To keep Earth from overheating too much, the nations of the world need to put fewer loopholes in climate agreements and far more money — trillions of dollars a year — into financial help for poor nations, the United Nations climate chief said Friday.
In an unusual and blunt lecture at a university in Baku, Azerbaijan, the host city of upcoming international climate negotiations later this year, United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell called gains made in the past not nearly enough. Without the proper amount of cash, he said those could “quickly fizzle away into more empty promises.”
Much of it comes down to money: $2.4 trillion a year, Stiell said. That’s how much a United Nations High-Level Expert Group on Climate Finance estimated that developing nations — not including China — need to invest in renewable energy instead of dirtier fossil fuels, as well as to adapt to and recover from climate change harms such as floods, storms, droughts and heat waves.
Richer nations have promised less than 5% of that amount in climate financial help to poor nations — and they often haven’t even delivered that much.
“It’s already blazingly obvious that finance is the make-or-break factor in the world’s climate fight,” Stiell said. “We need torrents — not trickles — of climate finance.”

Climate is natural and built in and this chief is a fool thinking money can change it ,LOL
The UN pimps want us to shovel our cash into their coffers. Liberals/liberTardians are too stupid to see the scam. Global Warming is wealth redistribution in disguise.
Oh look - $***hole dictators and global commies at the UN are demanding more walkin’-around money from Americans - which they will then use to fk us over... their crypto mission.
Make America great and just shell the UN building in plqce. Or at least evict the shitholians and use it for migrant housing.
More authoritarian control will make the weather better, eh?
how about we just pay the UN once to shut the hell up and go away ?
A lot of this will go to lapdog pseudo-scientists and NGOs. The NGOs especially will recycle it into politics and second careers for select politicians. Wash, rinse and repeat.
Simon Stiell , is his last name pronounced STEAL ?
Gotta love these pompous asses. not just an “Expert” Group, but a “High Level Expert group.”
The UN is so filled with incompetence that even their janitors would fail a janitor exam. The UN is a complete collection of incompetence, stupidity, and corruption. Lunch the SOBs and DOBs into the sun and cheer as they are reduced into atoms. Eff them and the sewer then came from.
Those lying scamming maggots know full well the earth is going to go through another cooling period pretty soon, and they are going to claim
“See folks? We told you! Our efforts to control the climate have paid off, and now the earth is cooling again! Molech be praised we saved the world!”
If we print enough money it will no longer be cold in winter or hot in summer.
It’s science.
$2.4 trillion a year, on nothing but they’ll buy new Villas and Yachts oh and Private Jets
Screw 'em.
[[ not just an “Expert” Group, but a “High Level Expert group.”]]
Holy cow! A “High Level Expert”? That is almost in the category of “Godlike Expert” How blessed we are that the un c9nsults with “High Level Experts”! /s
I’m sending all my money so Martha’s Vineyard and Malibu property owners are safe.
Leftists. Income transfer. More. Leftists. Income transfer. More. etc.
2- There are no changes that man or policy can make that would affect the natural changes in climate.
3-Quit wasting taxpayer money to pander fear and destroy our energy independence!
Taxing air, every politician’s dream.
Temperatures drop quite rapidly in the afternoon here in Florida.
The CO2 in the atmosphere is not a good insulator.
