Apparently all those countries that lectured Trump on the Paris climate accord are too cheap to meet their own obligations

Yes, wealthy nations of the world who are now cheaping out on poor countries they PROMISED to help, tell us more about how evil President Trump was for pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord:

Climate change aid to poor nations lags behind Paris pledges https://t.co/UErYhNAiqf

— Guardian news (@guardiannews) May 3, 2018

From The Guardian:

Finance for poor countries to help them reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and deal with climate change is lagging behind the promises of rich countries, an Oxfam report finds.

While taxpayer-funded finance has increased, and the private sector has stepped up with some initiatives, the amount raised could still fall short of the goal of providing $100bn a year to the developing world by 2020.

The 2015 Paris agreement on climate change re-stated the $100bn financial target, but Oxfam says the taxpayer-funded finance from rich countries in 2015-16 stood at about $48bn, or nearly half the amount promised for 2020.

It’s almost as if the Paris agreement was all a big scam that was never going to accomplish anything much and President Trump was right for pulling the U.S. out of it.
