    Greenies are Hilarious!

    From the article:

    “The policies would create 9 million jobs across a variety of energy-intensive sectors and push global GDP 3.5% higher by 2023 than it would otherwise have been, according to a joint IEA-International Monetary Fund analysis.

    To achieve these results, however, authors of the report say it would require global investment of about $1 trillion annually over the next three years.”

    So, let’s do the numbers. $3 trillion dollars divided by 9 million jobs means each job would be paid an average of $111,111. per year! AWESOME!

    Now, all we have to do is convince taxpayers to come up with $3 trillion dollars to pay for this economic miracle. (I wonder why the “journalist” who wrote this article didn’t do the math himself. Hmmmmmm.)

      It’s adorable that anything that even mentions the word “Green” you have to try and criticize. As if anyone cares about your biased opinion on the matter.

      I like how you just magically turned 1 trillion into 3 trillion, but that’s not how math works.

      Additionally, it would be super easy if we just TAX THE RICH. As stated numerous times, the richest americans are the ones benefiting from destroying the planet. We tax the rich, we can go green easily. It’s just those pesky republican shills that refuse to admit that taxing the richest americans solves most problems.

      Thankfully, younger generations aren’t as dim-witted!

        You are good for at least one laugh a day.

        “. . . younger generations aren’t as dim-witted!” “just magically turned 1 trillion into 3 trillion”.

        Mr. Not Dim-witted: the article mentions it is a 3 year calculation. 3 times 1 is how much?

        Hilarious.

          It’s called a mistake, I can admit that. I’m so used to every other thing out of your mouth being a lie or twist of words that I expected one where it wasn’t. What a rarity.

          My answer still holds. Tax the wealthy.
