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.
Does Gore WANTS mean anything? Nothing he has said, or will say means squat!!
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific power to tax and spend in the name of politically correct global warming.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So it’s up to other countries to tax their citizens to pay for unaccountable funding to fight politically correct global warming.
Exactly. Hogs will be hogs. He should be stripped of his honirs and thrown in jail for the biggest CON in history.
He probably wouldn’t pay a dime but it will be forced on the rest of us. That will put us all in the poor house forever...
honirs=honors
I note that these big advocates don’t spend their hard earned graft to resolve any problems.
He has disgusted me for decades.
It is, he should be in jail. He invests in these green companies then gets fed money invested so the stock goes up then he cashes out and the company nose dives because it’s a B.S. company. He hasn’t held one job since he was VP yet he’s worth over half a billion now.
Go for it, Al. Spend every dime you have and save the world. It’s the least that a true believer in Climate Change religion should do.
So which bank is he going to funnel wash this in?
Exactly. Hogs will be hogs. He should be stripped of his honirs and thrown in jail for the biggest CON in history.
He can’t spend our money any longer.
That’s why I say he can spend all he likes.
Burn through your own money Al. Enjoy...
Trump has already put the kibosh on spending our money.
The whole global warming mess could be fixed with a single box of CCI Stingers.
You’re right! Nah, he can keep the change - buy Leo DiCaptrio some carbon credits with it.
If The Goracle read the AL Gore posts on FR he would be wishing he had never invented the Internet.
What’s Al’s cut?
Crazed Sex Poodle needs more dough.....................
You should get 85 trillion back in change.
You expect to get change from Al ,LOL good one
hasn’t this lying crook bilked enough $$ from Americans for this fake ‘cause’????
like, its not like he’s hungry in the bread line...
As long as its Gores money, let him spend it, not going to change a damn thing to “improve’ the global warming foolishness other than get him “BROKE”. Maybe then he will shut the hell up.
