Our money saved from green conference-goers bernard replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:26am) By not giving some of these African countries lot$ of Dollar$ will more likely save lifes by the despots not starting a war with a neighbouring country through lack of funds Arbiter replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:35am) As opposed to typical leftard thinking. "Here, have a heap some of someone elses money to address your fad "problem." Make sure you create a giant bureaucracy to administer it! MurrayA replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:44am) Rather , "Screw you, Mr J." TA is absolutely right not to throw taxpayers money down a bottomless sink-hole, just to make leftwards like you feel good. If you want to part with your money for that kind of cause then make a donation to GetUp, WWF, or some similar crowd. No-one's stopping you. What's the saying? A fool and his money are soon parted. So go ahead; just don't send any bills to the taxpayer for this ongoing scam. deric d replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:45am) Being duped again Jordo. You are being taken for a sucker again Jordo. This is money that will achieve nothing. More wasteful spending from the deceivers of the left. Abraham replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:52am) Jordan, You are more than welcome to funnel as much of YOUR money as you desire into whichever Third World country you choose. But only YOUR money ... not MINE. I prefer to spend MY money on things I consider worthy. Definitely not on things you hand wringers deem "important." So spend away sunshine. watty replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:54am) Unlike our Government which decided that other countries are all right, so don't try and screw us.? Hope the day soon comes when your pea like brain realises that the redistribution of wealth and the tithes being sought from developed countries have SFA to do with the environment. James P. replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:55am) We are part of the commonwealth for just this reason, to stop parasitic smaller "struggling" states from leeching off the successful rich states. if the governments of these states stopped spending all their aid ion themselves, and actually started spending it on their countries, they would be in much better shape. And as Climate change is only a scam anyway, the money isn't needed, it would just be wasted. Show us how supposed climate change is affecting these small African nations. Big Ted replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (10:58am) Great - so when climate refugees start coming to Australia by boat... Bolt will welcome theme in as well. Clownfish replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:14am) As opposed to the Far Left thinking of punishing the successful to favour the failures. But, as the socialist thinking goes, if I want to keep what I've earned, that's selfish, but if you want to forcibly take what I've earned, that's fair. Um, yeah ... Borderer replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:17am) I think it was more along the lines that Canada and Australia are the only Commonwealth countries with any capacity to contribute to this "fund" and really didn't like the idea of footing the bill in order to help rich politicians in small countries have access to another form of graft. If they just used low denomination bills as firewood they would actually be providing more actual aid to real people than contributing to such a fanciful scheme. Don't be vague ask for Haig replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:35am) Just focusing on one single item as usual. The pommy guy, said the same (I'm all right so screw you!) to the rest of the comm. heads when he visited the north of SL. - you have an opinion on this? Saint replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:40am) Far right? It's actually typical of adult, pragmatic and sensible thinking. We cannot change the temperature of the planet. This fund would have seen yet more of our money wasted and so it was sensibly knocked on the head. Clive08 replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:41am) The Copenhagen climate conspiracy tried to get the Western democracies to part with $100billion/year to the mostly corrupt and violent third world in a massive wealth redistribution exercise. This is the reason for the climate change fraud.They also wanted the power to dictate to countries how much CO2 they could emit and impose sanctions on those who did not comply.World government. Typical far Left thinking. Bob of QLD replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:45am) There is nothing wrong with you or any other person sending your own private contributions. If you really are concerned, you will. Docker replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:54am) The word "Commonwealth" doesn't actually mean that my wealth is yours. Talisman replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (11:57am) We are part of the Commonwealth, we are not subservient to any nation (s) within it - much as you'd like us to be. Peter Anderson replied to Mr. Jordon Mon 18 Nov 13 (12:01pm) We are not part of a Commonwealth that attempts to go off chasing an anthropogenic "phantom" menace. That is being made clearer to those political "rent seekers." They are seen still trying to cling to disreputable notions of there being anthropogenic climate problems whilst persisting in avoiding even use of the word Anthropogenic! There is no fact, no observation, of Total Co2 producing problems but instead is observed increased plant growth rates. With Total CO2 not presenting any observable problem those vocal few must be far more detailed in their outline of how anthropogenic CO2 is directly a worthwhile issue. Certainly there is no need to spend (endlessly) money fighting the unobserved but supposed "CO2 effect," and without observation there cannot be even a determination of success!
