EU's Climate Change Spending Grossly Exaggerated

Climate alarmists claim 
they can predict the future 
climate, even though they
have failed for the past 
50 years.

They claim their computer 
models are their proof, 
even though their computer
games only predict what 
their owners want predicted.

They claim the climate 
in the mid-1700s 
was perfect, claiming
any change from then 
is bad news.

Many claim a coming climate
crisis, and a few say
in 12 years it will be too late 
to stop it !

Some claim climate change 
is an "existential" crisis.

What do these beliefs 
have in common ?

They are all lies.

Humans have no ability 
to predict the future climate,
and future warming would be 
good news, not bad news.

Higher CO2 levels promote
faster plant growth
... and faster plant growth 
will support more life 
on our planet.


So, after all the climate
lies and  exaggerations, 
it is no surprise that 
the European Union
grossly exaggerates their
actual spending related
to CO2 emissions too.

The European 
Court of Auditors 
is upset about the 
European Commission's 
overblown claims 
about its environmental
 program spending.

The auditors looked at 
agricultural policies and 
structural funds.

They concluded 
the proportion of funds 
earmarked for climate 
change is comically 
exaggerated. 

The worst offender
 is agriculture
programs.

The EU plan had been 
to reserve half 
of the €100bn 
spent on agriculture 
for climate protection. 

The Commission counts 
subsistence payments 
to farmers 
as climate spending, 
if the farmers
fulfill some nominal 
climate standards,
which almost 
every farmer does.

For the 
spending 
programs, 
the EU uses 
an old-fashioned 
rounding trick. 

OECD recommended 
a simplified category,
where governments 
count the 
climate-protection 
share of spending 
on any program, 
in steps of 0, 40%
 or 100%. 

The Commission 
rounds spending 
up to the next level.

1% rounds up to 40% !

41% rounds up to 100% !

That is very dishonest .

Just like the rest of the 
coming climate crisis --
coming in 100 years 
they told us in 1970, 
also coming in 100
years in 1990, coming
in 100 years in 2010,
... and now coming in 
12 years, because
people were tired of 
hearing "100 years" !
