COPENHAGEN -- The $10 billion a year proposed by rich nations to help the poor adapt to climate change is "not sufficient" and the gap between what's offered and what's needed could wreck the Copenhagen climate conference, American billionaire George Soros said Thursday.
The investor-philanthropist, one in a line of international notables visiting the 192-nation meeting, told reporters he had developed a partial solution. Mr. Soros suggested shifting some International Monetary Fund resources from providing liquidity to stressed global financial systems to a new mission of financing projects in developing countries for clean energy and adapting to climate change.

Why doesn’t this slob donate his wealth to this, if it’s so damn important. Other Peoples Money is easier to get when you have the puppets in Congress and the President in your hip pocket.

Men like Soros and Bloomberg with a lot of money to throw around are DANGEROUS to freedom. They are the real enemy, not the man in the Romney Truth File.

What makes these meatheads think that any huge amount of money will make a difference?...even if it were true that global warming was a real threat to our survival?
It’s all junk science and rank speculation anyway.

This is all about power and wealth confiscation/redistribution. "Climate change" is just the wrapper...

Not enough because he plans to somehow get his hands on the billions transferred to poor countries.
Follow the money and you'll find Soros at the end of the trail.

I guess you have to at some level admire perseverance. George is still trying to get as many into the showers and the ovens as possible and has been since he was a teenage Kapo in the 40’s. Of course now he has the added incentive of making billions for himself manipulating the “Carbon Cap and Trade” business. That is, unless and until someone finally decides to put a different kind of cap in Mr. Soros.

To: GOP_Lady
Now, just what “rich nations” is he referring to, I wonder?

Mr. Soros, so glad to hear that you firmly believe in Global Warming. You are an old man and it shouldn't take much to figure out exactly how much money you will need to sustain yourself until your end, and, since you believe in the cause so much, you can donate the rest of your fortune to the cause of Global Warming. That will help to convince others of just how much you believe in the cause and they may follow your lead.
Try it Mr. Soros, I'm sure you will feel good about yourself when your billions are helping to save millions of people in undeveloped countries.

It amazes me that someone has not put a round through his vile head yet.
