Selected Excerpts:
Morano: ‘The money is going to countries that are best at keeping people in poverty. Because, obscenely, this will attempt to keep countries like Brazil and India from developing to their potential.
So countries, instead of giving vaccines, humanitarian aid, are going to reclassify that aid to meet the climate fund obligations. And a lot of development experts think the poor countries will suffer even more.’
Stuart Varney asks this Climate Fund is a done deal:
Morano: ‘It can be stopped by the next President. Both our entire domestic and international climate policy will depend on the next president’s direction…
This UN climate fund is committing us to essentially helping poor countries stay poor. We are going to subsidize governments that are best at keeping people poor. That is obscene. And we are going to slow down their fossil fuel development. They will not be able to emulate the wealthy Western nations. They are going to have to stay poor in order to fight ‘global warming.’
…
‘China is laughing at us. They are building coal plants every several weeks and going to full industrialization.
They love these climate policies in the West because we are tying our own economies back while China can continue unfettered.
There is a movement out now calling for ‘planned recessions’ in order to fight global warming. The UN IPCC wants to redistribute wealth by climate policy’

Cass Sunstein: Climate ‘Reparations’ for Poor Nations? Not So Fast: As part of any agreement, poor nations, such as Brazil and India, want wealthier countries to pay them a lot of money, both for scaling back their emissions and for adapting to a warming climate…Their argument has traction. Wealthy nations have agreed, in principle, to provide $100 billion by 2020 to the United Nations’ Green Climate Fund. Last year, President Barack Obama pledged to give $3 billion. — and in Paris, poor nations seem poised to demand far more, perhaps even trillions.
And if the real goal is to help poor nations, the argument for specific funds to combat climate change seems weaker than the argument for a general cash grant, which poor countries could use however they like (for example, to combat malaria). …The corrective justice argument also conflates current generations with past generations. Much of the current “stock” of …

Meanwhile, co-signatory Mr Betts, from the bushwacks up in Vermont, feels that the letter did not go far enough. Well, they are a bit whacky up there!
Of course, Mr Betts has lots of good reasons for this, at the last count 606,100!
As his website states:
The most recent grant from the NSF, which remember is a Federal Agency, is this one:
http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0529797&HistoricalAwards=false
The amount awarded of $606,100 appears to relate to the position as at June 2010, which would equate to an annual rate of about $120,000. Nice work if you can get it!
As he states, he has been the recipient of long term grants from the NSF for 30 years, for instance between 2000 and 2005:

He has also been funded by NASA amongst others. But interestingly he mentions the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies, George Mason University. This is none other than COLA, part of Jagadish Shukla’s IGES group.
Now who would have imagined that? It’s a small world, isn’t it.

Warmist Alan Betts: [email protected]
A climate scientist from Vermont is among 20 environmentalists calling on the Obama administration to use federal racketeering laws to prosecute climate change dissenters…Alan Betts, a leading climate scientist from Pittsford, is among the letter’s signatories. Betts told Vermont Watchdog he believes opposition to man-made climate change involves organizational deceit worth investigating. “Bring them to court and make them face up,” Betts said. “Somebody downstream is going to have to pay the staggering costs of all the delays in taking action on climate change. The fossil fuel companies are now deeply culpable because of their deliberate deceptive strategies.”
