Old divisions between rich and poor over money and ambition are again threatening to limit progress in UN climate negotiations.

Discussions between negotiators from nearly 200 countries have resumed in Germany, aiming to flesh out the rules on the Paris climate pact.

But developing countries say they are "frustrated" with the lack of leadership from the developed world.

Commitments to cut carbon are still "woefully inadequate" they said.

The developing nations are incensed that enthusiasm for the $100bn per year in climate finance support from the rich, due to start in 2020, has started to wane.

"It has been frustrating to hear some developed countries celebrate their climate leadership even as they fall well short of the modest commitments they have made over the years," said Thoriq Ibrahim, environment minister for the Maldives

So who, Mr. Ibrahim, do you think subsidized the development of "developed" countries?

Quit holding your hand out and fill it with a shovel, or welder, or pickaxe, or trowel, or, or, or...

It was just a question of time.

When it was no longer talk and got to action — nothing.

Trump again was right.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

The Yurps and others were counting on Uncle Sugar to hand over most of that money. When Trump rightfully told them to get bent and laughed in their faces, suddenly they weren’t too keen on forking over large amounts of THEIR money. Imagine that.

Didn’t you get the memo about how the ‘developed’ countries were subsidized by their theft of third world wealth?

They reveal this has nothing to do with climate and everything to do with redistribution of wealth.

Old divisions between rich and poor...

So the writer is trying to divert attention form the truth that the globalists are behind this power grab.

All this money they want to force from their citizens, isn’t going to change the weather, obviously. Gee, I wonder who will be getting it and using it.
