Achim should get a real job. If he can't get into the $trillion league of OPM, he's too amateurish: <OSLO (Reuters) - Investments of $750 billion could create a "Green New Deal" to revive the world economy and protect the environment, perhaps aided by a tax on oil, the head of the U.N. environment agency said on Thursday. Achim Steiner said spending should focus on five environmental sectors including improved energy efficiency for buildings and solar or wind power to create jobs, curb poverty and fight climate change.> Obama is into the $trillions. Big Ben got there in one big jump last week. I got into the $quadrillions in January and claim to be first: <What comes after trillion? 6 billion people at $1 million each is $6,000,000,000,000,000 which is six thousand trillion dollars. That's $6 QUADRILLION. I claim to be the first to get into the $quadrillions in the bidding in the financial crisis. People talking in $trillions are so last year. > Message 25367921 It's like a global mass hysteria among everyone with pretensions to political importance to bid into umpty$billions to show just what a big deal they are. Achim is a day late and a dollar short. Also, he should use the words sustainable and sustainability liberally. <The UNEP report said investments of one percent of global gross domestic product, or about $750 billion, could bankroll a "Global Green New Deal" inspired by the "New Deal" of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt that helped end the depression of the 1930s. > No it didn't help end the Great Depression. A better idea would be to shut UNEP and tell them all to get real jobs. They might find work in the insulation or windmill industries they love so much. Mqurice
