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.

"It is possible to substantially increase the amount available to fight global warming in the developing world," he said. "All that is lacking is the political will. Unfortunately the political will will be difficult to gather because of the mere fact that it requires congressional approval in the United States."

Interesting...sounds like it wouldn't break his heart IF Congress simply went away.

Yep, just like emperor Zero.

I knew this would happen. Gore and Soros have alot at stake, and this has been scripted to a "T". Nothing more than an orchestrated wealth re-distribution plan, under the guise of climate change.

This is the ultimate conflict of interest. Too bad Soros is too savy to keep investigators from following the money.

American billionaire George Soros

Oh really! This POS is NOT American and is only by naturalization and that should not have been Granted.

[gov_bean_ counter]

The man is pure evil.

I agree. Soros is NOT American. I don’t care whether he’s a naturalized citizen or not. His thoughts and deeds are contrary to all things American. In fact, he’s an enemy of American concepts of liberty.

[wafflehouse]

i propose Soros puts his money where his big fat mouth is, and ponies up the dough to make up the difference

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[cripplecreek]

He’s a wanted fugitive in a few nations. I believe Thailand considers him to be an economic terrorist.

[bossmechanic]

Yup -
The man needs his own personal
windmill up his A$$.

Unverifiable, unreproducible, not honestly peer reviewed “data”, that has since conveniently been destroyed...

GloBull Warming is no more real than ‘Cold Fusion’.

Americans for Prosperity reported today from Copenhagen that the "Copenhagen Treaty" language has been changed in two critical ways. First, the word "treaty" has been changed to "agreement" so that Obama can sign it without review by the U.S. Senate, and second "worldwide government" has been removed. Nevertheless, the "treaty" creates some 700 new global government offices and entities which will supercede the U.S. Constitution.

“The $10 billion a year proposed by rich nations to help the poor adapt to climate change is “not sufficient” “

It’s a holdup!

What is this guy worried about? BamaKennedy has a committee of czars, the EPA, and a willing Congress to fund their handiwork. I have stayed away from the weather channel prophets the past couple of days, but seems there has to be some reason why old man winter has been raging out of control before Winter officially begins. I can't wait to find out why.

Thanks for posting this. So, ZERO is having the Europeans circumnavigate our politics—by using agreement over treaty. Where are the Repubbies on this? I have to check out FR to find this. This should be NEWS.

[Venturer]

When did Soros come out in the open and pushing his agenda? Isnt this new? I mean he usually works in the shadows, sneaking around making his fortune.

He owns Brackp Bama lock stock and barrel and now he is coming out of the closet.

[Achilles Heel]

Soros and his paid for groups are so anti Israel that it is a wonder the Mossad isn’t on his case.

[wastoute]

Then why doesn’t Soros step up? He could quit wasting his money trying to destroy the U.S. and start putting it where his fat mouth is.

You’re most welcome. I was just stunned when I came across the thread. I had heard Rush speak about a UK Guardian article (which I didn’t get around to looking for) that reportedly said something about the US, UK and Denmark were planning to take control of ‘global warming’ away from the UN and into control of their own so it (the money) could be managed by the world bank and the first person I thought of was Soros.

Now I see this article and WHAM.
