Al Gore Wants to Spend $15 trillion to fight "global warming"
Daily Caller ^ | 04/25/2017 | Michael Bastach

Posted on 04/25/2017 11:20:34 AM PDT by gattaca

A group of executives who want to fight global warming has published a new report calling for countries to spend up to $600 billion a year over the next two decades to boost green energy deployment and energy efficiency equipment.

The Energy Transitions Commission’s (ETC) report claims “additional investments of around $300-$600 billion per annum do not pose a major macroeconomic challenge,” which they say will help the world meet the goals laid out in the Paris agreement.

ETC is made up of energy executives, activist leaders and investment bankers, including former Vice President Al Gore, who would no doubt get a piece of the trillions of dollars they are calling for.

ETC’s goal is to “accelerate change towards low-carbon energy systems that enable robust economic development” and limit global warming. ETC’s report comes out as the Trump administration considers whether or not to stay party to the Paris agreement, which went into effect in 2016...

That’s a $15 trillion price tag to theoretically limit future global warming.

Too late. We’ve already passed the “tipping point”.

He gets that fabulous wealth from his royalties for inventing the Internet.

Come on! He’s only asking for a quarter of the world’s wealth. That’s not too much to ask. Thing is, when you look at it like that, 1/4 of the world wealth, you see it for what it really is, is a redistribution.

That’s a hundred trillion.

You should get 85 trillion back in change.

The fact that he owns (inherited) a few million shares of occidental petroleum helps a bit too.

Gore needs to spend that kind of money on Nutrisystem...he has become a greasy looking fat phuk and the mere sight of him turns my stomach, let alone having to listen to him yammer in his self-absorbed holier than thou diction.

Some light editing was necessary.

Gore is no longer in government.

If he spends any money, it will be his own.
