US will not commit to climate change aid for poor nations at UN summit
Guardian ^ | 9/20/2014 | Suzanne Goldenberg

Posted on 09/20/2014 6:57:35 PM PDT by Dallas59

Barack Obama will not be pledging any cash to a near-empty fund for poor countries at a United Nations summit on climate change next week, the UN special climate change envoy said on Friday.

The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, has challenged the 125 world leaders attending the 23 September summit to make “bold pledges” to the fund, intended to help poor countries cope with climate change.

The UN has been pressing rich countries to come up with pledges of between $10bn and $15bn.

“We are putting a lot of pressure for them to do it at the summit on the 23rd,” the UN envoy and former Irish president, Mary Robinson, told the Guardian on the sidelines of a US Agency for International Development meeting. But she added: “I know the United States is not going to commit because I’ve asked.”

Me neither. Committing to whatever it is they want to do with the climate. Oddly enough though, drove the Ram Hemi yesterday and now they’re forecasting rain. Hmmmm. Coincidence? I don’t think so. LOLOLOLOL! :>}

“Climate Change” ... The most obvious — and yet pervasive because of the complicit media constantly pushing it — scam in world history.

It’s time to send Banki the Moon’s @$$ back to Korea. Preferably North Korea.

I see Al Gore is one of the main lefty dignitaries leading the Climate March on New York to coincide with this meeting. It’s Christmas time for Al Gore and his enormous bank account.

I guess “Barack Obama” has been knocked back by the fact that the Democrat Party is so freaked out that even they don’t want to be part of his program.

Actually, this is a fabulous idea and I wish I had thought of it sooner.

I’m going to set up a fund through Paypal. I will seek donations to it from any and all caring individuals; the money will be used to help me cope with Global Climate Change.

I’ll get back to you once I’ve worked out the details.

I don’t know why this makes me think of something else. If you are rally old like me, you’ll remember the old National Lampoon ad showing a gun to the head of a pet doggie. The ad demands that you subscribe “or the dog gets it”.

Maybe I could do something like that. I’ve got a dog. He’s not that cute, but maybe he’ll do.

Sell Al Gore's Gulfstream Jet and give them the proceeds.

A global climate change two-fer.

That is what it's been about, and only about from day one. From another ice age, to global warming, to climate change, to the population bomb, it is ONLY about the money. F these MOFOs.

Hey dumb asses at UN: Make it $2 per capita and get China and India to pay up first then come calling. Until then...go pound sand. On second thought, take your false anthroprogenic global climate theory based on false and manipulated data and stick it where the solar input you ignore don't shine.

For climate change? Sounds like a global version of cash for clunkers - another way to burn money. Maybe Ø' said no... but he feels otherwise.
