STICKER SHOCK! Cost of UN Climate Pact: $100 TRILLION
The New American ^ | 28 February 2017 | William F. Jasper

Posted on 02/28/2017 10:37:52 AM PST by VitacoreVision

President Trump has pledged to cancel U.S. participation in the United Nations climate agreement signed last year by President Obama in Paris. However, various media sources are reporting that the president has backed off of this campaign commitment due to lobbying from daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, who reportedly support the UN Paris Agreement. Also in the global-warming alarmist camp, apparently, is Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

There are many compelling arguments for President Trump to make good on this signature campaign promise, notwithstanding the dissidents within his family and his cabinet. Cost alone provides sufficient reason to deep-six the agreement, without even going into the incredible liberty-destroying regulatory shackles it proposes for the entire planet. The price tag associated with the global carbon-regulating regime envisioned in the document is nothing short of mind-boggling. How much would it cost? According to Danish environmentalist/statistician Bjørn Lomborg, the cumulative price tag for the UN Paris Climate Agreement, by the end of the century, would be an astronomical $100 trillion!

“Much has been made of the Paris Climate Agreement signed by the leaders of 178 countries in 2016,” states Dr. Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center in Denmark in a recent video for the Prager University website. When Gina McCarthy, President Obama’s head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, testified before the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, noted Lomborg, she said the Paris Agreement was an “incredible achievement.”

[[And the 100 trillion is all about wealth redistribution and will have 0 effect on climate!]]

Well at least we will get to sue the UN for fraud when the impact is zero /s

Wasn't that the one where they declared that it would successfully reduce the global temp average by 1/2 degree Centigrade by the end of the century?

[[The global warming scam is the chosen vehicle for a new world order’s Marxism and tyranny.]]

I’ve been saying that for years- I personally think it’s going to be the vehicle through which the mark of the beast will be forced on everyone because we will be so broke from this scam we will be forced to accept the mark just to survive- Governments WILL use this scam to make their citizens dependent on the government

[[Even if we build nuclear power plants and give free electric scooters to everyone for this money, the climate will still do what it’s doing.]]

IF we quadrupled the world’s out put of CO2, it still would not equal even .006% of the atmosphere- our current CO2 production worldwide amounts to just 0.00136% of the atmosphere- Nothing we do is going to create enough CO2 to cause any change in the climate worldwide one iota-

The Mossad-CIA connection to all the child-sex-organ-human-arms-drug- Trafficking and all civil unrest/wars is a trillion + “business” and the Deep State (Mossad/CIA/Dyncorp) are not going to allow their little trillion dollars pocket money to be eliminated.

We need to get out of these evil, corrupt organizations (anyone who are for them is evil and getting a pay-off). All of these organizations have to be eliminated yesterday!!!! Scientism—which is the irrational forced religion on us as they eject Common Sense (Reason) and the US Constitution and our “Justice” System—has to be thrown OUT, since it is incompatible with the Constitution and Freedom. We are SLAVES to these unconstitutional organizations which fund world slavery, organ trafficking, arms/drugs to destroy youth.

This control over taxpayer money for other than military protection of our borders has to end. All this other “cr*p” is just a money-laundering schemes, as most non-profit (ha ha) Foundations which have to be eliminated also—with all their tax write-offs (money laundering-power-bribery systems).

We had better hope and pray that it is a long long time before a liberal or rino takes office- because as soon as they do- we WILL be signed up to a nation destroying climate agreement- Hopefully Trump will not give in on this now-

I didn’t know I voted for a woman who dropped her faith like a bad habit and now worships the earth.

What the heck?

I can’t believe Jared and Ivanka have this kind of sway with the President. This Paris thing is a no-brainer.

Am I now to understand that the fate of Common Core and 0bamacare lies in whole or in part on what the unelected daughter and son-in-law thinks?

Will Ivanka be renegotiating NAFTA? Maybe Jared thinks TPP is all well and good for the USA.

America is gasping for air and these two are wasting the President’s valuable time lobbying for their own globalist agenda.

The U.N. folks behind that have quotes saying pretty much the same thing. “The largest change in economics of how the world is run” etc.
