“I am deeply concerned that the GCF – while it has been really trying to work – has not been fully funded,” Ki-moon added.

Money from the Green Climate Fund, however, has been disbursed for highly questionable projects, even if one believes dubious global warming predictions. For example, a $50 million Green Climate Fund spending program in Ethiopia is called “Responding to the Increasing Risk of Drought: Building Gender-responsive Resilience of the Most Vulnerable Communities.” Focusing on ‘gender justice,’ the UN emphasizes that “Over 50% of the beneficiaries will be women.”

Forgetting for the moment the appropriateness of directing climate dollars to a gender-justice agenda, there is clearly no need for the program. While the program emphasizes drought vulnerability, global warming is not bringing drought to Ethiopia. Instead, global warming is bringing ideal climate conditions reflected in satellite images showing a dramatic greening of Ethiopia.
