Barack Obama has transferred a second $500m installment from the State Dept to the Green Climate Fund just three days before he leaves office. Photograph: Evan Vucci/AP Barack Obama has heeded calls to help secure the future of the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m instalment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office. The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming well below 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table. The US committed to transferring $3bn to the fund. The new installment leaves $2bn owing, with the incoming president, Donald Trump, expected to cease any further payments.
=====================================
The $billion that made a short cut thru numbered accounts in a French Polynesian bank? (smirk)
Obama and Hillary were the head of the snake. They both need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The United States will NOT survive a two-tier justice system.
There are plenty of SOBs right here in the US that there is empirical data that they tried to over throw this government via a soft coup. They still walk the streets free.
Oh goodie! Another investigation!! I wonder how many years this one will take before they bury everything anyway.
