Three billion to fight a phantom problem. Thanks Barry.

Quote:The administration will pledge $3 billion to help poor countries adapt to the effects of global warming, a White House official said Friday — the second high-profile announcement on climate change to come this week during President Barack Obama’s trip abroad.

The promised money for a multibillion-dollar Green Climate Fund will lend momentum to Obama’s hopes for reaching an international climate change agreement next year.

“It is in our national interest to help vulnerable countries to build resilience to climate change,” the White House official said. “More resilient communities are less likely to descend into instability or conflict in the aftermath of extreme climate events, needing more costly interventions to restore stability and rebuild. Building resilience also helps safeguard our investments in many areas, including food security, health, education and economic growth.”

The upcoming announcement will be timed to coincide with this weekend’s G20 summit in Australia. It comes just days before a Nov. 20 Green Climate Fund pledging conference in Berlin.

The Republican congress in the new year can block that.

I'm sure that is EXACTLY what that money will go towards.

I'd like to help fight global warming too, can I have some money for it?

Because African countries never had to deal with warm weather before.

Some warlord is happy.

I read an article where they wanted to breed African chickens with American chickens because African chickens can withstand more heat.

F*cking idiots. And these people are flippin scientists.

But if we say certain humans can tolerate heat or cold better than others you'll get beaten with the racist stick.
