Global Warming Fraud Unabated : Warmers Get Rich - The Poor Hardest Hit

This is like beating a dead horse to gain ground on the opposition. Global warmers are not about saving the planet or even the immediate environment, and I have ranted about this on many other occasions, this is only about the money and the power to control out comes.

Why is still an issue? Why do people still believe the 'warmers and the changers' have any illegitimate claim to this nonsense? The proof of their collective misinformation and outright lies are everywhere. All anyone has to do is open their eyes to the facts from history. We are living that history right now.

One of the best examples is how many among the warming community declared we would all die if we didn't spend billions of dollars to stop the seas from rising and our entire country from turning into a dust bowel less then ten years ago? And ten years before that the warmers claimed by now the polar caps would have totally melted? Why is this so hard to understand? They were lying then and they are lying now!

What actually happened is plain as day - all of the claims never came true. Who knew? They know their weather models are hopelessly flawed, but they don't care, as long as they can convince a brain dead public they are at risk, and unless billions more dollars are spent right now to save us all from catastrophe that didn't happen for the last twenty years but now is imminent again, the insanity will go on unabated.

Waste upon more waste! Someone is getting rich but sure isn't the taxpayer.

Global Warming Policies Hurt the Poor

Global warming policies hurt the poor much more than global warming itself, says Bjørn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center. Everyone is paying more for energy (and less reliable energy, at that) because of green energy subsidies, which only push up costs throughout the rest of the economy.

• In 2012, solar and wind power was subsidized to the tune of $60 billion, but the total benefit to the climate was only $1.4 billion, meaning that $58.6 billion was completely wasted.
• An additional $19 billion was spent subsidizing biofuels, with no climate benefit whatsoever.
• From 2020 until the end of the 21st century, the cost of the European Union's climate policy will be $280 billion per year.

Who ultimately feels the burden of these policies? The poor, as the rich can more easily pay for more expensive energy.

• In the United Kingdom, electricity consumption has dropped by almost 10 percent since 2005, thanks to these policies. But energy prices have seen a staggering 50 percent increase because of renewables.
• Additionally, that 10 percent drop in consumption is just an average. The poor have reduced their consumption by much more than 10 percent, whereas the rich have not reduced their consumption at all. It is now 63 percent more expensive to heat a home in the United Kingdom than it was five years ago. At the same time, wages have declined.
• In Germany, the wealthy can install solar panels on their homes and receive generous government subsidies. It is the poor who cannot receive subsidies (because they cannot afford to install solar panels, or may not even own homes), yet they are forced to pay the higher electricity costs.
• In developing nations, where 3 billion people cannot access cheap energy, these green energy policies are even more destructive. 3.5 million people die each year from indoor air pollution, which is caused by burning twigs and dung inside homes to keep warm. Electricity from coal-fired power plants would solve this problem, but Western countries have opposed funding coal power projects, supporting renewables instead. Africa currently gets 50 percent of its energy from renewables.
• China has lifted 680 million out of poverty by using coal power since 1971, when 40 percent of its energy came from renewables. Today, China only gets 0.23 percent of its energy from wind and solar power.

The difference between traditional energy and renewables is stark. Investing in renewables can bring one person out of poverty for a price of $500. But by using gas electricity, more than four people could be lifted from poverty for that same amount.
