Hey, I have an idea. Let’s borrow money from China so we can give China money to mitigate “climate change!” We don’t care if China actually uses the money the right way, or if these boondoggles will affect global temperatures. We just want to be able to claim that they are on board for “greenhouse gas reduction targets” so we can get those troublemakers in the senate to pass crap and trade, and ratify a treaty to give even more money away while we doom US industry.

I could tell them that would kill the Golden Goose, but they think the govt. will buy them another goose.

And the overseers of the UN fund will totally supervise the use of said fund, ensuring that all of the money ending up in the hands of the third world victims of our prosperity will actually be spent on remediation efforts.

Right? Right?

Climate change cash 'unaccounted for'

With this gem of a quote:

Artur Runge-Metzger, the senior climate change negotiator for the European Union, said the EU had done what it promised to do.

“We can say we met the promise, climate finance has really been stepped up,” he told the BBC.

But he admitted the EU was unable to provide data to show it did pay the money.

“It’s sometimes very hard to say what is the climate bit of this financing,” Mr Runge-Metzger added.
