Considering how all that French B.O. probably caused Global Warming, France should pay for any and all natural disasters....through the nose. ;)

Considering that France started with a pledge of little over $100,000, somehow, doubling that is not really impressive, especially since France is the world's FIFTH largest economy.

Froggies can publicly pledge what they want. I don't trust them to ever follow through more than 50%
