U.S. Taxpayers Cover Nearly Half the Cost of U.N.’s Global Warming Panel
CNSnews ^ | January 3, 2011 | Elizabeth Harrington

Posted on 01/05/2012 9:43:06 AM PST by opentalk

A study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that the United States funded the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations’ authority on alleged man-made global warming, with $31.1 million since 2001, nearly half of the panel’s annual budget.

The GAO also found that this funding information “was not available in budget documents or on the websites of the relevant federal agencies, and the agencies are generally not required to report this information to Congress.”

In a Nov. 17, 2011 report, “International Climate Change Assessments: Federal Agencies Should Improve Reporting and Oversight of U.S. Funding,” the GAO found that the State Department provided $19 million for administrative and other expenses, while the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) provided $12.1 million in technical support through the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), averaging an annual $3.1 million to the IPCC over 10 years -- $31.1 million so far.

The IPCC runs an annual budget of $7 million, according to the Wall Street Journal, making the United States a major benefactor for its global warming agenda.

since 2001

That is the key phrase. It isn't just Obama. It was George Bush and the "Republican" Congress too. Does anyone really think that if the GOP wins the Senate and presidency, this nonsense will stop? Its why there is a conservative rebellion brewing.

I wonder how much more is spent by the bureaucracies of the FDA, EPA, CDC, HUD, Department of Energy, etc. combating ‘climate change’. Is that money shown separately in the budget?

Add the green energy loans, volt, Al Gore mobile, shutting down coal plants, oil, lost jobs and tax revenue...

It really is a hit to the US

Apparently the John Birch Society of the 60's was way ahead of its time.

You sound like the liberal media “It’s all Bush’s fault”.

Sure, your democrats didn’t have anything to do with this and the socialist mess the U.S.A is in. No reality is that Democrats should take the blame for this socialist mess the U.S.A is in.

FDA, EPA, CDC, HUD, Department of Energy, etc. gov schools, and the IRS must be abolished now.

Also close the border to China products and to illegals. No trade with China.

RE: "Opportunity to cut some pork."
I found it interesting to hear Newt Gingrich say while at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire yesterday, that if he where elected he would get tough of the UN. Made a statement to the effect, he would cut back funds to them significantly.
