EU pledges billions in climate aid

Posted 2 hours 59 minutes ago

Updated 2 hours 24 minutes ago

European leaders have pledged to provide more than $10 billion over the next three years to help developing nations adapt to climate change.

The money will go towards what is being called a 'fast start' fund, to help poor nations combat rising sea levels, deforestation, water shortages and their own carbon output.

The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown held a joint press conference with the French President Nicolas Sarkozy to announce what their two countries would be contributing.

"Today I can announce, and President Sarkozy is announcing, our contributions as Britain and France to this fund," he said.

"Our contribution will be at least 1.5 billion pounds over the three years and we also believe that Europe will be able to show today it will pay its share of the $10 billion fund."

50pc cut recommended

Meanwhile, a first draft text seeking to break deadlock on a new climate pact at UN talks has recommended the world should at least halve world greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 with rich nations taking the lead .

According to the text, proposed by Michael Zammit Cutajar of Malta who chairs talks on long-term action by all nations at the December 7-18 meeting on a new climate pact in Copenhagen, Parties shall cooperate to avoid dangerous climate change.

The text offered a range for global cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels, of either at least 50, 85 or 95 per cent by 2050.

More than 110 world leaders will attend a closing summit on December 18.

The numbers were bracketed, showing there is no agreement.

"Parties should collectively reduce global emissions by at least [50, 85, 95] per cent from 1990 levels by 2050 and should ensure that global emissions continue to decline thereafter," according to the text.

It also offered options for rich nations' cuts in emissions starting at 75 per cent and ranging up to more than 95 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050.

It said developed nations should cut their emissions on average by at least 25-40 per cent, ranging up to about 45 per cent by 2020, also from 1990 levels.

Developing nations led by China and India have in the past rejected accepting a halving of world emissions by 2050 unless the rich take far tougher action to cut their emissions.

[AtheistArchives]

The text said developing nations should make a "substantial deviation" to slow the growth of their emissions by 2020, or slow the growth by 15-30 per cent below projected levels by 2020.

So many parallels with Ozone depletion from CFCs. The consensus was O3 was being damaged by CFCs. The deniers came out in droves but thanks to science and it's unbiased and opinion smashing methods, made global governments finally act. AGW is much more difficult to tackle since we have so many fossil fuels being burned by so many and deforestation, methane seeps, tundra melting and other positive feedback loops. Not too hopeful for fast enough action from the masses, even if we all agreed.

People...don't listen to the 'skeptics' on this issue...they are simply oil company representatives planting this bullshit. Why would anyone purposely argue that we should use more energy rather than less...how can using less fossil fuels and more renewable energy be bad? Why would these people troll You Tube to write this bullshit all over the place? These 'made up' people posting on here just try to discredit the 'science' referring to oil company set-up critic websites.

This clip might change your life. It’s simple but the knowledge on it is interesting

What does the uploader think of agenda 21? .

Suzuki I don't trust. He is very very partisan.

But Attenborough - that is serious. He is a remarkable man, and I highly respect him.

@pharoe316 Good. Then I'll gladly work in politics to fight climate change and to put excess polluters into prison for life if they refuse to pay for the damage they do to the world economy and our survival. And, therefore, you extreme anti-socialist libertarian conservatives have absolutely nothing to complain about me getting paid a lot of money. You hypocrites cannot condemn a climate scientist or Attenborough for making money, and then say oil and coal executives don't owe anyone...

@mphello .. where Y'>X, then it follows that X'>X. Hence, if we now amplify X by a factor, A>1, leaving Y' unchanged, then N" = A*X' - Y' will be much bigger than N'=A*X - Y'.

[mphello]

Great YouTube channel, Atheist Archives! And thank you for posting that multipart video on Global Dimming. It really scared me, because it suggest that the forces that cause warming must be GREATER than we had previously thought in order to counterbalance the forces that cause cooling, which also must have been greater than previously thought, in order for the NET effect to be where we are today. i.e. if X, Y are positive variables, and N = X-Y, is what we thought, but now realize N = X'-Y'..

Global Warming equals Global Fraud equals Global Government.

The climate change movement is now dead. The idea that the is anything unusual about this period of time is over. Cap and Trade is dead. Western Scientists are jumping ship (though many are trapped in the institutions). Scientists outside of the western institutions never bought the line. The most hilarious part is the utilization of climate models as a basis for public policy....bizarre. I guess with mainstream media platforms on board you can push bullshit up hill a little longer.
