LOL: Every Dollar Spent On Climate (scam) Action Can Generate $15

This reminds of the Democrat scam about getting $3 in the economy for every $1 in federal money spent

Coordinated action on clean air and climate change can net $15 for every dollar spent

The assessment by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) shows how coordinated action can improve public health, strengthen economies and accelerate progress on climate goals through 25 proven measures and policy reforms.

These include using renewable energy, electric vehicles and clean fuel sources for cooking.

It comes as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) also underlined the importance of coordinated action as increased pollution from wildfires and heatwaves threatens to undermine global efforts to improve air quality,

The report finds that combining efforts produces higher returns than addressing climate change and air pollution separately, because many of the same sectors and pollutants drive both crises.

“For too long, we have treated climate action as a cost to be managed and air pollution as the unfortunate outcome of development,” said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP.

“This report shows the opposite: clean air is a key driver of development, health, food and energy security, and climate stability – an asset we must invest in.” (snip)

The report estimates that annual benefits from implementing the 25 measures would be equivalent to 2.8 per cent of global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2035, 4.5 per cent in 2050 and 11.4 per cent in 2100.

But, see, this is assuming that governments are taxing and fee-ing the heck out of citizens, and then spending it or giving it to the UN. No mention of what percent disappears into the pockets of bureaucrats, politicians, NGOs, etc.

The climate benefits would be substantial. Compared with the report’s baseline scenario, immediate implementation would halve global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, reduce methane emissions by 60 per cent and cut major air pollutants, including black carbon, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, by around 70 per cent.

The measures would avoid approximately 0.34°C of global warming by 2050 and 1.4°C by the year 2100.

The challenge now is implementation. The report identifies fragmented decision-making, limited enforcement capacity and weak government coordination as major barriers that could delay full action by almost eight years globally.

All these years later and they still want tons of action, but, they aren’t willing to make changes in their own lives.
