Two years ago, U.N. researchers were claiming that it would cost “as much as $600 billion a year over the next decade” to go green. Now, a new U.N. report has more than tripled that number to $1.9 trillion per year for 40 years.
So let's do the math: That works out to a grand total of $76 trillion, over 40 years -- or more than five times the entire Gross Domestic Product of the United States ($14.66 trillion a year). It’s all part of a “technological overhaul” “on the scale of the first industrial revolution” called for in the annual report. Except that the U.N. will apparently control this next industrial revolution.
The new 251-page report with the benign sounding name of the “World Economic and Social Survey 2011” is rife with goodies calling for “a radically new economic strategy” and “global governance.”
Throw in possible national energy use caps and a massive redistribution of wealth and the survey is trying to remake the entire globe. The report has the imprimatur of the U.N., with the preface signed by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon – all part of the “goal of full decarbonization of the global energy system by 2050.”
Make no mistake, much of this has nothing to do with climate.
The press release for the report discusses the need “to achieve a decent living standard for people in developing countries, especially the 1.4 billion still living in extreme poverty, and the additional 2 billion people expected worldwide by 2050.” That sounds more like global redistribution of wealth than worrying about the earth’s thermostat.
That’s because it is. The report goes on and says “one half of the required investments would have to be realized in developing countries.” In other words, $38 trillion would go to the developing world.

I could wile away the hours
Conferrin’ with the flowers
Consultin’ with the rain
And my head I’d be scratchin’
While my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain
I’d unravel any riddle
For any individ’le
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts that i’d be thinkin’
I could be another LincOLN
If I only had a brain
I would not be just a nuffin’
My head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and I’d be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain
As for modern civilization, pull it down, pack it up, put it away -- game over.
Aside from the fact that what they want CANNOT be achieved ... ever; their attempts (if allowed to continue) will inevitably result -- intentionally -- in the deaths of BILLIONS of persons.

Last in Class: Critics Give U.N. Climate Researchers an ‘F’
A group of 40 auditors — including scientists and public policy experts from across the globe — have released a shocking report card on the U.N.’s landmark climate-change research report. And they gave 21 of the report’s 44 chapters a grade of “F.”

It’s also of interest to note that Maurice Strong was behind the Global-cooling hysteria of the seventies.
It didn’t work, but no doubt was something he never gave up on, tweaking the basic plateform to become the much more scarier “Global warming”.
