A must read!"Let’s do follow the climate money!", by Paul Driessen, December 30, 2018
Quotes:
* Federal funding for climate change research, technology, international assistance, and adaptation has increased from $2.4 billion in 1993 to $11.6 billion in 2014, with an additional $26.1 billion for climate change programs and activities provided by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
* The Feds spent an estimated $150 billion on climate change and green energy subsidies during President Obama’s first term.
* That didn’t include the 30% tax credits/subsidies for wind and solar power: $8 billion to $10 billion a year – plus billions more from state programs that require utilities to buy expensive “green” energy.
* Worldwide, according to the “progressive” Climate Policy Initiative, climate change “investment” in 2013 totaled $359 billion – but this “falls far short” of the $5 trillion per year that’s actually needed.
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change echoes those greedy demands. It says the world must spend $2.4 trillion per year for the next 17 years to subsidize the transition to renewable energy.
Bear in mind that $1.5 trillion per year was already being spent in 2014 on Climate Crisis, Inc. research, consulting, carbon trading and renewable projects, according to the Climate Change Business Journal. With 6-8% annual growth, we’re easily looking at a $2-trillion-per-year climate industry by now.

For $150 billion I could have built a fleet of single stage to orbit reusable spacecraft and a solar power satellite system that used no carbon at all. Not that I'm necessarily for space based solar but if we're going to throw away money we might as well get something for it.
I also could probably throw in fertilizing the Oceans and produced a massive bumper crop of fish with the deal.
I'm not sure what they could actually do with that much money. Maybe they're just stealing it all and telling us they spent it on research.
