Jennifer Marohasy » Ten Worst Man-Made Disasters

The purpose of this post is to present ten environmental disasters caused by man which have nothing to do with either AGW or western society. These disasters demonstrate that AGW is a distraction from a proper analysis of those incidents where man disrupts PN [a pristine natural template].

The Swiss government has proposed that developed countries with a global levy of $2.00 per ton of carbon dioxide emitted should commit to the insurance, he explained. He added that 60 percent of the fund would be retained by the country taxed, and 40 percent to a Multilateral Adaptation Fund for relief and rehabilitation of affected communities.

“The levy is intended to be both as an incentive and a disincentive to developed countries. As an incentive to shift away from consumption of fuels that emit carbon dioxide, and as a disincentive so they won’t consume more,” Alvarez said.
