And this is exactly what the Harris administration will want to enforce here in America. One of the first things they want to do will be to re-join the Paris climate accord nonsense .

The people who voted for the steal are going to be devoured by the monster they created.

Models and data gathering is loaded with error. The error compounds as you move out into the future. By the time you get 50 years into the future, the Error Cone is so large that it obscures any impact of efforts to curb Global Warming.

In other words - NOTHING you can do today is enough to even be visible 50 years from now. If the USA quit driving, flying and heating our homes - 50 years from now you could not observe an impact.

Good luck fixing something that you cannot measure.

Global Tax managed by the UN sending money from the USA to the rest of the world.
Congress will let it happen

Let Bill Gates, Tom Steyer, George Soros, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, the Koch brothers and the other billionaires who want to tell the rest of us how to live begin to feel the impact of the policies they advocate:

1) Share the wealth - Redistribute 50% of the their net worth in the first year. Again each year until net worth is less than $50 million. That is more than enough for any human being.
2) Higher taxes - 90% tax rate on annual income over $1,000,000. They complain their taxes are too high
3) Limit of one home no more than 2000 square feet. Must reduce the carbon footprint. Until their house is sold, they will be required to take in Section 8 tenants
4) Private jets - take them away and scrap them. Must reduce the carbon footprint. Fly on public airlines if you must go somewhere.
5) Yachts - again, scrap them. Must reduce the carbon foot print.
6) Motor vehicles - Limit of one 4 cylinder fossil fueled vehicle or one Prius. Must reduce the carbon footprint.
7) Walls and fences around homes - Must be torn down just as they advocate for the border.
8) Personal security - No personal bodyguards and no personal arms. Walk the talk.
9) Children - cannot attend elite private insinuations. Must attend public schools and public universities. Privilege is bad.
10) Medical care - No more than an Obamacare bronze plan. Again, we need to eliminate privilege.
11) Private clubs - Banned. Again, we must eliminate privilege.

And guess what? Every American, including the single mom working second shift at Walmart, is considered the ‘global rich’ by these twats. Of course, to coordinate all this cutting back, they will each have to fly their own private jet to Switzerland, Bali, etc. every year...

Surprisingly most of the uber-rich have net negative carbon footprints. That is because they invest most of their money in new technologies meant to make them richer, which has the side effect of using energy more efficiently. Money is data, and at its root money is data about energy consumption. The way to get rich in a free market is to produce a product cheaper than competitors can. This is mainly done by using less energy and indirectly generating less pollution.

Of course what the UN means is that Soros,Bill Gates,the Obamas,etc get to keep their private jets and their 30,000 sq ft beach houses while the American middle class commutes to work on bicycles,can’t have their thermostats above 48 degrees in winter and gets to eat squirrels and grubs rather than chicken,beef or fish.

Fifty years ago THE COMING ICE AGE was blamed on Pollution.

Today Glo-Bull warming is blamed on....pollution again.

It appears that blaming everything on pollution is just a way to modify human activity.

But it’s not the *global rich* who are doing most of the polluting.

Cutting 97% of 5% is not going to change as much as cutting 97% of 50%.

Go after China and India and other third world countries that pollute more in one day than we do in a whole year.

That translates into a reduction of 97% in carbon emissions for the wealthiest people.

This is terrible how will they be able to fly their jets to the next climate conference?

Cut Barack and Moochelle by 97% first.

Their carbon footprint is a lot bigger than mine.

The claim is scientific B.S. and most importantly it is B.S. even by bits of science that are not in dispute - such as how long CO2 that reaches the atmosphere stays in the atmosphere.

That science acknowledges that even drastic cuts in additional CO2 emissions will not alter growth of atmospheric CO2 for anywhere from another 100 to 200 years.

So, instead of investing in climate mitigation and adaptation measures, which would help BUILD economies over the next 100 to 200 years, and - should the wrong headed alarmists theories ever pan out - help society become resilient to climate changes, the alarmists would destroy our economies today, and leave us poorer over the next 100 to 200 years.

If anyone thinks we cannot adapt to climate change, they only need to consider that humans have established habitats in nearly every weather climate on earth, and that as much as various species of plants and animals fall to climate changes, others always rise on those same changes, and LIFE writ large has a mission to adapt and survive.

The alarmists have no faith in humanity or in LIFE.
