    Your not looking real hard then.

    After this fund you will notice there are other funds.

    "Australia is committed to continuing to provide ongoing support to developing countries, delivering its fair share of the agreed long-term financing goal"

    Australia has a senior position at table talks (unless the new government withdraws). The UNFCCC view is 10% of carbon taxes is part of that funding, this is their financing assumptions:

    Ages ago I posted something on some thread (I could not be stuffed looking) about the agreement in Cancun. Australia made a committment to the $100b budget that represented close to 10% of future carbon tax revenues at the time. That was the UN meeting where the officials burned all that carbon on their first class flights to attend a meeting at a luxury holiday resort.

    If you still believe there is nothing to this, here is an article from september 23 2013:

    If there is nothing to the above,what is Mark Butler prattling on about. It might be time to DYOR.

    Cheers
