Climate makes money move in mysterious ways

In all the coverage lately given to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and its embattled chairman, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, one rather important part of the story has largely been missed. This is the way in which, in its obsession with climate change, different branches of the UK Government have in recent years been pouring hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers' money into a bewildering array of "climate-related" projects, often throwing a veil...

--snip--

Then why should DfID have paid £30 million to assist "climate change adaptation in Africa"; or £2.5 million for the same in China? Why in 2002 should UK taxpayers have given £200,000 to pay for delegates from developing nations to attend a "Rio Earth Summit" conference in Johannesburg, and another £120,000 for green activists to attend the same shindig – let alone £10,000 for a "workshop on women as 'sacred custodians' of the Earth", to "explore the spiritual, religious and philosophical views concerning women and ecology and the policy implications of these belief systems"?

Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs publishes an interesting note on the Money Laundering Regulations. This lists 26 "suspicious indications" which should attract attention to the possibility that a financial transaction might need investigating. These range from "checking identity is proving difficult" or "reluctance to provide information requested" to "unnecessary routing of funds through third parties" and "transactions having no purpose" or "which seem to involve unnecessary complexity". Any such "suspicious indications", we are told, should prompt the filling in of a "101 form" to report dubious financial dealings to the authorities. But a good many of them would seem to apply only too neatly to the veil of obscurity our Government draws over the astronomical sums it is paying out in support of its religious belief in "climate change"...

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Talisker]

The climate change investment hustlers are the ones who should be really sniffed out... Gore didn’t make his millions all alone... these are the bastards who rolled in the green money to buy out the political infrastructure, to make even more green money... and hey, all they had to do was try to burn down Western Civilization... carbon credit indulgences from a fat-faced idiot GorePope. In the future, people aren’t going to believe this mega-scam actually almost worked.

[Tennessean4Bush]

The writer is onto something with comparing this to suspicious financial transactions.

Thanks for thanks. You find lots of good stuff. I was thinking about trying to tie together business organizations through the state websites which list business entities in each state. Arduous job as I see it but ultimately would link fronts and organizations. Need database.
