"Britain gives millions in 'climate aid' to tackle flatulent Colombian cows... plus £31m to Turkish wind farms and funding for talks with Kenyan 'rain-makers'"
Millions of pounds of British taxpayers’ money has been spent on a scheme aimed at reducing the flatulence of Colombian cattle, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The initiative aimed to improve animal diets by cultivating trees and plants on their grazing lands – in doing so reducing the amount of methane escaping through belching and flatulence.
A £15million grant to ranchers and other organisations in the South American country was part of a £2.9billion package of ‘climate aid’ to developing countries which critics called ‘ludicrous’.
As well as being seen as a waste of money, the scheme has darker undertones, with The Mail on Sunday learning that the recipients, Colombian ranchers’ organisation Fedegan, has been linked to a murderous paramilitary group.
Our investigation unearthed:
A total of £14million of climate aid finance to projects in Uganda, despite the Government recently stopping all aid to the country because of corruption.
£31million of British money going to Turkey – a middle-ranking economy – to help develop geo-thermal and wind power.
The Department for International Development (DFID) funding meetings between tribal ‘rain-makers’ and meteorologists in Kenya.
'A waste of money': Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg argues 'climate aid' should be cut before services in the UK
'A waste of money': Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg argues 'climate aid' should be cut before services in the UK are targeted
Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said: ‘After an Autumn Statement where people are making significant cuts, to have a £2.9billion budget for a random collection of projects which have questions hanging over them as to whether or not they are corrupt is just an extraordinary waste of money."

This is not from a comedy script of the BBC executives in W1A, this is real and uses real money, real hardworking families' taxpayer money.
Our Oxbrdige clique of clowns actually gathered in a committee meeting room with biscuits and coffee paid for by the taxpayer and approved this.
What is significant about it is not just the waste, because "hell yeah" the Oxbridge clique waste lots of our money on their expenses, their subsidised House of Commons bars and canteens and other things too.
What is really significant about it is that this is the W1A Oxbridge mindset that rules our country and that no one dares to challenge, just like no one in W1A dares to challnege the nonsense in their meetings.
Farage has challenged this W1A elite mindset, he has said that the people have had enough, he has said that the elite emperor from Oxbridge in W1A has no clothes and the people are laughing and voting UKIP. The elite emperor has gathered together all the courtiers, media and teenage whizzkids available and has asked to visit Russell Brand, the court jester, for advice on how to stop the people's revolution that will end the W1A incompetent mindset.
