Get it from China! We owe “the world” NOTHING.

[rktman]

Well, they said ANY FAILURE in Gasglow would doom us all to famine, terrorism, war, psoriasis.......... 😂🙌

“A target for rich countries to provide poor nations with $100 billion in aid…”

Rich countries?! He really means you and me. How about all the billionaires pushing this project chip in and fund it if it’s so important.

[monkeyshine]

So we’re going to give them $100 billion so they can remain poor and undeveloped?

[KC_Conspirator]

This sounds like the biggest grift ever.

[Amendment10]

Missing fund-raising goals is a part of life, including when you pledge somebody else’s money.

[Organic Panic]

How many more trillions do we need to give to poor s holes before it is proven that s hole people make s holes because they like s holes?

OH WAIT. As long as the grifters take their cut (hello Hillary) it will never stop.

[freedumb2003]

Like a single dime of that was going to go anywhere but line the pocket of despots of piss-poor countries.

Only a foolish naife would think otherwise.

For reference, in 2016, we sent $50 billion a year in foreign aid to almost every nation on earth. Of that, $34 billion of that went to "economic aid" (not military aid). And almost ALL of that went to poor countries.

But what's another $10 billion?

How many FReepers got a 33% salary boost for all the pain and suffering caused by the GD federal government?

[Army Air Corps]

You forgot Rickets and low bowling scores!

[dynachrome]

The global poor want nikes, big screen TVs, and good drugs.

[dead]

10% to the big guy.

[dsrtsage]

The po’ can collect when they come here along with their free car to further clog our freeways

[oil_dude]

So happy they failed!

[dsrtsage]

“ So we’re going to give them $100 billion so they can remain poor and undeveloped?”

How else are new palaces for tyrants with funny hats to be constructed?

[ifinnegan]

These articles are so disjointed. Each paragraph is a random scattershot if quotes, names, statements, with no overall coherence.

[antidemoncrat]

“A target for rich countries to provide poor nations with $100 billion in aid each year to tackle global warming will be missed”

I’m sure Joe will step up and declare the US will foot the bill for those other poor “rich countries” who don’t want to pay.
