WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will announce plans to increase U.S. funding to help developing countries fight climate change and curb deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest during a meeting on Thursday with leaders from the world's largest economies.
The president will announce a U.S. contribution of $1 billion to the Green Climate Fund, which finances projects on clean energy and climate change resilience in developing countries, doubling the overall U.S. contribution, the White House said.
He will also announce plans to request $500 million over five years to contribute to the Amazon Fund, which works to combat deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, and related activities. A senior administration official said Biden's team would have to work with Congress to secure that funding.
Countries and entities that make up the Major Economies Forum include Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, the European Commission, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam.

These scum are cutting all kinds of programs and raising taxes to Americans. Then they write checks off our backs to further their repulsive WEF agenda.
They don’t even bother to seek funding for these things through the Congress.
Joe just rules and spends by fiat.
Only a fascist can actually do anything about a private (or even A foreign government) company from doing anything in another nation.
Hurry McCarthy.....raise the debt ceiling.
Ah, more wealth redistribution from the poor to the rich.
Funny, nothing here about tapping the 75% of the worlds water supply for desalination, pipelines to move water inland, create new farms and economies that will feed the world for generations to come, improve sanitation in areas stressed by pollution, cleanup polluted waterways or other areas which will benefit mankind. And it will cost 1/10 the price of the crap being done now.
Does anyone here believe that Brazil will actually use US funds to stop deforestation? Too expensive to covert forest to agriculture, better to stop Land Degradation from poor land management practices.
Lula has a partner for that….
“Brazil lures China’s Cofco to finance recovery of degraded land“
Man-caused climate change is nothing but BS!
“Joe just rules and spends by fiat.”
The Constitution requires all spending bills to originate in the House of Representatives. Biden can’t spend a dime without the spending be authorized by the House. Appropriations for the current spending year were made by the Democrat majority House of Representatives under Pelosi.
The next government fiscal year begins October 1, 2023. Appropriations for the upcoming year are the responsibility of a House of Representatives controlled by the Republican Party. The House can defund any program or department of the federal government by simply not including it in the appropriates bill. The House can simply not appropriate big pools of money for the president to spend as he chooses.
Of course once the appropriations bills are passed, they go to the Democrat Senate which can approve or disapprove them. Then to the President who can sign or veto them. In the past when the Republicans have controlled the House, and the Democrats the Senate and/or the White House, the Democrats have voted down or vetoed any Republican House budget that doesn’t massively increase spending. They’ve run out the clock on the appropriations process resulting in either a government “shutdown” or prospect of a shutdown if the Republicans don’t cave and give them the spending they want. The press tells the American people the Republicans are shutting down the government, and they won’t get to go to the national parks, so the Republicans cave. A big omnibus spending bill is created by the congressional staff, stuffed with pork, and passed without being read. Rinse and repeat.
The choice is simple. Pass a series of departmental appropriations bills, send them to the Senate and hang tough. When the Senate refuses to act or the president vetos the bills, hang tough. Tell the people the House has appropriated sufficient funds to run the government and the Senate and/or President are the ones shutting down the government. Tell the people, as well as the POTUS and Senate, if additional spending is required, the House will be happy to consider supplemental spending bills for each addition spending item the Senate or POTUS wants. Send an actual written supplemental bill to the House, and the House will vote it up or down.
If the Senate and or POTUS refuse to fund the government, and there is a real shutdown, the House should hang tough and send the original rejected spending legislation back to the Senate and POTUS telling them, and the people, that passing and signing the bills will open up the government.
Until the House of Representatives hangs tough, there can be no fiscal responsibility in the federal government.
Just another way the dims are working to bankrupt our country.
Factual Reality: Solar activity drives ALL weather patterns.
Factual Reality: Taxpayer funds earmarked for climate change is just another communist/socialist money laundering scheme...just like funding Ukraine’s war chest.
Something about this article struck me as emblematic of the ruling principles of primitive tyrannical regimes, like the Aztecs and the Egyptians. They insisted their powers were such that they could influence the weather. You know, make it rain, claim credit for eclipses, that kind of thing. They knew of course it was a scam but it gave them ultimate authority and control over the peons.
Nothing has changed with this crowd. they are utterly inept with not a clue to improve anything so they lay claim to the weather, the ultimate bogeyman. They cannot fix pot holes in the street but they can save the planet from the scourge of their own blatantly corrupt activities.
My friends, I give you, for sheer incompetence and utter depravity, the Biden regime, in which there is no dignity and no hope of anything of value.
I would not be surprised if they start throwing virgins into volcanoes to appease the Climate
And now the rest of the world hates us even more.
Do you really think that only the democrats are responsible for the almost 32 trillion debt we have?
Actually, they don’t hate America. They know that America is handicapped with a grossly incompetent President. They are bideing their time until he is gone.
This is almost as big a waste of money as paying off “student” loans and handing out “reparations” checks to idiots who never were slaves.
This crap has nothing to do with “da enviomen”. What this really is is the Dung Beetle Party’s commie “wealth redistribution” scheme in which far left turd roller politicians get the first cut of the bucks.

Does the capital city look like the country can’t afford solar panels?
Solar panels are far cheaper than cars.
Come now, kneel down and bow before the altar of Reverend Gore’s religion.
Anyone that can see the climate change is Delusional
