A report from a couple of sources on a UN document that reads like it’s from outer space:

The United Nations (UN) on Tuesday warned that humanity is coming close to breaching the sustainability of Earth, urging a greater and faster technological revolution to avoid “a major planetary catastrophe.”

The UN’s yearly report titled “The World Economic and Social Survey 2011: The Great Green Technological Transformation,” underlined the importance of scaling up clean energy technologies…”Business as usual is not an option,” the report concluded….

Two years ago, U.N. researchers were claiming that it would cost “as much as $600 billion a year over the next decade” to go green. Now, a new U.N. report has more than tripled that number to $1.9 trillion per year for 40 years…That works out to a grand total of $76 trillion, over 40 years — or more than five times the entire Gross Domestic Product of the United States

It’s been 50 years since the Kanamits appeared at the UN. We thought it was fiction at the time, but maybe the aliens actually took over back then.
