Gosh. Who knew that a massive tax could solve all imagined climate problems?

The UN is demanding control over $1.6 trillion per year to control climate. See Section 47 in draft # FCCC/AWGLCA/2011/CRP.39 9 December 2011 #GE.11-71576 at: http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2011/awglca14/eng/crp39.pdf
47. The provision of the amount of funds to be made available annually to developing country Parties, which shall be equivalent to the budget that developed countries spend on defence, security, and warfare. Fifty per cent of that amount shall be for adaptation, 20 per cent for mitigation, 15 per cent for technology development and transfer and 15 per cent for forest-related actions in developing country Parties;
See Reuters: Worldwide military spending edged up in 2010 to a record $1.6 trillion, a leading think-tank said on Monday.

Until then, the immediate urgent task is to provide alternative fuels while caring for the poor.Conventional climate mitigation comes in dead last in benefit/cost.”

…I could control the climate for 1/2 that
They can have $1.60, final offer
I followed the links and wasn’t able to spot where the UN demanded control over $1.6 trillion – could you please quote the relevant text?
TIA
Its just a matter of time before it becomes clear to all that money, greed , power and control is a major facter in “climate change”
The EU has wasted over 1/4 billion Euro on propping up the european carbon market already. That cash could have rebuilt all coal fired generating plant with filters and reduced co2 emissions 30%.

It follows logically from:

I gather that a hoax document has been circulating at Durban… the BBC was taken in (no surprise there then) but admitted as much at lunchtime news today. I suggest we take care about all this.
well let them have it, the mechanism is very peculiar and all ways lead to Rome :
1.99% of that trillion disappears in various cleptocrats’ pockets
2.the cleptocrats buy funds with bonds, from financial wizzards
3.these bond buyers go for the highest and safest returns on the market
4.the highest and safest returns are with the countries that do not subscribe to this mess
5.the rest collapses slowly like pieces of glaciers in a hot polar sea
6.so in the end all the money and power ends up where it should.
gaiia cares about you
Hv a nice day, for the rest (eat a banana or something, but remember to put off the peel)
Louise,
…” which shall be equivalent to the budget that developed countries spend on defence, security, and warfare”…
How much is that?

If we are going to spend money to solve problems…lets start with real ones first.
It’s a rather sad statement about by the human race in general, but, “money, greed , power and control” are the driving factors in most things. The objective is to corral those and steer them into something useful for the general public without doing too much damage from the always present unintended consequences.
Louse…… It’s in section 47….. you must have missed reading that bit….:-) Pretty nutty stuff if you ask me.
It’s time to send some ‘family’ guys over to the UN to make them an offer they can’t refuse.

I think it’s quite clear now why some folks love “consensus” so much.
“The convention operates by consensus, and the package will not be put up for a vote.”

The Messiah of the United States has lowered the sea level, so the compaints about the sea level rising are without merit.
UN/IPCC “scientists” should draw-up plans for capping Carbon Dioxide sources such as Mauna Loa – now experiencing a series of tremors which creates fear of an explosive eruption – and Mount Etna, not to mention Katla and Eyjafjallajokull (five times rapidly) in Iceland.
Actually, this would be a project more suitable to the expertise of Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, of white-wash the Earth fame.

States imperilled by warming rebel at climate talks
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/12/10/worldupdates/2011-12-10T053052Z_5_TRE7B81MV_RTROPTT_0_UK-CLIMATE&sec=Worldupdates
Scientists say those promises are not yet enough to limit global warming to the two degrees Celsius judged necessary to stave off the most devastating effects of climate change.
U.N. reports released in the last month show time is running out. A warming planet has already intensified droughts and floods, increased crop failures and sea levels could rise to levels that would submerge several small island nations.
The protracted talks frustrated delegates from small islands and African states, who joined a protest by green groups outside as they tried to enter the main negotiating room.
“You need to save us, the islands can’t sink. We have a right to live, you can’t decide our destiny. We will have to be saved,” Maldives climate negotiator Mohamed Aslam said.

Philp, can you be more specific? What was the document? What was the hoax? What, specifically, did the BBC admit? Any links?
So you all think the word ‘invite’ actually means ‘demand’ – wow, I knew there were some differences between American and British English but I’d missed that one.
To Philip Foster
Re he fake document. The doc cited above is posted by the UNFCC at
http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2011/awglca14/eng/crp39.pdf
Considering what Oh!Bummer! spent (sorry, Wasted) in ONE year, he should have no probs whatsoever shelling out 1.6 Trillion.
Surely if there is a financial crisis and countries are seeing many of their workers being laid off does anyone know how many UN bureaucrats/politicians/advisors/lobbyists will be ‘let go’?
Just heard a pin drop so I take it that’s NONE then?
It’s never been about the climate.
It’s always been about us uppity peasants having a life style too similar to that of our “betters”. What’s the point of having a mansion and a house by the shore, if us peasants can have the same thing, albeit on a smaller scale … central heating, electricity 24/7 on demand, flat screen TV’s, cell phones, iPads. Heck, us peasants have even destroyed that special province of the elite … air travel … till it’s as bad as traveling by Greyhound bus. And don’t even start on National Parks with all those swarms of peasants ruining the splendor of Nature at her finest.
Grant Foster (who is often masquerading as Tamino ) statistician and a pretend climate scientist published a paper
http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/6/4/044022/pdf/1748-9326_6_4_044022.pdf
in time for Durban. His graph (Fig.5, page 3) is rubbish, and the paper absolute nonsense.
Vuk – care to elaborate on why its rubbish?
This “fake document” is interesting. The BBC underscores how obviously fake it was which makes me believe it may be real. Does anyone know more?
I failed to properly address the concern over islands sinking. The Messiah only has control over rising sea levels, not sinking land.
I agree that they have a right to live and we can’t decide their destiny, but neither can they decide our destiny and their destiny is their responsibility as is our destiny our responsibility.
That they have to be saved is a dependency welcomed by the omnipotent Messiah of the United States.
How many US$ trillions do you need. Its only printed paper.
