We Need Money To fight Global Warming

Posted by BLOGASSAULT on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 7:00:28 PM
   Bangledesh announced today that rich countries need to to give them $10 Billion dollars to battle climate change. Okay...
 
Bangladesh said Tuesday it would need 10 billion dollars from rich countries in the next four years to offset the effects of climate change -- double its original estimate.

The government had previously said it would seek five billion dollars at next month's climate summit in Copenhagen to help it adapt to increased flooding, cyclones and droughts.

But Environment Minister Hasan Mahmud told AFP that as one of the countries worst affected by climate change, Bangladesh had re-evaluated its adaptation needs.

"We need at least 10 billion dollars in the next four years to adapt to and mitigate the impact of climate change in our country," Mahmud said.
 
   Well, why not. We are printing money like there is no tomorrow. What's another $10 Billion? Besides, we don't know where half the money we are giving out is going anyway!
 

Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 9th Congressional District, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the website set up by the Obama Administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There's one problem, though: There is no 9th Congressional District in Arizona; the state has only eight Congressional Districts.

There's no 86th Congressional District in Arizona either, but the government's recovery.gov Web site says $34 million in stimulus money has been spent there.

   With nearly $1 trillion dollars getting handed out all over the country, I guess some of it is going to get lost...or something.
