Someone obviously read Obama’s handbook on governing.
Crisis-hit France is “sick”, the country’s new economy minister said.
“France is sick. It’s not well. We have to describe the situation as it is,” Emmanuel Macron told French radio.
Added to its economic woes, the country is weighed down by a political crisis that has seen President Francois Hollande plumb record lows in opinion polls and a shock cabinet reshuffle in August to purge dissenters.
The government’s unpopularity “is due to a lack of results”, said Macron.
But President Hollande, the garden gnome of European politics, has the cure. More Global Warming ecoscam spending.
French President François Hollande announced that France will contribute $1 billion to a near-empty global fund to help developing nations adapt to the effects of climate change as he spoke at a United Nations climate summit on Tuesday.
“France will contribute a billion dollars over the next few years,” Hollande said.
Previously, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had been the only leader to make such a large contribution, pledging $1 billion over four years in July to the fund known as the Green Climate Fund.
At least Germany has the money, which is more than France has.
Hollande said. “There will have to be a new pricing system for carbon which will have to serve as a signal for the way we use it. We have to bring into play what finance has in terms of imagination and shift to it to serve the good of planet. We need to define a new economy for the world.”
He has failed miserably at the current economy. Might as well try a new one.
*chuckle* That’s the pic he had banned.
The header is misleading. Makes it look like France is gonna try to help keep us warm when the opposite is true. These warmunists will stop at nothing to cool us off will they? I still think we should send a bunch of them to the arctic or antarctica and watch them grow some vittles there. Maybe then they would understand that warmer is better. Nah. They’re too stupid to pick up on that.
Somehow, I just don’t see how wasting money helps the environment.
If you side-track resources for wasteful activities by taxing the sustenance of the people, presumably they have to make this up somehow. That means more stress on the environment, no?
Rich people actually take better care of the environment than do poor people, and the same is even more true of countries. So a country that impoverishes itself with wasteful, ritualistic, show-piece expenditures, is not helping the environment at all.
