COP25

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Around 25,000 people from 200 countries have gathered in Madrid this week to attend the COP25 climate change conference. Among them is 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who sailed across the Atlantic for three weeks to get there. Conference leaders have issued a dire message, saying the meeting represents the "point of no return" in the climate emergency. Over the next two weeks, global leaders will try to come up with a practical plan for cutting emissions to stem the threat of global warming. The plan will probably include an international emission-trading system, where governments and businesses can trade their greenhouse gas output. For instance, if one party keeps their emissions below a certain threshold, they can sell their remaining allowance to someone else. 

 

 

For anyone who thinks that global warming ISN'T about making money, read the last two sentences again.  And again.

 

If every single person on earth today stopped producing CO2, it would take several hundred years to begin reducing greenhouse gases enough to lower the global temperature.

But starting now would cut the 10 or 11 years off the "end of the planet" that has been forecast by Alexandria Occasional-Cortex et al.  We simply take the savings off the front end of the Several Hundred Years.

Al Gore was very bad at hiding the fact that this was all about the money.  Then of course there are all those "climate scientists" that are doing all they can to get a piece of the pie as well.  Oh, sorry, I forgot, it is all about the children...now.
