An UN-constrained bureaucracy

The UN Climate Change Conference is happening now December 2 – 13, 2019 in Spain. https://unfccc.int/cop25

The UN uncontrolled bureacracy is contemplating $250 Billion in new tax revenue from carbon taxes, $40 Billion from currency transaction taxes, an additional $15 Billion to $75 Billion revenue from taxes on financial transactions, and a $40 Billion to $50 Billion in new tax revenues on international billionaires, among other sources of revenue.

Jerry Pournelle’s iron law of bureaucracy: “In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.”
