Surprising Story Coming From CNBC says Paris Climate Accord is “irrelevant” and cuts would “impoverish the world”

Jack Simmons writes:

When I first started reading this story, I had to do a double take.

CNBC-climate-accord

Not only was story accurate regarding the costs of trying to live up to the Paris accord, but it was being given prominence from a news organization I would have thought was a reliable supporter of the CAGW meme.
Notice also the source of the information was characterized as a scientist not a denier. A peer reviewed scientist at that.

Is there some sort of shift going on in the MSM world?

Here is one comment made by the author:

” In order to decarbonize the power sector within the next 40 years, the world would have to invest at least $9 trillion — and an additional $6.4 trillion to make other industries more environmentally friendly.”

None of this is new to someone familiar with the costs of ‘fighting climate change.’ What is new is someone in the MSM universe acknowledging the consequences of actually trying to live up to these accords.

To impoverish the world is the goal. Until the underclass agrees to, demands even, population reduction in the hopes of tempering the misery.

Not the Lear jet leftists of course. They will continue to live in unparalleled luxury.

The pendulum is swinging back, it seems. The scam of man-made climate change is beginning to be seen by people with half a brain as the scam it is.

There are 10,000 people cut off by snow in the mountains of Guatemala right now. Worse snow in 30 years. They will basically be ignored by the world because snow was supposed to be a distant memory by now. Btw - It is June.

The political class is all about lining their pockets at the expense of the underlings. They give the illusion that they are the champions of the underclass. In reality they will create a poverty that will widen the margin between the ruling class and the underclass. This is what self appointed saviors do. They exploit their power for their own pockets.

That is a terrific statement and if you don’t mind I am going to use it as a quote.

CNBC, being the business wing of NBC, cannot avoid having some realists in their stable. Its the only place you’ll find them in the MSM.

‘The pendulum is swinging back, it seems. The scam of man-made climate change is beginning to be seen by people with half a brain as the scam it is.’

I have noticed a change with CNN also. Their rating have dropped a ton and they are afraid for their cushy jobs. Looks like their jobs trumps their radical beliefs.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

As I’ve said before, “that’s not a bug, it’s a feature”.

The headline caused me to do a double take. There seems to be a slight shift to the sane going on in some of the liberal media.
