Gormley to fund poor country's to combat climate change

ART6

As a country we are broke and we have been sold out to the EU and the IMF. None of that, apparently, bothers our Environment Minister. Ireland's contribution to global warming has dropped to unmeasurable levels due to our economic situation, yet this green madman still gives away our money:mad:

Whats 23 million when we are wasting billions thanks to the Greens

That's Ireland's contribution to the international climate fund, which was the basis on which the developing countries were willing to sign up to emissions deals.

Why? Because climate change makes the current problems look like a blip. Sure, if you don't accept the scientific evidence for climate change, you're going to see that as a waste of money, just as money spent on vaccination or fluoridation is money down the drain if that's your preferred brand of tinfoil hat - but if you don't have a problem accepting the science, then you'll realise that it's a very small stitch now to save far larger stitches later on. Frankly, I'm only sorry it's not more in exchange for a more stringent set of targets.

Some of these countries have better credit rating than us :rolleyes:

borrowing money at the high rates we do only to hand it over is insane

Thankfully we only have a few months of the greens left. We can have green issues sensibly dealt with by other parties and not specialist crackpots like we've had for the last 3 years.

Yes because all the other parties have such excellent sustainable policies...
