IMF head says world must come to grips with climate change costs

Here's some wealth distribution for ya:

Erosion, rising sea level and melting permafrost is causing many coastal Alaskan villages to sink.

...According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, an estimated 86 percent of indigenous villages in Alaska will need to move within the next 50 years, at a cost of $200 to $500 million per village. Newtok is preparing to move to a new site, across the water to Nelson Island, but a struggle against the village leadership has recently stalled the relocation effort.

That'll rack up a few bucks.

well the educations worthless
the medicine is crap
the government is crooked
the clergy is clueless
the cities are bankrupt
the veterans are treated like toilet paper
the food is expensive junk
the TV is nonsense
the air is foul
the gas expensive
jobs are hard to find and keep
the debt is astronomical
the armies are depleted
the economy is collapsing
the White House is a deviant place of repulsive perversion
the roads are full of holes
the bridges are condemned
the water is poison
oh i see what the world envies in the USA, it must be the F-35

I know what I'm paying for climate change, nothing, and If you don't get off my front steps I'll call the police and they'll shoot your dog in the street.

More scenarios? You do realize that 99% of the hype you buy into is just scenarios?

Alaskas mantle is getting hot, the CO2 has broken through to the magma causing it to swell up from down there.
Now they want money to regulate volcanic eruption, I don't think they'll stop till we pay.

Doesn't look like a sceanario to me.

According to the US Army Corps of Engineers, the cost for one village of 400 residents, Kivalina, will cost between $150M and $250M, depending on the relocation site selected.

This site has the documents detailing cost estimates.

Gather the very best economists all over the world
Draft the equitable tax system applicable to all the countries
Pool the tax revenue to offset the pollution we made.

Interesting.

Can you expand what you think would be the impact of implementing this suggestion?

Immediate end of global warming to start with. Third worlders are looking to collect money, not pay in. They will have to come up with a different wealth redistribution scam.

We're spewing far too much carbon into the atmosphere.
