ETS A new Welfare Benefit

Its quite interesting how the Climate change debate has quickly turned into a debate around a 10 billion dollar fund to help developing nations cope with Policy around Climate Change: I find this very interesting:

At the Common Wealth Shin Dig in Trinadad and Tibago, (who picks these places?)

Anyway no state can give a clear direction in terms of what it is going to do, Our own PM is playing down the chances of him going, like he is scared or think it not important but at the same time, does hint at a possibility:

Lesson One Mr Key be straight up, are you going or not, and stick to it: I dont care if you sitting on the seat or not, we need a clear direction, we want to know what you think and what is your agenda: For goodness sake have a view and stick to it: acting like a little kid not wanting to hold your girl friends hand is crazy:

It took a French President and US President to give him a move along is crazy:

But the more interesting thing was everyone can agree on a developing countries fund of 10 billion, but no one can agree on who will pay for this, but French President wants 20 % ear marked for tackling deforestation:

The fund is a joke and just another Tax for Wealthy states to give money to Poor states, They money will be wasted and will also mostly come back to western bank accounts:

Countries need to stop dealing with huge problems with huge sums of money: Sharing of Informationa and Technology are the best resources for dealing with large scale problems:

Creating another welfare net, is just setting countries up to fail: Its an un necessary tax, and yet another huge sum of money that poor countries would be unable to pay back: Although this funds will un likely come with any condidtions: which makes it worse as then there is no accounability:

I am all for saving people and helping our neighbours: But this is a similar problem we deal with here but just on a much larger scale: At present those who cannot afford to live we give thema benefit, they get sucked into this life and just end up living int he motions: This is not much different: Although I do agree we need to address this problem, we can do it in other ways: Developing Nations need not have to rely on others to bail them out:

The other interesting thing is how much of that money potentially can go to India and China, both are developing countries, and both are the biggesst problems after the US: The issue really is both India and China are fast becoming a Super Nationa and Super Economy:

The fund is good but needs to be clear about who it is helping, what it is helping with and what out comes should come about from the fund:

Also other areas of sharing needs to be looked at such as Transfer of Technology adn Information:
