Ironies of Build Back Better<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Biden wants free college education, free preschool for kids, and increased child tax credits.<\/p>\n

All of these proposals subsidize the single worst thing we can do for the environment: have kids.<\/p>\n

Kids eat, need medical services, eventually become teenagers and drive cars. And as shocking as this might seem, kids grow up and travel, eventually by airplane.<\/p>\n

Poor Nations Say They Need Trillions From Rich Ones<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday, I commented\u00a0Hello President Biden, Poor Nations Say They Need Trillions From Rich Ones<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s one thing for developed countries like the US to demand a cleaner future, but it’s another thing to attempt to force G7 goals on the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

About Those Climate Change Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Kerry was speechless when he learned\u00a0Poor Nations Need Trillions From Rich Ones\u00a0<\/a>to meet climate change goals.<\/p>\n

At a July global climate gathering in London, South African environment minister Barbara Creecy presented the world\u2019s wealthiest countries with a bill: more than $750 billion annually to pay for poorer nations to shift away from fossil fuels and protect themselves from global warming.<\/p>\n

The number was met with silence from U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry, according to Zaheer Fakir, an adviser to Ms. Creecy. Other Western officials said they weren\u2019t ready to discuss such a huge sum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kids are the single most destructive thing to the environment. Their toys are mostly made of plastic, diapers are throw-away, and as they get older, litter is inevitable.<\/p>\n

A tax on corporations is not the answer. Corporations don’t really pay taxes anyway. Consumers do.<\/p>\n
