Trump retreat on climate change creates major global funding shortfall, expert warns
The Trump administration’s retreat from global climate commitments is already punching holes in international efforts to combat climate change, creating funding gaps that other governments and private investors are unlikely to fill, a senior climate policy expert warned.
Ed Carr, director of the US office at the Stockholm Environment Institute, told Anadolu that Washington’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and sweeping cuts to climate-related programs are reverberating across the multilateral system.
“The US was a very large part of the funding for climate action around the world,” Carr told Anadolu. “That is something this administration controls. The Trump administration clearly is not going to spend money on this in any significant way, and that’s going to create huge gaps.”
President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly dismissed climate change as a “hoax” and more recently a “fraud,” moved swiftly after returning to office to dismantle US participation in international climate frameworks.
Huh, so those other government aren’t willing to pay their fair share? To put their money where their mouth’s are? They just wanted the US to do it? IE, the American taxpayer? Well, we’re no longer your piggy bank.
Carr said the impact is already visible inside the UN system.
He said that the World Meteorological Organization is expected to cut a significant number of staff positions, while the United Nations Environment Program is likely to face similar staff reductions and reductions in its climate-related work.
Why can’t others pay for it? How about those super rich folks who flew private jets to Brazil for COP30? One less mega-yacht each would go a long way. Funny how China isn’t jumping in. They don’t want to spend money, they want to get rich of the scam.
Anyhow, like most stuff, the funding that used to come from America mostly disappeared into the pockets of NGOs, lawyers, politicians, 3rd world warlords, etc, with very little being spent as intended.

And…? Is there a downside?
Trump’s 2nd term is going to be as bad as the first when covid killed 1 million Americans
His behavior is like they of a toddler with little emotional control
An invasion and occupation of Greenland because he didn’t get the prize he wanted? And blind obedience from his cult of personality he remains criticism free from his accolades.
The value of Greenland will increase with global warming,

Let me remind you. The Covid scam was not disclosed until President trump left office. Biden had 4 years to undo everything Trump. Biden did nothing. Why?
