The United States, the number two emitter of greenhouse gases behind China, helped the mood by promising to back a $100 billion a year fund for poor nations from 2020.
"If each and everyone does a little bit more than we can do this," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. She said the European Union was willing to do more but would not act alone.
Merry christmas to all german taxpayers! (because it's going to be them who'll foot the biggest chunk of the bill).

Can't disagree with this at all. What is wrong with people that would help pay for the world's poorest and most expose to climate related environmental damage to help mitigate that damage, adapt, and produce clean energy. What a freaking waste of money. I'll gladly cut that fund so that my taxes are lower which allows me to buy more crap.
And really who cares if its the rich countries that started this problem and emitted ALL of the historical emissions that have gotten us to this point over the past 150 years. I'm sure as hell not going to pay for it. Those developing world people should have been more on the ball and been more responsible while we colonized them.
