On Saturday, the U.S. pledged $3 billion to help developing countries mitigate and combat climate change.

“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,” Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday during a speech at the U.N. climate summit in Dubai.
 
The funding comes at a time when Congress is sharply divided, and Republicans have been very vocal about wanting to cut spending overall, and fight President Biden’s agenda.

A source told Reuters that the pledge was subject to fund availability.

In her speech, Harris also called for more climate action in her speech.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

As our currency approaches monopoly money status and value, wonder how it all matters in the grand scheme.

Hell, she could have sent them a $100T (Trillion) as long as it was in Zimbawe dough.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
So let me get this straight. It seems a majority of 'developing' countries are in equatorial regions or at least between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.  Are we paying for their air conditioning now?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
