It was never about the climate as far as Africa was concerned!
If they were really worried about climate change, African leaders would be foregoing the benefits of fossil fuels. Instead they would rather have our money!

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
If the entire world was really worried about climate warming as an existential crisis and global emergency it would really eliminate fossil fuels and their use all the way down to zero emissions. But, apparently they hold dear our ability to transport ourselves and all of the materials needed to make the transition to renewables and to electric transportation. A contradiction, or an admission…or both?
This is ironic.

Correct link I hope
Good!
Long overdue.
Charity is a multi-billion industry and full of highly paid executives with perks, pensions and paybacks from third-party contractors some of which are owned by the Charity bosses.
The American Red Cross is a 10,000+ organization with the top person getting salary, bonuses, incentives, deferred compensation, and retirement of $709,164.
I suppose this is below what she would get if she ran a “for-profit” company of the same size and complexity.
However, I do wonder about such numbers when most families are getting by on a tenth of this. I tend to contribute locally, say to the search and rescue team.
The issues in this post – save Africa and the planet — never seem to get better regardless of the money being poured into them. I recall from the 1950s having missionaries visit our church and getting the quarters and $ in the collection baskets after telling us stories of the starving children in an African village.
70 years later, nothing has changed.
Aid is an industry and if they solved the problems they would be out of a job. Same with the racism industry etc.
“Feed to Breed”.
Foreign aid is the transfer of wealth from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. Here in South Africa our government makes policies depending on what funding is up for grabs. Global warming and ‘renewables’ are an easy touch – a grifter’s dream – the West is positively demanding we take their money along with their insane ideas. Always behind the times, our cadres (urged on by the usual academic, socialist and progressive nitwits) have latched on to the scam just as it is becoming increasingly (blindingly) obvious that utter catastrophe lies that way. At least we won’t cover half the country in useless solar panels and hideous windmills – 90% of the money will be siphoned off into the pockets of elite political, bureaucratic and woke private sector opportunists intent on subsidy farming. Meanwhile, we were pioneers in the development of Light Modular Reactors – the only real solution to the problem of supplying energy to African development. Not that I’ve got anything against coal, oil or gas.
1st world solutions for 3rd world problems.
The Bloomberg piece reads like an IPCC media special “The unprecedented heatwaves that swept the planet this year, along with melting glaciers and worsening floods and storms have added weight to demands for reparations from developing countries.” This BS as even the IPCC in the deeply buried parts of its report acknowledges. Why push their story uncritically?
‘African leaders say industrialized countries should pay to save the planet rather than expecting them to forego oil and gas development.’
Well, y’all just go ahead with oil and gas development.
What kind of ‘leaders’ go to meetings in another country hat in hand? I am embarrassed for them.
So it looks like fracking is dead again, probably for a generation as Labour oppose it too. Truss and Kwarteng were our only hope but they f**ked it up.
Well I am not so sure they did. Increasingly it’s dawning on many that the market being worried about debt to GDP ratio, was manufactured, especially as Japan’s ratio is twice that of the UK. Liz simply wasn’t part of the team. Sunak was always intended to follow Boris and stabbed at the right moment.
Already being reported that the new government might not have to put up taxes anyway. Our future has WEF written all over it. Digital currency not too far away.
Yes, Sushi has WEF written all over him. Expect him to be allowing much more immigration from India to help his fellow Indians with cheap labour.
Quite right too. The developed countries have banged on about CO2 and now the chips are down we want to buy ffs from Africa. We can’t pay them anyway, because we are all broke.
The money is part of the socialist UN driven wealth redistribution plan and a key element of the plan to destroy capitalism as outlined in 2016 by a Senior UN Rep:
The United Nations has been one of the organizations leading the manmade climate change push. The paragraph below, from the February 10, 2015 Investor’s Business Daily article “U.N. Official Reveals Real Reason Behind Warming Scare” seems to state the goal clearly.
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism. “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.
It has never been about ‘saving the planet’ but as stated, “to change the economic development model……..” ‘:
This article seriously confuses funding for mitigation, adaptation and “loss and damage”. Here is my quick overview:
https://www.cfact.org/2022/10/14/cop27-hopeless-hopeful-money-will-dominate-the-discussion/
COP27 could be fun to watch if you know what to watch for.
This program is insidious colonialism.
As has been pointed out about foreign aid, it helps NO ONE. It’s not just a waste of money; it is destructive on the countries it is given to. Ever wonder why in 50 years, ‘developing’ countries have never developed? Largesse from the industrialized West prevents local development. Why build a textile plant when you are getting shiploads of garments from the West?
The delegates at the Africa Climate Adaptation Summit in Rotterdam should have been imprisoned for crimes against humanity.
Quite right. Noted Irish saint and tax avoider Bonio gave away lots of mosquito nets to people in Africa. No thought for the local people who made mosquito nets and now had no customers thanks to him.
Another major culprit for that is Oxfam, accepting donations of clothes in its UK charity shops and flogging them in Africa to the detriment of the local garment industry.
They have always been trying to get money, but have now found a new excuse. Why can they just not be honest instead of jumping on the “climate change” bandwagon?
And why are they wasting the money they do get on wind farms and solar instead of reliable coal, gas and nuclear power plants?
