That sucking sound you hear is the government pulling the money from your pocket to fund another international association set up to transfer wealth from Americans to corrupt politicians.
I do have to hand it to these corrupt idiots they are definitely not pikers. The IEA asking for $36 Trillion to solve a problem that does not exist is really ballsy. Just what do these quasi-scientists think they are going to do with this money besides becoming extremely rich.
