Jeese, so I guess we'll be paying our pro rata share of that. Well, of course they will. They’ve demonstrated over and over again that they are our moral and intellectual superiors. Who better to control the next industrial revolution?

Even U.N. Admits That Going Green Will Cost $76 Trillion

wo years ago, U.N. researchers were claiming that it would cost “as much as $600 billion a year over the next decade” to go green. Now, a new U.N. report has more than tripled that number to $1.9 trillion per year for 40 years.

So let’s do the math: That works out to a grand total of $76 trillion, over 40 years — or more than five times the entire Gross Domestic Product of the United States ($14.66 trillion a year). It’s all part of a “technological overhaul” “on the scale of the first industrial revolution” called for in the annual report. Except that the U.N. will apparently control this next industrial revolution.
