International climate talks ended in Bonn, Germany today with little progress made on key issues and stark divisions remaining between rich and poor nations. The disappointing outcome saw delegates unable to reach agreement on how best to move forward for higher level talks in November and less than one month ahead of the Rio+20 Earth Summit in Brazil.

Celine Charveriat, advocacy and campaigns director at Oxfam International, told Reuters that discord in Bonn was evidence of "some pretty substantive areas of disagreement." Further quoted in The Guardian, she said: "No progress was made to deliver the financial support that the world's poorest and most vulnerable need to deal with the growing impacts of climate change."

This whole "concept" of some nations saving other nations does not pass the smell test. The continent of Africa is compiled of 54 independent countries and each and every one is ruled by different governments. Which would actually give aid to their people? Probably none. Taxpayer money from around the world to give to the dictator in charge. Not a good move. And other countries around the globe, much of the same.

Thank heavens there is "disagreement"!!!!!!!!!!

If there was NOT disagreement, we would all be SCREWED by the politicians and so-called scientists who work together to SUCK taxpayer dollars for their continued activities.

Look in the third paragraph of any article ... "more study is needed" ... junk science welfare.
