EXCLUSIVE: The UN-funded financial arm of the Paris Agreement has labelled the killer coronavirus an “opportunity” to raise funds for climate change and “relaunch economies”.

The UN-funded financial arm of the Paris Agreement has labelled the killer coronavirus an “opportunity” to raise funds for climate change action and “relaunch economies on low-emission, climate-resilient trajectories”. The extraordinary statements have been published in a document by the Green Climate Fund – an international organisation with a $10.3 billion budget .

” The Green Climate Fund went on to suggest that climate change was a threat comparable to COVID-19 which has killed 165,000 people, infected millions more and ravaged global economies. “The COVID-19 pandemic and the global response required to stem it shows the importance of acting together to solve unparalleled threats to people and our planet,” the GCF said. “The far-reaching impacts of COVID-19 are a stark reminder of the catastrophic implications the world faces if we don’t.

Unprecedented emergency on hold for now

My News Ltd editors didn't shy away from an opportunity to either bury climate reporting, or tell us to 'balance' a climate story by quoting a sceptic, or to suggest that my reporting climate science was 'propaganda'. My ed David Fagan laughed at the idea of questioning coal.

NAFF OFF. 😡

Got credible link to the source of that information? The GFC is based in Korea, Incheon not Paris.

More nails in the coffin. UNfraud. Take the opportunity of the WHO PlannedemicNotPandemic. The dots join up day by day. They think we are stupid.

Aren’t viruses opportunistic when things are down?

Canada sent $300 million LittlePotato

Time to defund the UN and WHO. No longer able to do the job they were set up to do. Over paid bureaucrats who probably all have numbered accounts somewhere.

Green Climate Fund – an international organisation sent $157.5 million (AUD) to China in December despite the country planning on increasing emissions by several thousand mega tonnes of CO2 by 2030.

funny how the far left aren't protesting outside Chinese Embassys and demanding they cut all co2 emissions, it's like as if they have granted them permission ClimateEmergencyHoax

Agenda 21

The UN, WTO & WHO will be broken up after this issue.

Australia must look towards 'modern manufacturing' in a post COVID-19 world | Sky News AustraliaAustralia should use the immediate post-COVID-19 period to develop a bigger 'high tech, flexible manufacturing industry,' according to former Fortescue CEO Nev Power.\n\nManufacturing used to the bastion of the Australian economy but has declined significantly over the past fifty years.\n\nManufacturing made up nearly 30 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the 1960s, however the sector now has slumped to around six per cent of GDP as many businesses move offshore.\n\nThe federal government has established the COVID-19 Coordination Commission to identify how business, including manufacturing, can thrive in a post-COVID-19 world.\n\nMr Power, who is part of the government's commission, told Sky News the sector must embrace'high tech, flexible manufacturing that is modern and attracts a sort of investment we need.'\n\n'In the early days, post pandemic, we will have a low dollar, disrupted supply chains which create opportunities for local manufacturing and we will have amply supply of labour from people that have been displaced from industries that will take longer to start up,' he said.\n\nI think there is an opportunity to retrain people into those roles and for us to take advantage of that time post the virus when there is that demand for local manufacturing.'\n\n No, Australia does not have a large enough domestic market to sustain its own high tech and manufacturing industries. It would be stupid for small countries like Australia to go global decoupling. covid19australia 1. Textiles 2. Buy out Holden: change history electric cars 3.
