This is the greatest grift in history.

If so, it's a collosal failure. As it says in the article, it's mostly loans. Grants are typically to support business from the donor country to do overseas projects (construction projects, etc.). It's basically business as usual.

the most responsible for global warming were obligated to provide compensation to the rest of the world.

> In 2009, these countries -- the United States, the European Union, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, Norway, Iceland, New Zealand and Australia -- committed to paying $100 billion per year by 2020.

More than that, they should be required to make the biggest cuts on emissions.

So we can't afford children anymore, shrink our populations, emissions and industries and are made responsible for climate issues , and as penalty judged to give them our last money. OK, and then? Will they then feed their many people themselves, build up an own capable industry with emissions for production of food, drinks, anti climate change measures, logistics and everything else? Unbelievable, their strange thoughts and logic. We are making all that environmental mess for our survival too but mainly for their survival, that those billions of poor people have something on the plates to eat, plastic buckets for carrying water from a river or so and some clothes on their bodies and a few practical things for their cottages' interior. You will soon learn the hard way to finally appreciate and love us few old bad white men.
