Just our money, nothing to see here…
President Obama has officially announced the U.S. will contribute $3 billion to a international pool of money aimed at helping developing countries deal with the impact of climate change.
In a speech delivered at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, Obama said the money would paid into the “Green Climate Fund” and used to help “vulnerable communities,” build early warning systems, storm surge defenses and other “climate-resilient” infrastructure.
The Washington Examiner reported Friday that Obama was expected to make the announcement in order to increase support from other countries in advance of next year’s climate talks in Paris, France.
