$100 Billion Dollars Per Year
by Brett Roberts
Come on, Hillary, we could buy a totally sweet boat with that money.
So… Hillary has volunteered the U.S. to contribute to the $100 billion dollar international yearly pool of donations given to developing countries to fight Climate Change. $100 billion is close to 1% of our entire GDP. When the U.S. says it’s going to “contribute” to anything it’s like Bill Clinton saying he’s going to contribute to history’s Presidential impeachments, or Nancy Pelosi saying she’s going to contribute to the tradition of Senators playing “my word against yours” with the CIA, or a skunk saying it’s going to contribute to the smell of this campsite. I can’t wait to hear what our “contribution” is going to be. $50 billion per year? $70 billion per year? How much of this $100 billion per year is going to be used properly by the governments of these developing countries? $1 billion? Zero billion? How much of it will be used to save the melting polar ice caps on Mars? Oh, that cursed Mars Rover and it’s CO2 emissions. The poor Martian polar bears!
Who better to pay this penalty than the most advanced, industrialized nation in the world? Remember when we thought that was a good thing? Shame on us. If only we could have known this in advance so that we could have just maintained that lower standard of living and life expectancy. No boat for us! It’ll just emit CO2 anyway. In fact, no more lake recreation… period! You know what would be great for Mother Earth? If we all lived in huts. You know what? I think we just might be heading towards that. You know what else? I think that just might be the goal. Oh, and our increasing the world’s life expectancy may be the biggest sin of all. Did you hear that the worst thing for Mother Earth is having children? The sooner we can exit this world the greener and prettier the trees will be.
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from Cop 15 in Copenhagen, it’s that Capitalism is the enemy. We’ll never get to live in huts that way. Look what Capitalism has made out of our young country. We need to be penalized. The thunderous applause for every verbal attack on Capitalism at Cop 15 certainly confirms that. I submit that we should declare a national shame holiday where we whip ourselves.
