COP29 strikes last ditch deal on funding for climate measures in vulnerable countries
SKY News ^ | November 23, 2024 | By Victoria Seabrook

The summit has agreed for richer countries to aim for $300bn in funding per year to support poorer countries dealing with the impact of climate change.

The Chinese have made solar panels dirt cheap and even ‘poor’ nations can afford them.

These ‘poor’ nations are blessed with an abundance of sunshine that ‘rich’ nations like the UK and Germany and ‘rich’ areas like the Northeastern US lack.

‘Poor’ nations will be bathed in golden sunshine long after all existing British, German and Danish wind turbines are junked.

“knowing they could not afford to live without it”

Strange...they got along fine without it for decades.

How much of this $300B is the US committing?
will Biden ask for Senate approval?
If not, won’t Trump simply ignore the agreement?

Uganda…been there.

Wonderful, beautiful, nice people.

Who will work every angle to get a dollar out of your pocket..with a smile on their face. It’s not malice, it’s their culture.
