 The Economics of Global WarmingPosted on Oct 29, 2006
A new report warns that climate change left unchecked would cause the global economy to lose 20% of its value, while acting to address the problem would only cost 1% of global GDP. Sir Nicholas Stern’s report is the first major attempt to address the economics, as opposed to the science, of global warming.

The United States Department of Defense is by far the biggest user of energy on the planet, in 2004 84 tera-watts of electricity and millions of barrels of oil. Until this makes the press, the claims of global warming will just be claims. Try as I might, I can’t find mpg of an F-14 in global warming studies: this is an illustration of the bogus aspect to the claim. I challenge the BBC to report the pollution and heat generated by a “Daisy Bomb”.

It seems now is the time to present this evaluation to the United Nations to formulate a plan for the world’s nations to act together to solve this problem. Thanks, James Belmares
