Here's one way to solve global warming: Spend $90 trillion (£59 trillion) over the next few years to redesign all the cities — as in all the cities on earth — so people live in more densely packed neighborhoods and don't need cars.

[goldstategop]

Yup.

After all, those rural people and suburbanities are fascists who resist the new Soviet order.

We need to resettle them for their own good.

[MeshugeMikey]

I tried to do the math to ascertain how much each person on the planet would “need” to “share” to make this “plan” “work” and gave up...

[goldstategop]

These obscenely rich people won’t give up their countryside and oceanside retreats.

They just want to keep the Little People from spoiling their private views.

That’s what its really all about.

[onedoug]

Hey Davos bastages, EFF YOU and your families.

[MeshugeMikey]

it appears that the answer is 1285.71428571 bucks from every man woman and child on the planet...

[goldstategop]

They can drive THEIR cars.

But they don’t want you to drive YOURS.

If the US government confiscated the wealth of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans, it wouldn’t cover federal spending for even one year.

[goldstategop]

Where will they get $90 Trillion dollars from?

The world has only $30 Trillion dollars GDP.

These people are f*ckin’ insane.

[GeronL]

pure insanity and Orwellian too

[MeshugeMikey]

this davos plan were it to rely on the wealth of the USA...would require a whoping...$27,7762.69 ...from each of us.

fat chance

[goldstategop]

The kind of money do to this on the scale they want doesn’t exist.

Its outlandish and only rich people could come up with nutty ideas like this one.

[hlmencken3]

Only way to get the real value is by confiscating net worth. But not the net worth of the Davos attendees!

[xp38]

right here :)

[Professional Engineer]

It’s a good thing these new denser cities won’t have any kind of heat island effect.

Oh wait.

[goldstategop]

If they built apartments for free, no one would come.

China has ghost cities full of gleaming apartments.

Which is the Davos’ crowd’s vision of urban living.

[MeshugeMikey]

a fine example of why they detest the easy reference of Information...available over the internet.

do these people even USE the net???

[MeshugeMikey]

amazing....

no location..location..location..

[GeronL]

The evil rich are leftists

[GeronL]

This would happen over 50 to 100 years I expect, they know there would be no way to fund it in less time than that

[GeronL]

only leftists anyway
