Junk Science Goes Global–
African nations want their piece of the pie, too.
African officials want the West to donate $1 billion annually to the continent to help fight global warming/climate change.
The AP reported, via Free Republic:
Africa contributes little to global warming but suffers disproportionately from its effects, the continent’s environment ministers said Friday, calling for more money and support from rich nations ahead of a landmark climate conference.
The ministers, meeting in Nairobi, said they will ask for funding from rich nations at December’s U.N. conference in Copenhagen of 190 countries.
They did not give a figure, but the U.N. says Africa needs at least $1 billion a year to manage the effects of climate change such as sinking islands, changing farming techniques and even relocating people from areas affected by extreme weather.
