Climate Finance

2010-01-13

I take my hat off to developed-country governments. They have to borrow money to survive. But their representatives still bossed Asians and Africans and Central-and-South Americans at the Copenhagen climate summit last month! And kept them from asking too many questions about the Climate Fund. This slush fund was what the 2009 meeting was all about.

At this time, for developed-country governments, climate change is a way to dominate the world. Their economies are desperate for money: “Fast start finance”. They’ve already robbed pensioners’ savings and little children’s piggy-banks. What to do…

Use climate disaster to start a new industrial revolution. Control its funding, and control the world! Carbon markets will channel money to developed-country stock brokers and money-lenders. Pollution-measuring machines and technology will rev up developed-country businesses. Their youth will become high-paid climate financiers and auditors. Universities in developed countries will teach climate finance and emissions reduction. Best of all, developed-country governments will monitor industries in EVERY poor and developing nation! And what role shall those outside the developed countries have in the climate revolution?

Poor and developing countries have a legacy of fighting climate disasters. Tribes that engineered a freshwater sea to cover Faiyum province and extend into the Libyan Desert. Nomads in Sistan who carved canal systems to support kingdoms on land that’s now a desert. Prehistoric dwellers in Yucatan who sank stone-lined wells inside Aguadas or water reservoirs. Inventors of the windlass that raised water more than one thousand feet in China. All these, they sustained their water and land. How are their descendants to share in our climate schemes?

All will be revealed by some long-winded representative, at a grand press conference. Right after bankrupt, developed-country governments borrow more money for the Climate Fund.

Two images of a Yucatan Aguada. One shimmering under the moon; the other a cross section of the showing two-types of stone-lined wells at the bottom of the ponds.
