Time to MoveOn to the next “we’re all gonna die/give us money” scam:
The economic case for global action to stop the destruction of the natural world is even more powerful than the argument for tackling climate change, a major report for the United Nations will declare this summer.
The Stern report on climate change, which was prepared for the UK Treasury and published in 2007, famously claimed that the cost of limiting climate change would be around 1%-2% of annual global wealth, but the longer-term economic benefits would be 5-20 times that figure.
The UN’s biodiversity report – dubbed the Stern for Nature – is expected to say that the value of saving “natural goods and services”, such as pollination, medicines, fertile soils, clean air and water, will be even higher – between 10 and 100 times the cost of saving the habitats and species which provide them.
Par for the course with environmentalism – but I thought we wouldn’t see it for a couple decades. Until, that is, global warming simply didn’t happen. No one counted on the beans being spilled and the resultant collapse of the anthropogenic global warming scam.
But, a scam is needed – lots of people gain power and wealth over environmental alarmism, so a replacement was needed. Presto! Biodiversity is the new thing – watch as this becomes a “crisis” and calls rise for massive amounts of spending to fix the problem.
