Britain, France back global fund for climate ills

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad — The leaders of Britain and France gave their backing Friday to a global fund that would provide billions of dollars to poor countries to help them reduce the output of greenhouse gases linked to climate change.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the wealthiest nations should set aside the money as part of a climate agreement at next month's U.N. summit on the issue in Copenhagen.

Sarkozy told reporters at a Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Trinidad that the fund should provide $10 billion annually for the next three years to help poor countries fight deforestation and reduce their carbon emissions as well as address effects of climate change. He also called for the creation of a "world environmental organization" to monitor progress on curbing pollution.

"We can no longer afford to be unambitious," he said of global climate efforts. "What is at stake here is the future of our planet."

Have these guys heard of climategate?

Are they going to make decisions as if the false information of global warming didn’t exist?

It sounds so funny, sadly funny, to hear world leaders talk about what a crisis this is, now that the hoax of global warming “science” has been exposed.

Is this to "replace" the missing money, "paid in" since 2001?

Large sums of money promised to developing countries to tackle climate change aid are unaccounted for, according to the BBC. A BBC investigation has found that it is not possible to verify whether the 410 million US dollars a year pledged by industrialised countries in the 2001 Bonn Declaration has actually been paid or not. The annual payments, due to run until 2008, should have totalled 2.87 billion US dollars. However, the BBC reports that only 260 million US dollars have ever been paid into two United Nations funds earmarked for the purpose. The European Union claims the climate change aid was paid out in bilateral deals, but it has no data to prove it. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has accused industrialised countries of failing to keep their promise.

Billions of climate aid cash unaccounted for

What we have is fictional science produced by an agenda of a powerful conspiracy. These are the five parts of an Alex Jones interview with Lord Christopher Monckton. He will explain how the EU is run by private czars and elections do not matter as legislatures do not make policy. He will call for the imprisonment of the fraudsters involved in what would be the surrender of sovereignty in addition to a carbon tax and carbon police. He calls for the dismantling of the UN which is totally corrupt and serves its own its own interest at the expense of the nations it seeks to represent.

These five segments are critical information and need all the help it can get in circulating.

OBAMA: - “I’ll double annual foreign assistance from $25b to $50b by 2012. I was a co-sponsor of the Lantos-Hyde Act that authorized $48 billion by 2013 for HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB. I support lifting the 33% cap on US contributions to the Global Fund.” VIDEO -http://www.onevote08.org/ontherecord/obamaupdated.html

McCain’s answer. McCain: “I would pursue policies that enable entrepreneurs and exporters to increase their access to international markets - which is critical to lifting nations out of poverty. These and other efforts would assist poorer nations in enabling their citizens to achieve their potential. I would also press nations on the critical importance on good governance and economic and legal reform, because no amount of assistance can succeed when governments fail their people.”
AND comments of course were quite telling of the 0bamy voters who are quite content about giving away your money..>>>”I was disappointed with McCain’s response to this question. He sounded extremely elitist when he stated that he will not give money to governments that are corrupt.” http://www.onevote08.org/ontherecord/mccain.html

"We can no longer afford to be unambitious,"

And we can no longer afford the ambitious UN.

Morally, economically, or intellectually.

This is a longer piece on the BBC story, from breakingnews, ie:

Climate change cash 'unaccounted for'

With this gem of a quote:

Artur Runge-Metzger, the senior climate change negotiator for the European Union, said the EU had done what it promised to do.

“We can say we met the promise, climate finance has really been stepped up,” he told the BBC.

But he admitted the EU was unable to provide data to show it did pay the money.

“It’s sometimes very hard to say what is the climate bit of this financing,” Mr Runge-Metzger added.

And the overseers of the UN fund will totally supervise the use of said fund, ensuring that all of the money ending up in the hands of the third world victims of our prosperity will actually be spent on remediation efforts.

Right? Right?

Hey, I have an idea. Let’s borrow money from China so we can give China money to mitigate “climate change!” We don’t care if China actually uses the money the right way, or if these boondoggles will affect global temperatures. We just want to be able to claim that they are on board for “greenhouse gas reduction targets” so we can get those troublemakers in the senate to pass crap and trade, and ratify a treaty to give even more money away while we doom US industry.

I could tell them that would kill the Golden Goose, but they think the govt. will buy them another goose.
