Socialist President of Bankrupt France Pledges $1 Bil for Global Warming

Someone obviously read Obama’s handbook on governing.

Crisis-hit France is “sick”, the country’s new economy minister said.

“France is sick. It’s not well. We have to describe the situation as it is,” Emmanuel Macron told French radio.

Added to its economic woes, the country is weighed down by a political crisis that has seen President Francois Hollande plumb record lows in opinion polls and a shock cabinet reshuffle in August to purge dissenters.

The government’s unpopularity “is due to a lack of results”, said Macron.

But President Hollande, the garden gnome of European politics, has the cure. More Global Warming ecoscam spending.

French President François Hollande announced that France will contribute $1 billion to a near-empty global fund to help developing nations adapt to the effects of climate change as he spoke at a United Nations climate summit on Tuesday.

“France will contribute a billion dollars over the next few years,” Hollande said.

Previously, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had been the only leader to make such a large contribution, pledging $1 billion over four years in July to the fund known as the Green Climate Fund.

At least Germany has the money, which is more than France has.

Hollande said. “There will have to be a new pricing system for carbon which will have to serve as a signal for the way we use it. We have to bring into play what finance has in terms of imagination and shift to it to serve the good of planet. We need to define a new economy for the world.”

He has failed miserably at the current economy. Might as well try a new one.

    What would benefit the planet would be to line all the socialist up against a wall. You know 1 billion dollars would go a long way to turfing out the Muslims in France. March them down to Marseille, and shuttle them across to North Africa and dump them off. How much could that cost?

    Will the Europeans ever realize their socialist leaders are self-serving idiots who have only their own interests in mind?

      Socialists get elected by buying the votes with the taxpayers money.

      Why do you think obama is so eager to “share” the wealth ?

    Re the accompanying photograph: I know this is a dumb question, but are there any photographs of Hollande that don’t convey that he’s a blithering idiot? Does Hollande know what he looks like, or is he as blind to that as he is to the economics of bankruptcy, one of whose principles is that you can’t donate money you don’t have, unless someone else gives it to you?

    Does France still have a guillotine? If not they should build one pronto.

    Another Don Quixote tilting at the windmill of global warming. Has the whole world lost it’s mind? While carbon emissions have increased 13% during the past 16 years, global temperatures have actually fallen, not gone up. All this global warming hysteria has done is to load our industries down with useless regs so that they were forced to move to China which has no regs at all. As a result more pollution has been emitted into the global atmosphere. And foolish Western nations, who fell for this phony global warming scam, are bankrupt and their citizens have no jobs. As PT Barnum said, “there’s a fool born every minute.” But how did they manage to fool entire nations? It’s true. Most of us are useless idiots.

    hollande is the white version of obama. So beware.

    “the garden gnome of European politics” and we have the scarecrow in the WH. two peas in the same pod. France is already at the bottom of its economic life and our clown is doing the same thing to America. This is what clowns who know nothing about both economics and the military got to tun their respective countries

    with the help of the useless – or shall I say the useful idiots with the same results for both countries. Climate change is the new religion, it has no basis in fact but a lot of zealot believers.
