2015 COP21 UN Climate Change Document Draft: SHOW ME THE MONEY Yes, we were all expecting it, but maybe not spelled out in so spectacular a fashion. The draft document of the 2015 United Nations Conference on Climate Change of Paris fame outright calls for the direct transfer of cash from developed nations to not so developed nations to the tune of $100 Billion ANNUALLY by 2020. Resolves to enhance the provision of urgent and adequate finance, technology and capacity-building support by developed country Parties in order to enhance the level of ambition of pre-2020 action by Parties, and in this regard strongly urges developed country Parties to scale up their level of financial support, with a concrete roadmap to achieve the goal of jointly providing USD 100 billion annually by 2020 for mitigation and adaptation while significantly increasing adaptation finance from current levels and to further provide appropriate technology and capacity-building support. (Where does the UN and the Obama Administration think we are going to get this kind of cash given the amount of debt the developed countries are in, was not addressed other than to tell us to get on it.) So, this Paris UN Climate Change agreement that still faces ratification in the Senate whether Obama wants it to or not more or less says the rich countries are to finance the poor countries in their quest for renewable energy sufficiency. Without defining who is considered rich and who is not. In another world, this would be known as wealth transfer. (To people with a brain, it still is.) And then there is this: 1. Developed country Parties shall provide financial resources to assist developing country Parties with respect to both mitigation and adaptation in continuation of their existing obligations under the Convention. 2. Other Parties are encouraged to provide or continue to provide such support voluntarily. 3. As part of a global effort, developed country Parties should continue to take the lead in mobilizing climate finance from a wide variety of sources, instruments and channels, noting the significant role of public funds,through a variety of actions, including supporting country-driven strategies, and taking into account the needs and priorities of developing country Parties. Such mobilization of climate finance should represent a progression beyond previous efforts. We in the United States have homeless veterans and an indigent population that does need caring for, in addition to really needing to jump start a stagnant economy, and the Obama Administration is hell bent on signing away cash that we dont have per annum that is going to be needed to help pay off an $18 TRILLION debt, and Secretary of State John Kerry thinks this is a good deal? What would a bad deal look like? Is the UN really that suicidal so as to think the USA is a bottomless pit of cash? When we run out of money sending it all to third world hell holes, who is the UN going to bankrupt next? It is one thing when international agreements disguised as UN treaties call for help from more technologically advanced nations to lend assistance and guidance in building infrastructure and working toward better humanitarian living conditions for the people in poorer nations, but just sending cash? Americans have done that for decades and in many cases, the peoples condition in the aided countries does not improve, but tinpot dictators and various despots always seem to end up living in luxury by comparison to their subjects. How can we believe this time the situation will be any different? P.S. Even actual hard core climate scientists are calling foul at what the Paris UN Climate Change Conference is espousing. James Hansen, the godfather of the movement, says: Its a fraud really, a fake, he says, rubbing his head. Its just bullshit for them to say: Well have a 2C warming target and then try to do a little better every five years. Its just worthless words. There is no action, just promises. As long as fossil fuels appear to be the cheapest fuels out there, they will be continued to be burned. Never mind that petrochemicals are the cheapest and the most efficient form of energy out there right now.
