Bjørn “Skeptical Environmentalist” Lomborg has been doing the math on global warming – and it’s worse than we thought.
Even if every nation in the world adheres to its climate change commitments by 2030 the only difference it will make to “global warming” by the end of this century will be to reduce the world’s temperatures by 0.048°C (0.086°F).
That’s 1/20th of a degree C.
Let’s put this into perspective.
Earlier this year, Climate Change Business Journal calculated that the annual cost of the global warming industry is $1.5 trillion.
If you want to know what that looks like in numerals it is:
$1,500,000,000,000
And if you want a better idea of how it looks conceptually, I highly recommend this infographic visualisation.
To put it another way, even if you’d spent $1 million a day every day since the birth of Jesus, you’d still be less than half the way to reaching $1.5 trillion.
Or, to put it still another way, $1.5 trillion is the same amount we spend annually buying stuff we want and need via online shopping.
The Occupy crowd invite us to feel bitter and angry and cheated by the $700 billion it cost to bail out the US banks after the 2008 crash – and perhaps they’re right. But at least that was just a one-off payment. With the climate change industry we’re talking more than twice that amount being wasted every single year.
Well, I say “wasted”. Obviously if you belong to one of the categories below – which, of course, a lot of Occupy sympathizers do, when they’re taking time off from their day jobs rioting, soap-shunning and plaiting their armpit hair – then you might feel differently.
Carbon traders; dodgy academics; vulture capitalists pecking on the bloated carcass of renewable energy; environmental NGOs; environmental consultancies who specialise in giving “expert” testimony at planning appeals, arguing on the most spurious grounds that no the bats and birds in this area aren’t going to be affected by this new wind turbine they’re going to be happier than ever no really; sustainability officers at every level of local government; advisers attached to every business who advise them how to reduce their CO2 count; PR companies that specialise in green awareness; dog-on-a-rope wind turbine scamsters; environmental lawyers. more

Let's get to the important stuff.
Do they really plait their armpit hair?
Probably. Take a look around next time you go out. All those girliemen and weirdos and manchildren? They worship their own butt, dream of having their dicks chopped off, I´m sure they spend hours on the armpit hair.
