources of energy would amount to 4 trillion. So, this amounts to 5% increase of the total amount that is estimated to be spent on new power plants, transit systems, and other infrastructure over the same period. While economically feasible, the report's recommended changes are expected to face a tough political reception.
Additional specifics deal with the implementation of a carbon tax and enabling the growth of alternative energies.
So, a greener tomorrow is just on the horizon, but it's all dependent on how willing we are to embrace it now.

Going cheap one slightly soiled global, socialist, economic and climatic theory for the unification of everyone and everything!!! See AlGore or, if not home, he will leave it at the UN for you to pick up!
In 4 days the Volcano in Iceland wiped all the reduction in CO2 due to the trillians spent over the last 25 years.
“The report suggests that implementing the fixes necessary to transition to entirely sustainable sources of energy would amount to 4 trillion.”
Another figure pulled out of Al Gore’s ass.
If you talk to your average liberal dipshit, they honestly think that man-made CO2 is more dangerous or powerful than the benevolent natural CO2 that comes out of volcanos and the mouths of baby seals.
They really are that stupid.

The report suggests that implementing the fixes necessary to transition to entirely sustainable sources of energy would amount to 4 trillion.”A trillion dollars, here, a trillion dollars there - first thing you know, you’re talking real money."
