Michael Bloomberg steps in to help fund U.N. climate body after Trump withdrawal

Nice!

Be nice for other billionaires to assist too!

That's fine. Better he waste his own money than force taxpayers to part with theirs.

We are certainly going to get a list of things that appointed billionaires will tell you taxpayers will have their money spent on.

Blacklabel....are suggesting a billionaire media mogul is a "leftist " ?

Are you suggesting climate science has a left/right political dimension. ?

Climate science is established science.

When big oil like "Shell " accept the science and at least pay lip service to it, you would imagine the results are in.

Trump would change his tune depending on who pays him.

And billionaires are not leftists either.

NY showing the world what it means to step up.

I like the symbolism, too; there are surely few states that hate the felon in chief as much as NY.

It’s my opinion about this topic that people who care about such things can pay for them. Not our tax money. This could start a good trend if we make a list and assign people to pay based on what their “cause” is.

Yes. As he was a Democrat candidate for president.

for a very short time, but still.

I like the symbolism, too; there are surely few states that hate the felon in chief as much as NY.

i like this NY symbolism:

“The New York Police Department has announced that, for the first time in 30 years, there were zero shooting victims reported in New York City over a 5-day period.”

Hate all you want, the citizens love him and what he causes to happen and not happen.

The last time New York voted red was 1984.

Good for him, Bloomberg picks up the tab. How many from Davos are willing to do the same?

Bloomberg is a good man.

Donald "trumped" by Bloomberg...

More MAGA-losing and humiliation...

Better get used to it...

Trump made Bloomberg pay instead of the American taxpayer, that’s a win!

Obviously he has money to burn.

How many NDA did he force the UN's female staff to sign before he provides funding?

Trump made Bloomberg pay instead of the American taxpayer,

No need for false claims. Trump does not produce the air we breathe.

Hey Trump people, do you realize that two major hurricanes hit a major Trump state in the east and did a lot of damage? Cal has forest fires from climate change. Florida has destruction on the coast from major storms because of climate change. Climate change does not care if you are a Hillary or Trump person. It destroys both. Hurricanes don't turn away and they don't fear Trump when they hit Trump states in the south. It will continue and no one of any party can stop it (but MTG says weather is controlled by Hillary's remote control)

they control the weather

How did Trump make Bloomberg pay?

it’s the reason the entire article exists.

Trump won’t pay so Bloomberg will have to.

Thus he made Bloomberg pay for it, not the taxpayer.

its pretty simple to understand.

Trump knew if he withdrew from the Paris Accord Bloomberg would cough up. I guess Trump is psychic.

Guess he is?

He knew someone else would pay and look what happened?

Someone else did, and it was Bloomberg.

He knew someone else would pay and look what happened?

No, he did not and Trump has already expressed his view that climate change is a hoax. He could not care less about it.

Exactly! So we don’t care who pays (or if anyone at all pays) as long as it’s not the American taxpayer.

winning!

So we don’t care who pays

The Japanese government is paying for all those sea and river walls to deal with rising sea levels. Do those concrete structures on trees? No, they are paid for with Japanese tax and Trump people living in Japan pay for that as well with their tax from living in Japan. It's an environmental cost that is coming from the Japan-based tax payer. Thank god I'm living in Japan with sane government policies for infrastructure from collected tax.

Climate science is established science.

Don’t make me laugh!
