text: Who pays? Oh, you guessed it before I told you. The West pays. The third world (UN code: non-Annex-I parties) thinks it will collect, so it will always vote for the UNs insane proposals. But the UNs bureaucrats will actually get all or nearly all the money, and will decide how to allocate what minuscule fraction they have not already spent on themselves. As a senior UN diplomat told me last year, The UN exists for only one purpose: to get more money. That, and that alone, is the reason why it takes such an interest in climate change. The draft says: Developed-country Parties shall provide developing-country Parties with new and additional finance, inter alia through a percentage of the gross domestic product of developed-country Parties. And, of course, The extent of participation by non-Annex-I parties in the global effort to deal with climate change is directly dependent on the level of support provided by developed-country Parties.
