Climate-aid pledges by industrialized nations are worthless, says the leader of the Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago threatened by rising sea levels.
Promises made at COP26, the United Nations climate change conference in November, have not been met, said President Wavel Ramkalawan, adding that he expects nothing better at this year's event.
"I am totally disappointed. The big promises, the commitments and everything else, not one cent has come through," the leader said in an interview from his office in Victoria, the capital, on Thursday. This year "my expectations are not that high, but we have to go through the motions I guess," he said.
Wealthy countries agreed at the summit in Glascow to double the funding they give to poor nations to cope with climate change, without giving a specific figure. This year's COP27 will be in Egypt and is expected to focus on Africa's needs. A pledge made years ago to give $100 billion in funding annually wasn't met.

“I am totally disappointed not one cent has come through.”
Better scare up Scoldilox to set ‘em straight
Tourism dollars not enough so must turn to climate grift.
It’s all just a big scam for wealth redistribution.
Those who view themselves as the beneficiaries are impatient for their cut.
In other words, cash-strapped, tourist-dependent Seychelles wants a few whacks at the Piñata filled of the United States Treasury.
How much has the sea level risen in the Islands since 1960? I’m waiting.
The author is an environmentalist who documents the lies of the left.
He is no conservative and still believes in man-made global warming, but is critical of the lies told to further an agenda.
“Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago threatened by rising sea levels.”
Trump would say something like “As soon as there is documented proof the sea level has risen a few inches, we’ll help you guys. NOT A BRASS FARTHING TILL THEN!”, knowing that day will never come.
the Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago threatened by rising sea levels.
Great - then maybe the USN can stop polluting mother earf by discontinuing anti-piracy patrols off the coast of Seychelles, and can stop using Seychelles as a port of call so our dirty ships won’t pollute anywhere near the island.
One particularly rainy July, it rose almost 1/32’th of an inch
Lol. What are they going to do? Dike the Pacific Ocean? Import enough soil to raise the islands by a foot? It going to take a lot of soil and a lot of ships. And shovels. Better get started. I hear there is a fire sale on Russian Oligarch Yachts. That’s where to money would go anyhow.
Not one cent would go to any GW project. Not one.
When I see Seychelles, I think money laundering.
The foremost authority on world wide sea levels says the level has gone up in inch since something like 1905. Oldtimers know that to be true. They tell of how some rock or cement pier that the high tide would just cover when they were a boy 90 years ago, today just gets covered, effectively no change. This guy’s article was posted here a few years ago. Dont remember the name.

"Global mean sea level has risen approximately 210-240 millimeters (mm) since 1880. ... Currently, the annual rise is approximately 3mm per year."

Call me when the water is up to your ankles.
This wasn’t the article I remember but is a good one.

PACIFIC SEA LEVELS RISING VERY SLOWLY AND NOT ACCELERATING
Abstract: Over the past decades, detailed surveys of the Pacific Ocean atoll islands show no sign of drowning because of accelerated sea-level rise. Data reveal that no atoll lost land area, 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, and only 11.4% of islands contracted. The Pacific Atolls are not being inundated because the sea level is rising much less than was thought. The average relative rate of rise and acceleration of the 29 long-term-trend (LTT) tide gauges of Japan, Oceania and West Coast of North America, are both negative, −0.02139 mm yr−1 and −0.00007 mm yr−2 respectively. Since the start of the 1900s, the sea levels of the Pacific Ocean have been remarkably stable.
We should tell this grifter the data suggests the sea levels has lowered on many atolls and that he may owe us money. lol
You pay for it Rammdammadingdong.
