U.N. Demands Payments for Climate Schemes as Biden Readies for Return to Paris Agreement

The U.N. body charged with making the Paris climate deal work scolded the global community Sunday for not making good on promises of financial aid.

The call to “pay up” came as President-elect Joe Biden readies to drag the U.S. back into the Paris climate agreement U.S. President Donald Trump exited in 2019, as Breitbart News reported.

AFP reports the U.N. Environment Programme Adaptation Gap (UNEP) said current finance levels of around $30 billion annually for adaptation were far adrift of the $70 billion promised and the time has come for more money to be sent.

UNEP said the true cost of adapting to climate impacts in nations it said are at risk could be as high as $300 billion every year by the end of the decade and $500 billion by mid-century.

“The hard truth is that climate change is upon us,” said Inger Andersen, UNEP executive director, echoing a familiar cry that has circled the globe for the past decade at leas

Groper Joe will basically taking marching orders from the U.N./Soros/China instead of having U.S. independent policies. So, those that hate America and long for her destruction will have free reign.

Mofos take months to give taxpayers a measely $600 rebate and here they are right away, immediately all ready to burn billions in the name of a scam not to mention going right back to financing terror via Iran oh yes and then supporting the tens of millions of illegals that will be swarming in. ALL of this is a priority for the Biden occupation

I would imagine that the 40 BILLION was Americans portion. Sounds about right. The effed up UN would not exist if American taxpayers quit paying for shit hole.

PDJT was the only person pushing back. Hell figure it this way, over 4 years this alone has saved us American taxpayers 160 BILLION and this does not include money saved from the UN mandates to American businesses that go with it.. Very well could be in the TRILLIONS.

Now Ol Sniffy will play catch-up so money can cleaned and be distributed to Ol Sniffy’s family mob

Exactly right, sage. I happened to catch NPR on the radio this morning. The uptalking junior high girls and effeminate men were positively giddy over the dotard’s announced plan to issue immediately a bunch of EOs — rejoining the Paris Climate Boondoggle, allowing visitors from terrorist states, throwing the southern border wide open, requiring facial diapers, etc. We really are “fooked.”

THE BIDEN BROTHERS ARE SALIVATING Biden vows $5 trillion
deal to re-enter the Paris Climate Accord that Obama negotiated
and the one Pres Trump rejected on the first day of his presidency....

=======================READ HERE=====================

Barack Obama transfers $500m to Green Climate Fund to protect Paris deal last days in office;
Second $500M Obama withdrew from State Dept using executive powers; bypassing mandated congressional support.
Michael Slezak / Tue 17 Jan 2017 / Last modified on Wed 14 Feb 2018

Barack Obama has transferred a second $500m installment from the State Dept to the Green Climate Fund just three days before he leaves office. Photograph: Evan Vucci/AP Barack Obama has heeded calls to help secure the future of the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m instalment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office.

The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming “well below” 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table. The US committed to transferring $3bn to the fund.

The new instalment leaves $2bn owing, with the incoming president, Donald Trump, expected to cease any further payments.

=====================================

Wonder if the $500M made a short cut thru a numbered account in a French Polynesian bank?

Climate Change/Global Warming was never about the Environment It is about Capitalism. With Socialism a "citizen" is merely a slave....with "Capitalism" a "citizen" is free from the dictates of a political system or "stat-ism"

America, Land of The Free ... ?

where’s the UN line-item report on how the first 30bil was spent, the cost-benefit of each line-item and the outcome of each expenditure six months from the outlay?

We’re done with black holes swallowing American tax dollars

Not “will” be taking orders... he IS and HAS BEEN taking his marching orders from his puppet masters. And those puppet masters do indeed hate America and plan for its weakening and eventual fall.

Paris agreement is simply redistribution wealth from “rich” to “poor” countries.
The rich agreed to all kind of drastic reductions, loosing whole industries, while the poor can do whatever they want. A top of it the poor get money for that whatever.
BTW China is poor.
So right now the carbon rich industries like the solar cells production are moving to “poor” countries. Mostly China, which is now by the world greatest emitter. We cannot burn coal, but we can export it to poor countries, where they can burn it.
Paris agreement = send jobs to China + send money abroad.
US is the worst looser in this. ANd the Carbon emissions are going up as the only thing what happened is moving them to poor countries.
Foreign help = taking money from middle class people in rich countries and giving them to the rich people in poor countries.
The poor people in poor countries will never see a penny out or it, but the rulers will become billionaires.

My take: they plan to convert all of the US to a service economy, primarily to service their lifestyle. It will still be a jewel of the earth, but they will have iron fist control over who enjoys that jewel. It will only take about 100 million citizens of the world brought to the US to service their desires; the rest of us will be repurposed as fertilizer.
