COPENHAGEN — The $10 billion a year proposed by rich nations to help the poor adapt to climate change is "not sufficient" and the gap between what's offered and what's needed could wreck the Copenhagen climate conference, American billionaire George Soros said Thursday.

The investor-philanthropist, one in a line of international notables visiting the 192-nation meeting, told reporters he had developed a partial solution. Soros suggested shifting some International Monetary Fund resources from providing liquidity to stressed global financial system to a new mission of financing projects in developing countries for clean energy and adapting to climate change.

“i propose Soros puts his money where his big fat mouth is,”

Well, I think he is certainly putting his money where his beliefs are. If you have ever wondered why Pelosi, Reid, Obama are willing to sacarificed the house and senate majorities and the presidency if that’s what it takes to pass nationalized health care, cap and trade, it’s because the Puppet Master, aka George Soros has directed that it will be done....

Is Soros really an American or is that a lie too? Can’t wait for him to be perp walked to a jail cell. Maybe he can be Bernie’s cell mate.

to help the poor adapt to climate change

It seems like there is a new language developing - a leftist patois that only they comprehend.

You just know that adaptation by poor folks involves more than better winter coats and summer air conditioning.

And somewhere it's all about holding onto other peoples $$$.

He needs to depart our company. How many times was his name listed on the WH visitor list?

This is his plan and Obama is a bought and paid for puppet.

How old is Soros anyway?

When is everyone going to realize that we are no longer one of the ‘rich’ countries. We are so far upside down that we will never be close to paying off our debts. A baby born today owes over $300,000.00 just to pay off current debt and unfunded liabilities and the amount just KEEPS GROWING!

Soros is 79. Born in 1930 in Hungary. Unfortunately, I went to elementary school with his nephew.

Franklin, Jefferson and Adams were certainly prescient to be able to foresee a George Soros in the future

According to a court ruling last week, here in Pennsylvania is it apparently OK to pray for someone to kill him.

So since the only reason anyone listens to him is because he's a billionaire, and the problem he's talking about is money, why doesn't he just fix it?

With libtards, “charity” and “compassion” only involve other people’s money.

Not that this has anything to do with charity, but to a libtard, transferring $ from producers to non-producers IS charity.
