Happy Hot Air Day!
Steve Milloy (read his columns here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca!) has a new gizmo on his web site that tracks in real time the amount of money that the ridiculous Kyoto Accord is costing while doing practically nothing of benefit at all.
Today marks the global implementation (except for the U.S. and Australia) of the international global warming treaty known as the Kyoto Protocol.
Steve Milloy has lots of articles of interest at his site and is raring to go on tracking the “progress” of the Kyoto Accord in controlling man-made global warming (snicker).
[…]For our cost values we basically went with the optimistic guesstimate of $150 billion per annum compliance cost. This figure is divided to an amount per second and accumulated in 0.05 second increments. Granted, we could have used much more aggressive cost estimates but we just can’t see the governments of the EU, Japan and maybe Canada being permitted to squander any more funds that could be usefully applied to such frivolous pursuits as domestic health care, third world development aid or even infrastructure repair and replacement.
The above guesstimates do not include the billions allocated to “global warming” research ($2 billion per annum in the US alone), “alternative” energy research ($3 billion in the US) and subsidy ($? lots, with forced market share), public
indoctrination
education campaigns, public monies misdirected to NGOs and other pressure groups or the donations frightened out of the public by the various foundations and alleged charities acting against human interest. These additional funds are the gravy train of Big Warming, a multi-billion-dollar industry devoted to generating scary scenarios and pronouncements of impending doom to further their own agendas or simply maintain their grant stream and employment. Curiously, Big Warming presents the absurd idea that warming advocacy is purely altruistic while the paltry few hundred thousands in donations or grants that were (I don’t know if they still are) available to help present the counter case somehow invalidates the science or opinion of anyone who dares to disagree – a position actively promoted by the mainstream but actively Left-leaning media. Quite how multi-billions don’t influence while a few thousands “obviously corrupt” we have not been able to discern.
Many billions of dollars have already been squandered on this farce and now it really begins.
What a stupid game this is.
