Vice President Kamala Harris is in Dubai this week to take part in the UN’s annual effort to extort money from rich countries to give to poor countries.
It’s called the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC ( United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). COP28 for short.
“Today, I am also proud to announce a new $3 billion pledge to the Green Climate Fund, which helps developing countries invest in resilience, clean energy and nature-based solutions,” Harris said Friday during a speech at the summit.
Does anyone have any idea what a «nature-based solution» to climate change might be? Wouldn’t that be, like, standing aside and letting nature take its course? I’m sure that’s not what it means, but that would be a capital idea.
Unfortunately, the poor countries of the world found that $3 billion contribution to the climate loss and damage fund woefully inadequate.
«The amount pledged by the United States is insulting,» said Bineshi Albert, co-executive director of the Climate Justice Alliance. «It is a paltry, shameful amount of money…. By comparison, island nations have requested at least $100 billion over the first four years.»
It should be noted that there are several dozen other countries that will be contributing to the loss and damage fund.
