World Bank: Time To Stop Arguing Over Climate Change, It's Real!

[Papasito]

You know what?
As soon as the US Government can build one of these:
Then I will be eager to pay a Climate Change tax.


If you watched the new Superman movie, this is what is called a World Engine. It changes the atmospheric composition and engineers the layers of the atmosphere to a desired composition.

Right now this is science fiction. But it is the only cure for changing the atmosphere.

Design one, tell us how much it costs, and tax us that amount.

Otherwise, a Climate Change tax is complete B.S. and only another reason for countries to steal more money from citizens. This money will then be used to fund other unfunded programs, and nothing will be done. Why? Look at Social Security and Medicaid. That's why.



Does the Government really want to save the world?
I say NO.

Here's proof:

Everyone who is up on the environment knows about the Pacific Garbage Patch

They tell us it's terrible. A huge mass of plastic just floating and growing in the Pacific Ocean.

Well, this was invented:

An ocean of concern over the blight of plastic waste in the Atlantic and Pacific could be cured by a 19-year-old inventor's ingenuity -- and nose for profit.

Boyan Slat, an aerospace engineering student at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, has created a foundation to build high-tech saltwater trash collectors that could recycle 7.2 billion kg of plastic from the oceans in just five years.
"It will be very hard to convince everyone in the world to handle their plastics responsibly, but what we humans are very good in is inventing technical solutions to our problems," he writes on his site, boyanslat.com. "And that's what we're doing."


Slat's plan is to design barges -- complete with floating booms -- that would collect and munch up floating plastic debris fields, including the infamous "Great Pacific Garbage Patch."

This invention has been out for more than a year.

Is there a single Government in the world funding the cleanup of the Pacific Ocean?

NO.


Climate Change tax is another excuse for Governments to tax and control the people they rule over.

Papasito, China and India have been taken to task quite often because of their pollution issues. The US has one of the highest per capita rates of greenhouse gas emissions in the world at 23.5 tons per person per year, compared to China's 5.5 and India's 1.7. Both China and India have or are enacting regulations to cut down on greenhouse gases. Of the top economic powers, ONLY the US and Russia have no comprehensive plans.

If emissions per capita is your standard, shouldn't we be criticizing Qatar, Bahrain, Belize, UAR, Malaysia and even Canada? Those and several other countries exceed the US in per capita emissions.

Yes. But in terms of total emissions, those are tiny. North America, the EU, BRIC and Japan account for 50% of global emissions. Throw in Indonesia and that is 55%. Qatar, Bahrain, Belize, UAE and Malaysia combine for a whopping 1.5 %.

This is China 2014.
Bags of fresh air are sent to China's most polluted cities as smog worsens.



This is not happening ANYWHERE in North America [[north of the Rio).
Why doesn't the world have the guts to take on China's destruction of the planet? Environmentalists don't have the guts... plus they love the cheap goods.

Greenpeace has faced down the largest coal company in China [[and the world) and gotten major concessions - and those concessions were announced three weeks ago.​ They have also blockaded shipments of electronic waste and other things. The real question is "why does this get ZERO play in the media?"
