Bloomberg Steps In to Privately Fund UN Climate Programmes

Maybe they never needed government money after all.

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg to fund UN climate change body after US exits Paris Agreement

The core of the UNFCCC’s budget comes from its almost 200 member countries.

One of President Donald Trump’s first moves in office this week was to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, as he did the first time he was President.

Just three days later, billionaire Michael Bloomberg stepped in to help the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) remain fully funded despite the US ending its international climate contributions.

Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor, a UN special envoy on climate change and, according to the Forbes’ global billionaires list, the 16th richest person in the world, announced his funding pledge on 23 January.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Fine. Let them put their money where their mouths are--instead of ours.

If more leftists fund their own boondoggles, there might be fewer Leftist boondoggles in the long run.

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.

The left never thinks they've been scammed.  They just think the "new" technology or idea is just administered poorly or is "misunderstood" by consumers. :dighole:
