That's an interesting hypothesis (or movie plot), but could you fill in some of the details for me?
You're saying that basically all the countries of the world have put their differences aside and come together at the UN to agree a secret plan behind the scenes, with the aim of adding to the taxation of their own citizens and achieving a nefarious goal of... something other than helping developing countries fund clean energy projects. Could you explain what that something is?
Oh, and these conspiring countries have also agreed that China and India shouldn't have to pay anything, because maybe those countries are the global puppet masters pulling all the strings, right?
- narrator 7y agoAn NGO with $100 billion a year to spend with little oversight charged with saving the world! That's going to be so not corrupt and perfectly administered. Speaking of which, who's going to go after them if they're corrupt?
- dane-pgp 7y agoSurely an NGO spending the money of 50 countries would likely have 50 times as much oversight as an NGO receiving money from just one country? It only takes one auditor in one country to blow the whistle and all the countries could retract their funding. Countries have no incentive to allow the NGO to, for example, funnel all the money to companies from a favoured country.
