General Secretary of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon has announced that countries have not lived up to their responsibility to give him and his teams of bureaucrats more money.
According to The Guardian;
“The world’s action has not so far matched its responsibilities, said UN secretary-general at Lima summit on climate change
…
“Ban said there was still a chance of limiting global warming to an internationally agreed ceiling of 2C above pre-industrial times in the hope of limiting floods, droughts, desertification and rising sea levels.
“But the window of opportunity is fast narrowing,” he told the delegates of about 190 nations.
“This is not a time for tinkering; it is a time for transformation,” he said. Despite signs of progress he is “deeply concerned that our collective action does not match our common responsibilities.
“We must act now,” he said.
….
Ban urged developed nations to “meet and exceed” a goal set in 2009 of mobilising at least $100bn a year, in public and private finance, by 2020 to help developing nations.
Ban Ki-moon didn’t explain, in the Guardian article, how giving him and his bureaucrats more money would help prevent global warming. Presumably the donors, once parted with their money, wouldn’t be able to afford as much gas for their cars, which might reduce their carbon footprint. However, given that UN eco-warriors seem to spend a lot of their time flying between climate conferences, their enlarged carbon footprints might more than compensate for the poverty constricted carbon footprints of the taxpayers who are paying their bills.
Think of the “unplanned” children!
Ki-moon needs to stop corrupting science and make a direct request for bureaucratic welfare. As with the multi-trillion dollar welfare system in America, it’s likely to help some but not all people who are indigent, homeless, or unidentified. Perhaps that’s the best outcome we can expect from a virtual monopoly.
The climateers are all about guilting and shaming the developed countries out of their dough, in addition to dismantling their cheap, reliable energy in favor of horribly expensive, and unreliable energy.
Scum.
Bardabunga volcano will have the final say it has been erupting for 100 days http://en.vedur.is/media/jar/Factsheet_Bardarbunga_20141210.pdf 30000 to 50000 ton of So2 every day Mr Moon should go and have a look and tell it to stop erupting
“Lima climate talks set for record carbon footprint……..’
http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/lima-climate-talks-set-for-record-carbon-footprint/ar-BBgyozJ?ocid=ansnewsap11.
I wouldn’t have believed everything that is going on at that UN Lima climate conference if I hadn’t read it in this article. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. A higher carbon footprint for thee, but not for me…..
Maybe it’s a testimony that ‘carbon footprinting’ is only ‘shadow boxing’
This is the aspect of the climate change scam that alot of folks I talk to just don’t connect. They have the opinion that it is purely a matter of science and nature because related policy enactments are low key in the media relative to the blaring sensational and emotion grabbing doomsday warnings. The media is careful not to connect the two in one story very often and treads even more lightly on all negative economic impacts to the grass roots populace. Most people are too myopic to see the implications and don’t see any connection between the UN, the EU and their American lifestyle, yet.
Sorry, Mods, should have phrased that as ‘catastrophic climate change issue’
Obviously, he needs to hire Gruber as a consultant to take the money first and make up excuses after the fact.
$100Billion and that is just the start of the Wealth Transfer plan and then ask, where are the funds to be allocated?
A review of the UN FCC Background Paper (1) entitled “INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL FLOWS TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE” provides the answers.
This paper describes (as but one of many “funds”) the establishment of a funding transfer vehicle entitled:
“RESOURCE ALLOCATION FRAMEWORK (RAF)
“China, India and the Russian Federation are likely to receive the most under the RAF formula, followed by Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, followed by a group of countries that includes Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Romania, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela (GEF, 2005b).”

And for what if the Nov 20th ’14 Science and Space Research Corporation (SSRC) prediction of “an important set of climate change predictions dealing with the coming cold climate epoch that will dominate global temperatures for the next thirty years” works out?

Maybe Ban Ki has looked at the current (24) and future (25) Solar Cycle forecast and wants the money in the bank sooner rather than later.

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful cultured pagan world empire.
Then the Roman Empire fell and for a thousand years every one was plagued, flea-bitten, and superstitious.
Then the Secular Humanists started the Renaissance, and the Atheists started the Enlightenment. Then they worked toward a nice cultured progressive world empire.
And so it is written into all of the history books. What about equality before the law, literacy and numeracy, free markets, the power of freedom when combined with virtue and self-control? What about limits on governments, and specifically enumerated individual liberties in the English speaking world?
Things like that get written out of the history books. Destroying and erasing countries – and even languages – is done under world empires with the flick of the wrist. Then they misattribute the achievements of the conquered and “unified” countries to the World Empire.
So UNESCO has been rewriting history for decades to lead up to this World Empire. But in the Bible, the World Empires are portrayed as ravenous beasts with many different types of heads – in other words, they are countries unnaturally forced together into aggressive, destructive beasts, devouring and “trampling the residue.” There is one more coming…”The kings of the earth committed fornication with the Harlot which sat upon the Beast.”
Jeez, all this ruckus and debt for decades, just because some dudes in scientist hats declared that computers can now predict the future (despite the question of if they could deal with the turn of the century), and a politician capitalized on it to put himself into the history books.
There was a comment here earlier on how the UN can’t do jack ****. And I have to agree. Does anyone here know about the predecessor of the UN? It was called the League of Nations. It was created with the premise of preventing another “Great war”. But as it turned out it didn’t prevent World War II. The situation only got worse and worse and one day Germany crossed Poland’s borders and World War 2 was born.
God knows what Russia is up to nowadays, it’s already claimed Crimea, Now that is way more scary than some non-existent “CAGW” or whatever it’s called today.
The League of nations couldn’t prevent WW2, The UN cannot prevent World war 3. Sanctions? Lol, it just makes the “offending” country more angry.
Just thought I’d share this, history tends to repeat itself, and this current situation is very similar to the situation as it was in the early 20th century.

The UN regularly proves its incompetence at doing what it was set up to do – keep peace.
I think the UN should be funded only by whatever money they can raise selling cookies door-to-door for two weeks out of the year.
Of course Abbott caved, to the humiliation of Australia:

Sad and pathetic.
I would just love to see his evidence to support the $billions that he claims these countries need to fight damage due to non-existent global warming. Does anyone ever make him show them the evidence? I doubt it.
