Der Ex-Bürgermeister von New York und 100Mrd €-reiche Bloomberg will die Finanzierungslücke füllen, die der President Of The United Sadists in die UN Klimakasse gerissen hat.

Nun geht aber leider aus dem Artikel nicht hervor, wieviel und WELCHE Lücke geschlossen werden soll.
Ist ursprünglich von der dpa. Und bei der dpa laufen nur "Journalisten" rum, die konsequent klimadoof und stolz drauf sind. Beim RND offenkundig ähnlich.

Kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass Bloomberg zB die – viel zu niedrigen, aber immerhin mehrere Milliarden $-Zahlungen an den #GreenClimateFund übernehmen will, womit ärmere Länder dann entweder Projekte für Anpassungsmaßnahmen oder Energietransformation finanzieren.
Mit seinen 100Mrd € könnte er den bisherigen, zu niedrigen, jährlichen US-Beitrag an den GCF ganz allein 30 Jahre lang stemmen und wäre immernoch unverschämt reich.

Außerdem hat er das Geld derzeit vermutlich bei Blackrock geparkt – und wenn er es denen wegnimmt, bedeutet das auch weniger Investment in Fossile Firmen.

A girl can dream.

RedaktionsNetzwerk DeutschlandMilliardär Michael Bloomberg will einspringen und Lücke der US-Klimazahlungen schließenAngesichts des geplanten Rückzugs der USA aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen will Milliardär Michael Bloomberg die dadurch entstehende Finanzierungslücke des UN-Klimasekretariats schließen. Als Klimabeauftragter der UN kündigte er an, den Kampf gegen die Klimakrise fortzusetzen – auch ohne Unterstützung der US-Regierung.

In the table regarding #climatefinance I miss the option "force fossil fuel companies and their shareholders to pay $100bn per year".

Why is this not on the agenda at all? 2022 brought additional $130bn profits for BigOil. That's a whole year for the recipients of the #GreenClimateFund. As grants, of course.

BigOIl lied, deceived, and murdered for 40 years. And their shareholders in this turbo capitalist self-destruction-project nodded gracefully. And are still doing it.
Forcing them to pay these $100bn/a agreed on in Paris does not let them off the hook. They need to be jailed too, all of them. But the money is needed to speed up replacing fossil fuel with renewables.

"Pledges so far represent a fraction of roughly $250 billion that developing countries would need every year by 2030 just to adapt to a warmer world, according to the United Nations. In addition to supporting climate adaptation, the fund also finances projects to help countries shift to clean energy."

Reuters · US pledges $3 billion for Green Climate Fund at COP28By Nandita Bose

"The #UnitedStates has pledged $3 billion to the #GreenClimateFund, Vice President Kamala Harris said on Saturday in Dubai at the U.N. #COP28 climate summit.

The latest pledge would be additional to another $2 billion previously delivered by the United States. The politically divided U.S. Congress needs to authorize the funding."

"Prolonged heatwaves, floods, raging wildfires and devastating hurricanes have struck these wealthier regions, leaving them bewildered.

Against this backdrop, it should surprise no one if richer nations redirect financing that was previously allocated for the Global South’s adaptation efforts, channelling it instead towards domestic recovery efforts."

The avarice of rich nations is something to behold.

"The £11.6bn is the #UK’s contribution to the $100bn of #ClimateFinance from wealthy countries that was pledged in 2009 at Cop15 in Copenhagen has still not been delivered by rich nations.
The UK spent £5.8bn over the previous five years up to 2021."

You don't realise how behind the UK is in payments until you realise the #GreenClimateFund was a pledge of $100 bn PER YEAR.

Germany is the first major donor to announce its contribution for the upcoming pledging conference for the #GreenClimateFund

Not sure that this number means, so I looked up:
GDP of OECD countries: $58 tn.
GDP of Germany: $ 4.3 tn (in USD), or 7.4% of the $ 58 tn.
Soooo, it's not unreasonable to expect Germany to contribute $7.4 billion into the global climate fund which needs to add up to $100bn?
