I found these facts fascinating...
President Donald Trump wants to stop contributing to the U.N.-managed Green Climate Fund, claiming that “nobody else is even close” to the $1 billion the U.S. has paid so far.
Yet other governments with smaller economies than the U.S. have invested significant amounts too.
The fund now has $694 million from Japan, $515 million from Britain, $460 million from Sweden and $420 million from Germany, in addition to contributions from dozens of other countries.
And per capita, some countries are promising much more than the U.S.
The U.S. pledges so far — including the $1 billion already paid and $2 billion promised by the Obama administration — add up to $9 per American, compared to $60 pledged from every Swede and $50 pledged from each Norwegian.
So he just lied in his speech yesterday, totally lied. The US does not pay more than anyone else.
