Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen addressed the UN Climate Change summit in Glasgow, Scotland Wednesday when she claimed the world may need to spend anywhere from $100 to $150 trillion to combat the negative effects of global warming over the next 30 years.
“Rising to this challenge will require the wholesale transformation of our carbon-intensive economies,” Yellen said during her speech. “It’s a global transition for which we have an estimated price tag: some have put the global figure between $100 and $150 trillion over the next three decades.”

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen suggested that the world might need to devote $100-150 trillion to fight climate change. The number is more than the entire world’s annual GDP.https://t.co/qSvIPY7E5b

Yellen: "As big as the public sector effort is across all our countries, the $100-trillion plus price tag to address climate change globally is far bigger
"The gap between what governments have and what the world needs is large, and the private sector needs to play a bigger role

“Questions remain, however: Will enough investment opportunities materialize to absorb all this capital? How quickly can this reorientation occur? And how can institutions transparently report on their commitments so we can hold each other to account on transition plans?” Yellen stated.

IT WASN'T ME! Schumer Says Decision to Kick-Out National Guard Didn’t Come from ‘On High’
UPDATE***
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer deflected growing criticism Friday after thousands of National Guard members were booted from the US Capitol; saying the decision did not come from “high” places and would not happen again.
“No one from anyone on high, but a few people said they had to leave. No one understood why. But it’s gone. And they all had a nice place to stay… What happened was an outrage and it will not happen again,” said Schumer.
“Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer—why are American troops who are tasked with keeping security at the Capitol being forced to sleep in a parking lot? They deserve to be treated with respect, and we deserve answers,” posted Kevin McCarthy on Twitter.

Like many other Members of Congress, I will make sure we get to the bottom of how our National Guard soldiers were relegated to the parking garage. Those who made this decision need to be held accountable.
