At UN climate talks, developing countries blast lack of detail on funding for energy transition
France24 ^ | November 21, 2024

Countries of the world took turns rejecting a new but vague draft text released early Thursday which attempts to form the spine of any deal reached at United Nations climate talks on money for developing countries to transition to clean energy and adapt to climate change.

The draft left out a crucial sticking point: how much wealthy nations will pay poor countries. A key option for the lowest amount donors are willing to pay was just a placeholder “X.” Part of that is because rich nations have yet to make an offer in negotiations.

Negotiators at the talks — known as COP29 — in Baku, are trying to close the gap between the $1.3 trillion the developing world says is needed in climate finance and the few hundred billion that negotiators say richer nations have been prepared to give.

Independent experts say that at least $1 trillion is needed in finance to help transition away from planet-warming fossil fuels and toward clean energy like solar and wind, better adapt to the effects of climate change and pay for losses and damages caused by extreme weather.

Clean energy isn’t our problem. It’s theirs. It’s time for “developing countries” to start doing a little developing on their own.

note the fake article doesn’t mention the money being demanded is to be handed over ANNUALLY, e.g. $1.3 trillion annually.

the broadcast media is being similarly deceptive in reports i’ve heard.

what a scam.

The West shot their wad by thinking they could defeat Russia in Ukraine. They simply DO NOT have any money left to waste on Third World projects.

,,, the World Bank is unable to account for around $42b of climate initiative financing. They should get mining company accountants to help out in a deeper audit.

“funding” huh?
These “developing nations” never stop grifting. The faster Trump gets America out of the Paris Accord, the better.
No more “funding” for you suckers!

“Helping poor countries” means that middle class people in the rich countries are giving money to the rich people in the poor countries!

[COP29]

[”Climate change is an unfolding crisis”]

No. No it is not, you delusional weak-minded tool.

It’s hysteria and mass delusion.


Just wait until THIS REAL Global Warming actually occurs. THIS is the one they SHOULD be concerned about:

2 Peter 3:10-12
King James Version

10 But the Day of the Lord will come as a Thief in the Night; in the which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the Elements shall melt with Fervent Heat, the Earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of God, wherein the Heavens being on Fire shall be dissolved, and the Elements shall melt with Fervent Heat?
