Money on the table — perhaps $10 billion a year or more — could help close a deal in Denmark next month and keep climate talks moving toward a new global treaty in 2010. But if poorer nations see too little offered up front, the U.N. conference could end in discord.
The money would help developing countries cope with ocean flooding, drought and other effects of climate change, while also helping them cut down on emissions of global-warming gases. The funds might eventually come from new sources, such as a tax on airline flights, but negotiators for now are seeking quicker infusions.
"Rich countries must put at least $10 billion a year on the table to kick-start immediate action up to 2012," the U.N. climate chief, Yvo de Boer, told reporters last week in a preview of the two-week conference opening next Monday in Copenhagen.
His goal gathered backing in recent days, including from French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who said his nation would contribute $1.3 billion over three years.
"The rest of Europe will do so," Brown told a Commonwealth summit in Trinidad on Friday. "And I believe America will do so as well."
U.S. President Barack Obama and the Chinese leadership energized lagging climate talks last week by announcing modest targets for controlling their countries' emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for warming the atmosphere.

Tar. Feathers. Rails. Lots and lots of them.
Oh, darn, and just as it was within the grasp of CRU someone threw out the original raw data.
Didn't win.
The next week that number won, but it was too late.
Lost over $100 million bucks, and all I needed to do was keep playing that number.
No doubt that's how the CRU folks feel ~
No.
Now get out of my country.
>> The money would help developing countries cope with ocean flooding, drought and other effects of climate change
There. AREN’T. Any. Such. Effects.
But who’s kidding who? This dough will go straight into the pockets of the corrupt dictators running these third world hellholes — minus 30% into the pockets of the corrupt UN facilitators who are running the shakedown racket.
This sounds a lot like the extortion racket that Jesse Jackson had going with all of the major US corporations. All I needs is $10 billion to tide me over till next year.
Sounds just like a traditional nigerian 419 scam...

Tough *hit!
The oceans have NOT risen an inch. There is NO flooding caused by global warming. The earth has been COOLING for years. Are these people nuts or criminal?
Waving hand - call on me, call on me - the answer is: CRIMINAL.
De Boer also served as Deputy Director-General for Environmental Protection in the same Ministry, as Head of the Climate Change Department.
---------------- "So, I see you are a merchant after all."
If there isn’t an enormous amount of money to embezzle or lots of women and children to rape, the UN simply can’t get interested.
It’s like watching crazy people leading each other around. How to stop the madness?
Maybe the Repubs can argue for emergency legislation to block the US from participating in this shakedown. Not one freaking penny.
it's the gelt, it's ALWAYS the gelt...
I think I hear crickets in the background.
This AGW "theory" has so many holes it looks like swiss cheese.
SO what are we going to do about it....?
Hold more cute signs while screaming catchy slogans that fall upon closed eyes and deaf ears?
Wew! For a minute there I was concerned that this global warming thing was just a big wealth transfer scheme, perpetrated by petty tyrants and their leftist UN pals. This passage really puts my mind at rest.
What's your point?
for reference...regarding the ethical/moral CRIMES of more than a
few “climate scientists”:
Climate change data dumped!!!!!!!!
