Sad News.... Crucial global climate fund facing ‘massive challenges’ Published on 09/08/2018, 9:12am Political divisions between rich and poor countries make the board of the UN climate fund ‘extremely difficult to work with’, says green growth chief The future of the UN’s major climate fund hangs in the balance, with a looming cash shortfall and a boardroom locked in conflict.
That is the assessment of international green leader Frank Rijsberman, in the most candid high-profile interview on the Green Climate Fund (GCF) since its board meeting collapsed last month.
Rijsberman is head of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), which elected former UN chief Ban Ki-moon as its president this year. The GGGI has worked closely with the GCF to help developing countries bypass development banks and gain “direct access” to climate finance. He told Climate Home News he wanted the fund to succeed but it faced “massive challenges”.
It’s most pressing issue was the need to convince governments to put in more cash, when the projects approved for grants or loans so far have barely started work.www.climatechangenews.com/2018/08/09/crucial-global-climate-fund-facing-massive-challenges/It was always about milking the USA into debt.

Ocasio-Cortez joins climate change protesters outside Pelosi’s office during first day on Capitol Hill news.google.com/topics/CAAqIggKIhxDQkFTRHdvSkwyMHZNRGxqTjNjd0VnSmxiaWdBUAE?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen“We need to tell her that we’ve got her back in showing and pursuing the most progressive energy agenda that this country has even seen,” Ocasio-Cortez said while standing in the middle of a group of around 200 protestors holding signs reading “Green Jobs For All.” The protesters wants Democratic leaders to put forward a "Green New Deal" that includes a swift transition to 100 percent renewable energy in line with findings of a recent report on climate change by United Nations.Hope they didn't sell their coats. Ratty, could you talk to them about how well that's worked out in Oz.

Ocasio-Cortez joins climate change protesters outside Pelosi’s office during first day on Capitol Hill [ Snip ] Hope they didn't sell their coats. Ratty, could you talk to them about how well that's worked out in Oz. If there was the slightest chance that Ocasio-Cortez or Pelosi could be swayed, I'd pay my own way .... no need for crowd funding.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46343103What's not to like about this report, in the Midlands they suggest the possibility of drier and warmer summers in 50 years time. This year we had a nice summer for a change. The public won't take any notice of this report but I worry about the politicians, we could shut down all the factories and ban all motor vehicles but it wouldn't make any difference to the worlds temperatures.

I've never lived in Britain, but I did live in coastal Alaska for 8 years. So I can absolutely identify with that statement Birder.

Thing is, it give a scary outlook to a period of time long enough away, it whitewashes any short period of coolness. Thus it allows them to call say, a five year run of bad winters, weather....because in the unprovable future THEY say it's going to be very hot. Meanwhile, none of them will be still working to take the flack for stupid headlines....
