Environmental negotiators at the U.N.’s COP29 climate alarmism summit issued their once and final demand Sunday for a $300 billion a year pledge from wealthy countries to gift poorer countries between now and 2035.
Climate doomers quickly wailed that was not nearly enough and demanded more – much more – to take the sum to $400 billion at least.
COP29, formally the Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is the 19th edition of the U.N.’s official assembly to discuss how to address the alleged global climate crisis.
Around 50,000 people flew in from around the world for the two-week talkfest.
AFP reports some 200 nations pushed through the contentious finance pact at the meeting in the early hours in a sports stadium in Azerbaijan.
The agreement commits developed nations to pay at least $300 billion a year by 2035 to help developing countries cut emissions and prepare for worsening disasters.
It falls short of the $390 billion that economists commissioned by the United Nations had deemed a fair share contribution by developed nations.
COP29 took place in the shadow of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House and the move will doubtless see him repeat his scepticism of the entire “save the world” mantra of environmental doomers and activists.
Trump has pledged to once again withdraw the U.S. from the landmark Paris climate agreement.

Money much better spent on next generation nuclear fission electric generation plants.
My thoughts exactly. This is the equivalent of slavery reparations - just a wealth transfer from us to them.
A massive scam.
Extortion, really.
I think you’re not going to get $300 billion a year anyway so shut up
“This is the equivalent of slavery reparations...”
You, sure is. And, it’s less than half what the turd world scum were seeking.
How about...NO!
So how much of that $300 B is from the USA? Subtract that after Jan 20.
$390 billion
How did they come up with that exact figure? Why not $436 billion? Why not $517 billion and ninety nine cents?
300 billion? That is 300 too much.
They're jealous at the money thrown at Ukraine, lamenting "why not us!?"
I’m so glad I no longer have to pay income tax. I know the money drain is slowly damaging our economy, but still...
Most of these Beggar countries HATE THE WEST and the west is supposed to still give them all this money ,screw them
Hey 3rd worlders, fix your corruption and you will do well. Grifting is immoral and leads to more corruption.
Roger that. Hoping PDJT will have that crap bullDOGEd. Did I just create a new word? 😁👍
“I’ll give you my offer now, nothing. I’ll expect you to pay for the gaming license also.”
Zero funds would still be too much waste...
And grifters are never grateful. Nothing is ever enough to satisfy their greed and they just whine, complain and demand more.
I think $0 would be the appropriate amount. These are just lowly thieves.
Life’s a Byotch. Maybe Greta Thunberg can loan them a few bucks?
Biden could pledge all he wants. I believe that Trump will un pledge it.
