I got the link via Suzette Sommer: If your right wing friends are screaming that Global Warming hoax will cause the collapse of our economy, tell them to shove it... A World Bank report shows that just a few key policies aimed at cutting carbon pollution would boost the global economy. The study, called “Climate-Smart Development: Adding Up the Benefits of Actions that Help Build Prosperity, End Poverty and Combat Climate Change,” looks at the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, China, India, plus the European Union: By 2030, the benefits of these three sets of sector policies would include 94,000 premature deaths avoided annually and GDP growth of $1.8 trillion-$2.6 trillion per year. The policies would avoid 8.5 gigatons of CO2-equivalent and almost 16 billion kilowatt-hours of energy saved, roughly equivalent to taking 2 billion cars off the road. Together, these implementing these policies could represent about 30 percent of the total reduction needed in 2030 to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius. Expect to hear the screams of the fascists against the Global Dictatorship trying to take over our Nation. Accusing the United Nations and the World Bank of trying to do what our Fascist extremism and the corporate tycoons are already doing. worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2014/06/23/study-adds-up-benefits-climate-smart-development-lives-jobs-gdp
