The only possible lesson is that agreements to reduce carbon emissions are costly, politically arduous and ultimately ineffective.
But this is a lesson many are hell-bent on ignoring, as politicians plan to gather again
Some economic models find that target impossible to reach without drastic action, like cutting the world population by a third. Other models show that achieving the target by a high CO2 tax would reduce world GDP a staggering 12.9% in 2100—the equivalent of $40 trillion a year.
A high carbon tax will simply hurt growth if alternative technology is not ready, making us all worse off.
so to get the job done we must take drastic actions.. like cutting a third of the world population... and spending 40 trillion a year...
I guess if you can afford your share of the 40 trillion.. you get to stay.. otherwise.. well sorry,... but termination papers are being sent out ,...
as for me.. I am against killing a third of our population, so I'm looking forward to a great tan and alot more jet skiing...
our motto should be adapt and overcome!
