At least Canada has some common sense. The rest are trying to figure out how to steal money from the rest of the world.
Delegates at the conference will also be hammering out the details of a plan to administer the Green Climate Fund, money that is to help poor countries deal with climate change.
The fund is expected to grow over the next eight years to eventually distribute about $100 billion a year. However, it is still unclear where all of that money will come from and how it will be distributed.
In addition to the usual international development funds from the West, proposals include a carbon surcharge on international shipping and on air tickets, as well as a levy on international financial transactions.

Now Sharp Solar has warned that it is “reviewing our presence in the UK” in a private briefing document for the Prime Minister seen by The Daily Telegraph.
It has already cut the number of jobs at its Welsh factory from 1,000 to 500, as countries across Europe reduce their support for the green technology.

The US also is abandoning 14,000 wind turbines because it is not fiscally sustainable. The cost to benefit ratio is horrible. It just simply doesn't work
