BONN, Germany – Carbon taxes, add-ons to international air fares and a levy on cross-border money movements are among ways being considered by a panel of the world's leading economists to raise a staggering $100 billion a year to fight climate change.

See, it never was about climate. It has always been about taking peoples money.

So now the UN is God without cash? How arrogant are men who believe they control the Earth’s climate like 0bama can?

Can’t we show up at their doors with torches and pitchforks, drag them out by their necks and send their remains to a turkish prison?

So, When are we all going to be required to wear small CO2 meters on our nostrils?
It will be for the children don’t ya know.

[xuberalles]

Yep, just another mechanism for wealth redistribution.

In short, a new industrial revolution is needed to move the world away from fossil fuels to low carbon growth, he said.

But why? CO2 is the chemical staff of life. In a sense it is what all biological life is. Animated CO2.

It defies the laws of physics for CO2 to affect the planet's temperature.

$100 billion? Hell, Obama’s printing presses churn that out in the blink of an eye.

I’ve seen the U.N.H.Q. in New York......it has all of the windows it needs.
That’s is all they need to know about the weather, as there is NOTHING they can do about it!

[cranked]

What’s really needed is the UN to be disbanded and all its doors shut permanently..... =.=

This is the variant on the "Big Lie" technique, changing it into the "Big Scam". I believe that there has been Global Warming (GW) but not Human-caused GW (AGW) and on top of that, I have yet to see ANYTHING on the human level that can do diddly to reduce it.

As others know, given the UN's past behavior, they are worse than even the US Congress in prudently spending money, especially given that there is no oversight capability governing this inherently corrupt process. I point to such operation as the "Oil for Food" scandal as food-for-thought. Annual $100 Billion budgets will get spent, but wisely and prudently? Don't make me laugh!

They just won't let it go, will they?
