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.
If this rich idiot wants to spend his own money, go for it. The fool tilts at windmills. Hahaha. Fat, ignorant and rich is no way to go through life. Pathetic dunce.
Just as long as none of it is Al Gore’s money. He likes to spend everyone else’s money. Plus this is all a scam anyways.
Wouldn’t that be the “Tipper Point”?
Is that a fat al gore joke? ;)
I remember 10 years ago, right before I left California, Algore was finishing up his 8,000 sq.ft. estate in Montecito....right around the corner from Opfrah Winfrey’s house. Gore paid 20 million for his little place.Global warming pays! : )
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
I am pretty fed up with the forum right now, all the trashing of Trump, Ivanka, and Jared.
We’ve got a lot of children here, and some folks who are very destructive.
That Gore story doesn’t surprise me.
It does disgust me how these folks attack the right for being so much more wealthy than the poor minorities, as if he’s pure as the driven snow.
Hope all is going good for you.
