The U.N.'s $200 trillion global warming scheme
- U.N. admits 1.5°C warming target is 'unavoidable' after burning $9 trillion since 2020 with zero results.
- New ask: $7.8 trillion per year for five years, then $9 trillion annually—totaling a jaw-dropping $228 trillion over 25 years.
- Columnist notes tab exceeds combined cost of WWII, New Deal, Apollo, Manhattan Project, and more—put together.
- Instead of an audit or apology, U.N. demands *more* money, citing failed ambition as a reason to escalate.
- Suggests air conditioning for the world as cheaper alternative—but U.N. shuns AC for 'contributing' to warming.
Brief Summary
The United Nations has finally admitted that its $9 trillion climate spending spree since 2020 has been a spectacular dud—1.5°C temperature limits are now 'unavoidable.' But don't expect a refund or an apology; instead, the global body wants a fresh $228 trillion from taxpayers over the next quarter-century to keep the thermostat fantasy alive. The math is grotesque: $84 trillion in the first decade alone, which dwarfs the combined cost of virtually every major human project ever undertaken, from WWII to the Manhattan Project. The U.N.'s 'solution' is to double down on failure, echoing Milton Friedman's quip about government programs asking for more money precisely because they didn't work. And while the doomsayers have been wrong about nearly every apocalypse since the 1970s, they're still the ones holding the purse strings.
Why This Matters
This is your wallet being picked on a planetary scale. The U.N. isn't just asking for pocket change; it's requesting a sum that would bankrupt every nation on Earth if taken seriously. The sheer audacity—admitting failure, then tripling the bet—should make every taxpayer demand a forensic audit of where the first $9 trillion went. You're not funding a solution; you're funding a bureaucracy that thrives on crisis, not results. Practical alternatives like expanding electricity and air conditioning infrastructure are mocked while grandiose schemes consume trillions. Until voters force accountability for the billions already squandered, the gravy train only gets faster—and heavier on your back.
