Trillions for 1.5 degree Celsius

How on earth do people agree to have weather taxed?

A Millennial once asked how anyone could be against Climate Change because it isn’t even political. He had a point; climate change is weather. But if a political party finds an avenue to tax weather, it becomes political.

The Democrat party has earned its nickname of “The Tax and Spend Party” going back nearly one hundred years. The Democrats have found their golden goose, an avenue to trillions of dollars [$1,000,000,000,000’s] by claiming that a possible 1.5 degrees Celsius rise in temperature may destroy our planet. The Millennials have claimed the cause, to save the earth, and the Democrats have a solution. In their gullibility, Millennials have aided, even abetted, in making weather political.

The UN’s latest climate conference, UKCOP26, with its goal to keep the temperature of the planet under control, limiting its increase to 1.5 degrees, wrapped up its annual two-week conference, which was divided into two zones – the Green Zone and the Blue Zone. The Green zone was open to the general public, who were entertained with workshops, art exhibits, presentations, demonstrations of technology and musical performances. Included was the involvement of children with a poem competition courtesy of “Our Planet Now.” The children focused on the topic of something that is affecting our planet. Also in the Green Zone, “People’s Advocates” came up with planet-saving solutions such as encouraging children to walk to school and banning single-use plastics. Of all inane topics, a Gender Action Plan was tied into climate change solutions. Children’s museums are on board to lead climate research and action. No doubt, our children are recognized as critical agents of change.

The trillions aren't for anything other than lining the pockets of politicians and their donors.

Warm is good.

Cold kills.

It has been much warmer than it is now during this interglacial period of the last 15,000 years and humanity thrived during those times.

Everyone knows this is not about climate change. This is about funding a new government without a democracy.

The climate crowd wants one thing, a never ending flow of USA taxpayer money. This money will be skimmed from end to end. It will be corrupt like the UN oil for Food program.

> possible 1.5 degrees Celsius rise in temperature may destroy our planet <

No one ever mentions what the estimate of uncertainty is with these measurements. Such a value is not just a guess. It can be calculated.

Given that the Earth is so huge, the estimate of uncertainty here could well be +/- 2 degrees Celsius, or even more. In that case the original measurements would be meaningless.

But, hey. Let’s not apply standard estimate of uncertainty techniques to any of this. Let just spend billions of dollars on a problem that probably doesn’t even exist.

You cannot get a more honest assessment of “climate change” than that. It is no more complicated than that.

People need to understand WHERE all this money goes.

It does NOT go to the Climate god.. so that said “god” will fix the so-called weather crisis and right all the wrongs..

All these trillions of dollars goes to politicians, their bureaucrats, their funded “scientists”, their media types (to make promotional propaganda commercials and networks who broadcast them at us every 4.3 minutes, etc…

NONE of this actually “fixes” the perceived wrongs. Nor does it change the weather ONE iota.

What it does is transfer OUR money to the already rich and powerful.

Honestly, that applies to every “alarming issue” at hand right now. From 30,000 feet, it would seem this Country pretty much runs itself leaving politicians with plenty of time to dream up scams that enrich them and their friends. Congress has become a investigative body that sometimes legislates (<=== and that legislation is usually tied to their ability to scam).

The bottom line remains...We can't support the present population without Fossil Fuels.

And as for those electric cars?? Where do they think the electricity for the charging stations come from?

And if China cuts off the precious metal supply??

And if the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine....you don't have to be a scientist...

The 1939 movie “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” exposed DC corruption. But it was about an almost trivially small bit of corruption, a dam construction project and a land grab.

What is shocking today is the massive scale of graft and corruption — TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS of dollars.

Not long ago it was millions, then for a while it was billions, but now it is measured in TRILLIONS. The magnitude of this corruption is truly incomprehensible — nobody understands that a trillion is a MILLION MILLIONS. It’s just another word ending in “illion.”

The bastards learned quickly that they could jump from millions to billions and nothing happened to hold them to account. They are using the same technique to jump from billions to trillions. They are not held to account.

Quadrillions will happen soon with this out-of-control inflation they caused.

Fortunately for us, AOC has that all figured out. She deserves the Nobel Prize in Physics, I tell ya.

I don’t doubt the earth’s climate is changing. I don’t know the specific cause of it changing. But I do doubt that if given enough power and money, our politicians can “fix” it.
