To keep Earth from overheating too much, the nations of the world need to put fewer loopholes in climate agreements and far more money — trillions of dollars a year — into financial help for poor nations, the United Nations climate chief said Friday.
In an unusual and blunt lecture at a university in Baku,United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell called gains made in the past not nearly enough. Without the proper amount of cash, he said those could “quickly fizzle away into more empty promises.”
Much of it comes down to money: $2.4 trillion a year, Stiell said. That’s how much a United Nations High-Level Expert Group on Climate Finance estimated that developing nations — not including China — need to invest in renewable energy instead of dirtier fossil fuels, as well as to adapt to and recover from climate change harms such as floods, storms, droughts and heat waves.
Richer nations have promised less than 5% of that amount in climate financial help to poor nations — and they often haven’t even delivered that much.
“It’s already blazingly obvious that finance is the make-or-break factor in the world’s climate fight,” Stiell said. “We need torrents — not trickles — of climate finance.”

It is cold here in my part of Florida every morning.
It is a lie to trick nations run by people of color to sell their oil at fire sale pricing.

Too bad China and India don’t give a crap about the opinion of Seth Borenstein.
Start with private jets then focus on China and India. After they’ve (lol) halted “climate change” then we can discuss the U.S. doing the same. Fair?
report that the agency monitoring climate were setting up their temperature monitors in urban heavy populated cities, roof tops tarmacs and city concrete sidewalks in the dead of summer to skew the numbers
“..more cash to halt climate change..”
To halt climate change would be to halt natures ebbs and flows and that would quickly kill ALL life on the planet.
"It's not my fault!"......
We are not allowed to face the reality that there is a REASON they remain poor, but politically incorrect mention of brain power is not acceptable, today.
Better explanation: Their culture like an Islamic culture
keeps them trapped in poverty stricken economic death spiral.
U.S. Climate Data Compromised by Sensors' Proximity to Heat Sources, Critics Say
EXCLUSIVE: NOAA Relies On ‘Compromised’ Thermometers That Inflate US Warming Trend
How not to measure temperature (or climate change) #96
Wouldn’t the proper placememt of these temperature sensor yield a pretty stable measurement of around 98.6F?
I think you’ve got a point there. :-)
