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.
Gemini AI did a pretty interesting job with that graphic, eh?

Does left wing loon Judge Kathy realize that this is all authorized by laws passed by duly elected Congresses and signed into law by duly elected presidents? What makes her think any lawsuit can stop the federal government from engaging in a Constitutional power of the federal government?
DOJ due to respond to Minnesota lawsuit seeking immediate stop to immigration enforcement surge
An important deadline arrives Monday in the legal standoff between Minnesota and the federal government, as the U.S. Department of Justice plans to respond to a lawsuit seeking an immediate stop to the surge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the state through a temporary injunction.
While Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday, the judge said the issue was too important to wait.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez is considering whether to grant an immediate temporary restraining order limiting ICE activities. She said last week she would not issue the temporary restraining order until she heard a response from the federal government.
The lawsuit was filed late last week by the state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The suit argues the unprecedented surge of an estimated 3,000 federal agents is endangering citizens. It accuses ICE of violating the First and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Oh, this should be good
According to the lawsuit, Minnesotans have been “unlawfully seized and been the victims of excessive force by federal immigration agents for exercising their First Amendment rights to observe or protest federal government conduct.”
They have no Right to get violent, threatening, or interfere with law enforcement. Looking at that link in the 1st paragraph
The Tenth Amendment protects states’ sovereignty and limits federal powers to those granted in the U.S. Constitution. It provides autonomy to the states in issues like education, elections and public safety. While Ellison is optimistic, some legal experts think the lawsuit is a long shot because it would be similar to telling the FBI it could not operate in the state.
I remember when Democrats, including Obama, sued over Arizona’s SB1070, the “show me your papers” law, and they all said that immigration was a federal power. And, it’s in the Constitution. It can be delegated to the states, but, it is not a power that the States have.
Meanwhile, this is hilarious
I wonder how many have defund the polices signs and bumper stickers?

It’s all fun and games when you think you’re Doing Something for the Earth, both because you want to look good (for insane cultists) and because you are kinda forced to do it by politicians. There comes a point when this makes no financial sense, kinda like how the yutes have realized that ordering delivery every day for most meals is a a Bad Idea, and now they’re on to Hamburger Helper
How Wall Street Turned Its Back on Climate Change
In January 2020, Larry Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, stunned the business world by declaring that he intended to use the trillions of dollars managed by his firm to address global warming.
“Every government, company, and shareholder must confront climate change,” Mr. Fink wrote, calling for “a fundamental reshaping of finance.”
A few days later, Mr. Fink arrived in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering, donning a scarf featuring a design of the “warming stripes,” a pattern that depicts 150 years of rising global temperatures.
Mr. Fink’s impassioned call to address climate change was the unofficial start of a movement. Nearly every major financial institution was soon pledging to reduce emissions, joining high-minded alliances designed to phase out fossil fuels and promising to support clean energy. Environmental, social and governance factors, known as E.S.G., became a defining feature of Wall Street investing.
Alas, the money and willpower and caring seems to have ended
But six years later, many of those Wall Street institutions have walked back or abandoned their commitments.
The alliances — like the Net-Zero Banking Alliance and the Net-Zero Asset Managers initiative — that were meant to steer investments toward clean energy and away from fossil fuels have largely fallen apart. Investors have withdrawn tens of billions of dollars each quarter from E.S.G. funds.
While U.S. investment in clean energy has boomed in recent years — reaching $279 billion last year — many large corporations have gone silent on climate change. On company earnings calls, mentions of words like climate and sustainability have plunged by 75 percent over the past year, according to a Bloomberg analysis.
And with President Trump back in office and using the presidency to promote fossil fuels and attack the clean energy industry, Wall Street’s retreat from climate action has coincided with American banks doubling down on coal, oil and gas projects.
The idea of all these companies and such are to make money. Are they making money off “green” energy and all the other stuff? The answer is apparently “no”. Anyhow, the rest of the article is a deep dive into how the climate investment scam rose and then fell. Oh, well, too bad.

The Fish Wrap wasn’t upset that the Biden DOJ was investigating Trump after he left office, raiding his home, searching through his wife’s lingerie, coordinating with state level Democrats to prosecute Trump, and so forth. Nor all the people who worked for Trump who were put in jail. Nor what the Obama admin did when Trump started running in 2015.
Under Patel, F.B.I. Scours Its Records to Discredit Trump Opponents
The F.B.I. has had many missions in the more than half-century since its founding director, J. Edgar Hoover, died. It has chased spies, foiled terrorist attacks, ushered in a modern era of innovation and decreased crime rates.
But under its current chief, Kash Patel, the bureau has added payback to its portfolio. Agents now scour the F.B.I.’s vast holdings to root out negative information about those who once investigated President Trump, according to current and former officials, lawmakers and lawyers representing some of those targeted.
Administration officials say it is an essential task in ending what they denounce as the “weaponization” of law enforcement by Democrats. Critics say it is little more than using federal law enforcement to carry out a partisan opposition research operation.
Almost from the moment Mr. Patel took over the bureau in February, F.B.I. personnel have been poring over case files, internal Justice Department correspondence and other sensitive materials to find documents intended to expose and discredit federal law enforcement officials who investigated Mr. Trump and his allies.
The material appears to be coming from at least three streams. There is the bureau’s production of files in response to longstanding inquiries by Republicans on Capitol Hill; documents Mr. Patel’s team has found through self-generated searches; and self-described whistle-blowers, including at least one from the F.B.I., who have passed on sensitive documents from Trump investigations, including grand jury information that by law is supposed to remain confidential.
In other words, they’re looking at real information on how members of the FBI, DOJ, and others used their power to go after Orange Man Bad, and the Times and Dems do not like this.
Much of it has related to Arctic Frost, the investigation the F.B.I. led into efforts by Mr. Trump and others to overturn the 2020 presidential election. That inquiry ultimately formed the core of the election interference case brought in Washington by Jack Smith, the special counsel who twice indicted Mr. Trump and is a frequent target of the president’s calls for retribution.
“Arctic Frost was a runaway train that swept up information from hundreds of innocent people simply because of their political affiliation,” Mr. Grassley said last month.
The Times didn’t care about those people. They were collateral damage on the way to Get Trump.
Mr. Grassley has requested information about Mr. Smith’s inquiry since 2022, and repeatedly expressed frustration with the Biden administration’s refusal to turn over internal documents. That padlocked door has been kicked open by Mr. Patel.
The Times doesn’t seem to have a problem with the Biden admin hiding info from Congress. Anyhow, Perhaps the Times should have been advising Democrats to not do what they did, because payback is a bitch. The Times actually cheered the partisan investigations of Trump and his people on.
