"Climate change is one of the most significant challenges of this century," warns the grant notice. "As a result of human activities, we are witnessing warming of the atmosphere, melting sea ice and glaciers, rising sea levels, and changes in the frequency and intensity of weather patterns, among other phenomena."
The grant opportunity, posted by the public affairs section of the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan on Grants.gov, postulates that climate change is having a "profound effect" globally and could potentially "cause irreversible alterations to the earth's habitat, biodiversity and ecosystems."
Based on funding availability, the grant is expected to help Pakistan in its fight to ward off the potential ravages of climate change.
Even though Pakistan emits less than 1% of global greenhouse gasses, it is among the world's "most vulnerable victims" of climate change, the embassy public affairs specialists assert, citing a study by the World Bank Group and Asian Development Bank that predicts a rate of warming "significantly above the global average" in the nation, with disproportionate risk for the "vulnerable, poor and minority groups,"

Oh brother. Is the big guy getting his 10%?
Total INSANITY
Sarasota Florida 37 degrees...global warming???? Looks like were headed for a cooling cycle...been warm down here for the last ten years
These leftists are domestic enemies doing anything and everything to destroy the USA.
The statement is an absolute lie from start to finish.
It’s why they switched to climate change. They can claim any weather is “too” this or that.
U.S. Embassy in Islamabad to award $1.3M to raise consciousness for climate change in Pakistan which will use it to help stop climate change by equipping its covert jihadis with more weapons, explosives and other deadly weapons to kill Hindus, Christians and, of course the perennial favorite, Jews.
So this is what our Country stands for now?
And I’m supposed to be worried about Russia?
What’s the story about Emperor Nero? He fiddled while Rome burned? $1.3M to some connected Paki who will kick back Joe’s 10% (or more) and also to the Ambassador and cronies?
The value of this project aside, the United States is a debtor nation. So this award money is borrowed money, money that our grandchildren will have to repay.
Everyone in middle America seems to get that. But what do they matter?
Washington DC is the enemy.
Propaganda budget to payoff lemmings to join the scam.
Absurdity…thy name is Biden!
Headline is all wrong. It should read something like this:
U.S. Embassy in Islamabad to award $1.3M, to a firm closely linked to people in the White House, Psaki, Blinken, or some other SES in the State Dept, who will spend about $100k on the program and then kickback $1.2M to those they’re connected with and got them the contract, and those people will then kick a little something back to the contractor, to raise consciousness for climate change in Pakistan.
Fixed it.
This gets the award for most f_cked up news of the week.
Way to go Brandon...
What? No gender studies program like in Afghanistan? Money is tight.
Imbeciles. Do you think the Pakis give a rodent’s behind about climate change? They will buy arms with the U.S. taxpayers’ money or give it to their buddies the Taliban to do so. Who makes these decisions? A true moron, obviously.
It’s going to make a lot of democrats happy plan summer vacation caching $$$$$$.
Giving away our money to try to convince 7th century savages that the world is getting warmer!
The decrepit old fool should not be entrusted with our money!
