Market mechanisms, such as carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes, would be key in mobilizing a global response on a big-enough scale, Kyte said.

There it is - a world tax. Who gets the money?

Decarbonization refers to shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, and improving energy efficiency, in order to cut planet-warming emissions to a net zero.

The only answer, if you take this seriously, is nuclear power. But these people don't take it seriously, it's quite apparent. Not in physical terms.

As a carbon based life form I feel that I should speak up and oppose this kind of talk.

Let us not forget that ridding the world of millions if not billions of useless eaters has always been of paramount importance to globalist socialists. Refusing healthcare, heating and cooling, abortion as “choice,” promoting unhealthy lifestyles, destruction of the traditional family and intentionally dividing citizens against each other and maliciously stirring up murderous hatred of one group (i.e. white people) by another group (black people) are really forms of passive euthanasia, especially when murderous hatred finally explodes into widespread murder.

The “world tax” is a mild consequence compared to the systemic Climate fanaticism cultivated in the last 15 years (or more.)

The Climate Change zombies are for the most part gone and certainly a threat to the Constitutional liberty we struggle to retain.

The average (yet ultimate) Jane and Joe must confront the Climate agenda at the risk of being embarrassed and ill-informed. For each confrontation with the typical Climate zombie, one WILL gain valuable insight into how the Climate game is played and how it can be ultimately won.

Climate zombies are not your friend. Now go hunting...

Read about Greece and Cyprus and the other PIGs. Look at ISIS. Look at the Russian Bear on the prowl. Look at the lefties wrecking the US economy. Anyone with their head so high in the clouds that they think this nonsense is a top 15 agenda item must re-assess. The world is falling apart, we can’t manage what we already have that needs managing and now we’re going to to take over God’s business?

Good luck with that, with carbon being the fourth most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen.

The carbon trading schemes are the key driver. There will be people taking fees out of every carbon trade. The amounts could be in the trillions. This is what is driving the big money supporters of “global warming mitigation” - pure avarice.

This, together with the speed at which businesses are acting on climate change and efforts to put a price on carbon, mean "a decarbonized world is now irreversible, irrefutable," the head of the U.N. climate change secretariat told the conference.

I would suggest that this person go to the moon, but not even the moon is entirely free of carbon.

I can't think of any carbon-free planets in the solar system--maybe Mercury or Pluto? In any case, I'm pretty certain that I don't want the earth to become carbon-free. Even if we could reach such a goal, it would be a BAD idea, since that would eliminate all life on earth.

"It makes fundamental economic sense" for countries to push forward on tackling climate change because of the benefits it will bring in terms of food, water and energy, as well as employment," Christiana Figueres told a carbon market conference in Barcelona.

It makes zero economic sense. We do not have the technology to control the weather/climate, and if we did, would it be a good idea? Sure, hurricanes, tornadoes, and the like are destructive, but what would be the consequences if we tried to prevent them? Instead of wasting money on such pie-in-the-sky schemes, why not invest that money wisely, in useful technology--like better architectural methods for building storm-resistant structures?

Like other public policies (Obamacare, Amnesty-porous borders, Common Core) its about making the world business friendly and creating a new world order where big business gets the benefits of a carbon regulated society where small business are crushed by the taxes-regulatory structure.

So he wants us to convert from martensite to austenite and retain our soft ferritic interior?

Wait, he said “decarbonizing”? I thought he said “decarburizing.” Oh well, same result either way.

Sure we have a choice. We can stop believing the Human Caused Global Warming Hoax, and go about a business after we throw everyone in jail who perpetrated this fraud.

When these guys are willing to ‘decarbonize’ themselves for their cause, I might start to believe that they actually believe what they say.

World has no choice but to decarbonize

We could also sprout wings out of our ass and become bentover flying fairy people, which is just as likely.

Still waiting on the “elites” to go first and de-carbonized their lives. Somehow they are always exempt from the rigors of a carbon less life.....as they are protected by armed guards.
