UN: Save species, and send money
The UN has found something it thinks is more important than global warming, biodiversity.
Don’t worry, the UN hasn’t given up on running the world, the biodiversity initiative chases the same dream nightmare:
The report will advocate massive changes to the way the global economy is run so that it factors in the value of the natural world. In future, it says, communities should be paid for conserving nature rather than using it; companies given stricter limits on what they can take from the environment and fined or taxed more to limit over-exploitation; subsidies worth more than US$1tn (£696.5bn) a year for industries like agriculture, fisheries, energy and transport reformed; and businesses and national governments asked to publish accounts for their use of natural and human capital alongside their financial results.
And the potential economic benefits are huge. Setting up and running a comprehensive network of protected areas would cost $45bn a year globally, according to one estimate, but the benefits of preserving the species richness within these zones would be worth $4-5tn a year.
Meet the new scam, same as the old scam.
While the UN seeks the suckers that will provide $45 billion per year, the UK found that saving biodiversity isn’t an easy thing to do.

They never give up, do they. Always ends the same — Send money.

This is hilarious. Watching the IPCC go down the drain, having unsuccessfully tried Global Warming and Ocean Acidification, are now putting on the conservationist cloak of preservation of species and natural habitat.
This after the feckless and hideously expensive attempt to actually implement the glorious Kyoto treaty has utterly destroyed millions upon millions of hectares of habitat and countryside in Europe, the UK, North America, Australia, and New Zealand, while tropical rainforests are being cleared for biofuel and “carbon sink” monocultures.
It would be hilarious if there were not already so much damage. Check out wind-watch.org for more information.
It is long past time for serious people to start fighting to save the environment from the environmentalists.
