NAIROBI, Kenya — The head of the International Monetary Fund on Monday proposed a plan for the world's governments to pool together to raise money needed to adapt to climate change, a rare step for an organization that normally does not develop environmental policies.
IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the Fund is concerned about the huge amount of funding needed and the effect that will have on the global economy. He added that the proposal may help efforts to reach a binding agreement on climate change later this year.
Strauss-Kahn proposed that countries adopt a quota system similar to the one the Fund uses to raise its own money, which could bring in money faster than proposals to increase carbon taxes or other fundraising methods. He only provided a broad outline of the plan, as the organization will release a paper later this week with full details. It is unclear how the proposal will be received.
The IMF raises funds from its 185 members mainly through a quota system that is based broadly on each country's economic size. The United States is currently the largest shareholder.
"We all know that (carbon taxes and other fundraising methods) will take time and we don't have this time. So we need something which looks like an interim solution, which will bridge the gap between now and the time when those carbon taxes will be big enough to solve the problem," Strauss-Kahn said. "And that is exactly what the IMF proposal is dealing with."

This is like compelling a tax to resuscitate the Piltdown Man.
NO.
N-O.
NO!
Another words, the United States pays and third world Dictators get the “pool”
The IMF normally focuses on discredited and failed states; they are expanding their portfolio to include failed and discredited theories.
Well said!
“The United States is currently the largest shareholder”

Their cronies in the turd world are getting nervous they wont be able to continue their payoff schemes that keep them in power.

And yes, it is a swindle- a fraud and a cheat and a scam-- a deliberately designed construct intended to con you out of things you hold dear-- money, and prosperity, and freedom... and a few other things, as well.
Promise?????
We don't have the time since we need to collect the money before the AGW gig is up...
I guess it wasn't PC to put it this way...:^)
Amazing how all the Free Trader Globalists and the Global Warming kooks are using the same groups to try and fund their agendas.
Most of the Global Warming kooks are also Free Trader Globalists. If you cannot reduce US wealth thru Free Trade....they will do it thru Cap and Trade
Maybe they should call it “Cap and Free Trade” since they share the same organizations
