Thumbs down The price tag for the War Against "Global Warming" : $45 Trillion
$45 trillion needed to combat warming - Yahoo! News

Quote:
OKYO - The world needs to invest $45 trillion in energy in coming decades, build some 1,400 nuclear power plants and vastly expand wind power in order to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, according to an energy study released Friday.



The report by the Paris-based International Energy Agency envisions a "energy revolution" that would greatly reduce the world's dependence on fossil fuels while maintaining steady economic growth.
"Meeting this target of 50 percent cut in emissions represents a formidable challenge, and we would require immediate policy action and technological transition on an unprecedented scale," IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka said.
A U.N.-network of scientists concluded last year that emissions have to be cut by at least half by 2050 to avoid an increase in world temperatures of between 3.6 and 4.2 degrees above pre-18th century levels.
Scientists say temperature increases beyond that could trigger devastating effects, such as widespread loss of species, famines and droughts, and swamping of heavily populated coastal areas by rising oceans.
Environment ministers from the Group of Eight industrialized countries and Russia backed the 50 percent target in a meeting in Japan last month and called for it to be officially endorsed at the G-8 summit in July.
and get who gets to pay for it....YOU AND ME!

last time i checked, nature always had one up on humans and always will. Nature cannot be contained.

I like nuke power for its own sake, not because some greenies think we need to DO SOMETHING BEFORE WE KILL THE PLANET!! AAARRGGHHHH!!

Besides, we have to generate the power for all our new electric cars somehow.

the left is very anti-war, but when it comes to waging war against the most powerful forces on earth, they are gung ho about it.

How much have we spent on the "War on Poverty" and we're still loosing?

I think the number is somewhere north of $6 trillion since LBJ's "Great Society" and the "War on Poverty." Feel like you got your money's worth? Me either.
