The U.S. decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement means Turkey is less inclined to ratify the deal because the U.S. move jeopardizes compensation promised to developing countries, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

Erdogan was speaking at the G20 summit in Germany where leaders from the world's leading economies broke with U.S. President Donald Trump over climate policy, following his announcement last month that he was withdrawing from the accord.

Yep, it's all about US money.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Why join the club if there isn’t going to be any more free money from the USA?

“...compensation promised to developing countries...”

Turkey was founded in 1923...Why do you claim to be a “developing country”???

Boo hoo.

[GonzoII]

Who’s next?? MAGA!!

Compensation = money for military and personal coffers

because the U.S. move jeopardizes compensation promised to developing countries

  Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan admits the only reason for being in the Paris Climate Treaty was to get money from the U.S. and other more wealthy nations. Now that the U.S. has pulled out of the treaty, there’s no reason to expect the financial benefits.

  Proving yet again, for the eleventyth time, that the entire construct of the Paris Climate Treaty had nothing to do with the actual climate (ie. weather), and everything to do with economic wealth distribution.

In the past I've have read literature by modern Greek authors such as Nikos Kazantzakis who have documented what it is like to live under Turkish rule. If you want to know about Turks, ask a Greek or Armenian.

Long before ISIS, Turks were the purveyors of muslim atrocities and pedophilia. Today Turks are no better than they were 100 years ago.

“Compensation”???

WTF? What happened to saving the planet?

Go Trump! Keep those bastards OUT of our pockets.

"U.S. decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement means Turkey is less inclined to ratify the deal because the U.S. move jeopardizes compensation promised to developing countries"

Turkey obviously "gets it". It's funny that none of the nations that have to pay the bill do (except for Trump).

This is why the EU and other climate bullsheeters are so pissed at the US. It has always been about taking wealth from the US and giving it away to crook countries around the world.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

There ya have it! Finally, someone has said it. It’s all about the money! Primarily, U.S. money!

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

This is wonderful news. The Paris Hustle being exposed for the fraud that it is.

[HotHunt]

Gee, this is terrible news. So sad. /s/

The expected trillions of dollars that were to come from the US taxpayers out of this Paris deal, has now dried up and the players are having second thoughts.

Couldn't have happen to a worse group of people....climate change scammers.

[SubMareener]

Not to worry! The Democrat Mayors and Governors have promised to fulfill the US commitment to the climate change agreement!

[txrefugee]

If these hypocrites were really concerned about the end of the planet as we know it, why wouldn’t they sacrifice their own economies for that worthy cause? According to the Democrat media, we no longer lead the world….but the rest of the world still wants our money.

[Rurudyne]

What isn’t about a shakedown with these socialists and watermelon greens? Not only should we walk away from Paris but from Kyoto and the whole shebang. Let the whole thing fail.
