BANGKOK (Reuters) - Developing countries and environmental groups accused the World Bank on Friday of trying to seize control of the billions of dollars of aid that will be used to tackle climate change in the next four decades.

"The World Bank's foray into climate change has gone down like a lead balloon," Friends of the Earth campaigner Tom Picken said at the end of a major climate change conference in the Thai capital.

"Many countries and civil society have expressed outrage at the World Bank's attempted hijacking of real efforts to fund climate change efforts," he said.

Before they agree to any sort of restrictions on emissions of the greenhouse gases fuelling global warming, poor countries want firm commitments of billions of dollars in aid from their rich counterparts.

Most liberals work in the nonprofit sector thus this must be the METHOD of collecting funds for nation building in third world countries.

I was listening to a fellow describe his idea that his company (Fortune 100 firm) could lobby for global warming legislation then produce products to take advantage of that. Ayn Rand is rolling over in her grave at this global warming scam.

It’s all bogus. The UN - Global warming - the 90% with AIDS - shake-downs. The corrupt taking from the caring. The foolish caring citizens of the United States.
