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.“The opportunity must not be lost,” Steiner, head of the U.N. Environment Program (UNEP), told Reuters of a UNEP study that will be put to world leaders meeting in London on April 2 to work out how to spur the ailing economy.
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.
Investments should be split between more energy efficient buildings, renewable energies, better transport, improved agriculture and measures to safeguard nature — such as fresh water, forests or coral reefs, it said.

More like jump start, a bottom up world revolution. Come on, you yuppie pukes, bring your shackles, you still have to get close enough to put them on us. This is America not Europe. You might have built the infrastructure and sat around and crunched your numbers, but humans are the long shot. We are the X factor, and they know it. The human spirit doesn’t fit into a flow chart or equation, pal. We will overcome!
Bring it!

This week the NWO made the politicians of a small east European country a deal they could not refuse:
1. since the milk industry was not profitable, and was adding to global warming via bovine flatulence
the solution was to ship all the dairy cows to Greece.
2. this rewarded Greece with the jobs of a new industry.
3. this prevented the subject east European government from suffering serious financial penalty and sanctions via the EU for GLOBAL WARMING code violations, and
4. made the subject east European government eligible for CO2 credit payments from USA as a trade swap made legal because the subject country has so many trees…
It all took place this week with the ministers pocketing their money and SIXTY THOUSAND dairy cows being shipped to Greece.
