This is a Proposed Plan B for financing the global climate crisis and the rapid transition to a clean energy economy. The existing funding mechanisms are woefully insufficient to meet the 1.5°C goal or 2°C limit. The goal of having $100 million/yr. by 2020 for the Green Climate Fund is wildly unrealistic, especially given US political developments and the unintended effects of Brexit. Moreover, the IPCC has underestimated the rate of climate change and relied on far more extensive development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) than is currently possible or incentivized to meet the 2°C limit. The stark reality is we simply lack financing at the scale needed to decarbonize both developing and developed economies, in the time frames needed. In short, we need a "Big Bold Idea' that is much larger in size, that facilitates all stakeholders, including developing and developed nations, to decarbonize economies rapidly, and incentivize CCS to unleash rapid innovation. Finally, the Fund addresses the interests of companies that find themselves with enormous stranded assets - fossil fuels. The plan incentivizes them to lead the development of CCS implementation from existing technologies used by coal, oil & gas plants to the progression of net-negative CCS (including BECCS and newer breakthrough technologies). The Adam Smith Plan elegantly produces a Global Climate Fund of roughly $6.7 Trillion USD/year. The International Energy Association has projected $1.1 Trillion per year required for investments in the energy sector alone to meet the 2°C goal. Adam's Smith described an "invisible hand" that could serve all interests even as people pursue their own self-interest. That is quite different than the existing paradigm which requires financial "sacrifice" by nations to help solve the global crisis; effectively a zero-sum game. The Plan utilizes a global funding mechanism to benefit nations, not only to reduce emissions but to deliver an economic shot in the arm to whole new industries and new jobs, while actually reducing risks to global financial institutions and investors from large Institutional investors (Insurers and Pensions), to Portfolio and Fund managers, to ordinary investors. It's an offshoot of the Tobin Tax, a .05% tax on the estimated $5.30 Trillion/day of currency exchanges (FX), that yields a $6.7 Trillion Annual fund that can save the Climate, grow global growth and stabilize Markets. A single private bank in London now closes FX of 18 currencies at the same time across all time zones. The bank is owned by 69 Member Banks and as such, we can avoid the perpetual obstacle of political resistance. Imposing a minuscule tax on the trade of the wealthiest on the earth, currency traders, which amounts to rounding errors for them, can finance the entire global transition to clean energy economies, with minimal administration of collection efforts, essentially acting as Adam’s Smith’s “Invisible Hand".]]>
