U.S. to contribute to $100B climate fund to help developing countries: Hillary Clinton

The planet may be saved after all, and it will only cost $100 billion.

Just as the Copenhagen climate summit appeared to be on the verge of unraveling, the United States Thursday announced its support of an annual $100 billion climate protection fund, the Associated Press reports.

“The US is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020 to address the climate change needs of developing countries,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.

Included in the conditions for the US' contribution, Clinton demanded that China's emissions reductions be scrutinized independently and that 193 countries sign a climate deal tomorrow. This would keep the US and other rich nations on top of developing countries who want them to increase emission cuts, the AP reports.

Clinton revealed that the U.S. would not be decreasing emissions by 2020 beyond the 4 percent it committed to in 1990.

While she would not disclose how much the U.S. would be contribution to the climate fund, Clinton said there would be a fair amount contributed to the pot that would be made available in 2020. The finances will reportedly be raised partially by taxing aviation and shipping, as proposed by the European Union.

Obama is washed up and politically done with all of his atrocious domestic policies. His poll numbers reflect this fact. He seemingly put all of his eggs in one basket with the fake global warming and has now miserably failed globally. I believe he will pull something in his desperation that will shock us all even more than he has.

I think the above picture of Hillary is history of her political career being over.

Since when can the U.S. Secretary of State obligate federal taxpayer dollars?

Why do they use an 18 year old photo of Hillary Clinton instead of a current one?

I don’t know how many votes have been cast on that poll but when I cast mine 100% were against giving any money to the fund.

I was disappointed in the Poll.

“Not only no, but HELL no!”, was not one of the options.

The left-wing media always tries to subtly influence a superficial public by only displaying nice-looking photos of left-wingers like Hillaroo. In order to effectively do this, their photos need to be almost 20 years old.

They should at least show what she really looks like.

Hillary doesn’t have the authority to carry out this theft of taxpayer money. Doesn’t the Congress have to approve this? This tyranny must end. This is our (not their) money!
