Why global climate models do not give a realistic description of the local climate

Will they take an out of town check with no ID ?
A trade off:
We pay 44% of the bill and in return we no longer give out any of the 300-400 billion each year in foreign aid.
Listen to the socialist spin on this one!!
Correct to the headline:
US Taxpayers must pay bulk of climate change bill: Oxfam [The US taxpayer must foot 44 percent of the $50 billion
Not a problem.
Who put Oxfam in charge? I proclaim Oxfam not in charge, but Freepers around the world are now in charge. I demand that China pays the whole bill. And, when this whole hoax is revealed, we can all sit and laugh at China.

Per unit value of productivity, the US is one of the lowest polluters. Impoverished third world hellholes might pollute half of what America pollutes, but they produce a thousandth as much net increase in wealth for that pollution. So they should pay 500 times more than America does (or whatever the ratio actually is).

good ping
Lets tell them to bite the bag, we are busy paying for Mexicans, find themselves some other world rich folks. There are plenty of them, some even in Mexico!
They believe that deposits in numbered Swiss accounts will work even better than Algore buying his "carbon offsets" from his own carbon-offset company.
Global warming doesn't stand a chance against cold American dollars in their pockets.
I like turning arguments around like that too!
The 50 billion is only the camel nose under the tent. It will be used to set up an overpaid bureaucracy that will monitor, pay out, spend, waste ad infinitum, ad nauseum, all of the money that rolls in.
“You and what Army, Oxfam?”
Oxfam America is committed to creating lasting solutions to global poverty, hunger, and social injustice.
"Social injustice" being defined as inequity in the distribution of wealth. In short, yet another tired old socialist wheeze acting under the thin veneer of environmentalism. The "rich" must pay even if it turns out to be, as it is, the "developing" nations that are the worst polluters.
All they want is a cool $22 billion. It's a little vague as to who gets to distribute the payola but I have a hunch there'll be, as there always is under socialism, a generous cut off the top for the administrators. Such as, well, Oxfam.
“China will probably overtake it within a year as it builds a coal-fired power station every four days to feed demand.”
And since the left LOVES Commies of all stripes, it’s obvious to me that their “window of opportunity” to once again HOSE the American Taxpayer is rapidly closing! They’ll NEVER demand from the rest of the people on this planet what they demand of us.
Jerks.
