From The Metro:
A total of 20 nations pledged up to 410 million dollars (£247 million) a year in 2001, resulting in a pot that should be worth well over 1.6 billion dollars (£963 million). But only 260 million dollars (£157 million) has been paid into two United Nations funds earmarked for the purpose according to the latest figures, the BBC World Service investigation said.
The EU said the money was collected in "bilateral and multilateral deals", but was unable to provide data to back up the claim...
Artur Runge-Metzger, the senior climate change negotiator for the European Union, said the EU had done what it promised to do. "We can say we met the promise - climate finance has really been stepped up," he told the BBC. But he admitted the EU was unable to provide data to show it did pay the money. "It's sometimes very hard to say what is the climate bit of this financing."
Glorious. Two massive frauds exposed simultaneously.

It's par for the course for politicians, and EU politicians in particular, to be on the take. I am more surprised and dismayed by the discovery that scientists have been hiding data (not to mention fiddling it).
That's a lot of money. What was it actually used for? Can't fathom that bit out.
> What was it actually used for?
Encouraging "Trade with Columbia"?
Maybe it was used for all the lavish expense reimbursements doled out to MEPs along the lines of the outrageous takings done by the MPs here. Someone has to pay for their loyalty to the EU, may as well be us taxpayers. What better than to dictate and fleece the same ones being dictated to.
"What was it actually used for?"
Nothing, it probably never existed in the first place and the original promise was simply wishful thinking and bullshit.
"It's sometimes very hard to say what is the climate bit of this financing," Mr Runge-Metzger added.
Oh well, life in general is so hard. Perhaps Mr Runge-Metzer needs to have a little sit-down while mummy kisses him and makes it all better.
Why are the Police not involved in this naked corruption ?
climate change is all about money, and they lie because they fool alot of people. do some homework on it and you will see everything is fake. it all works towards making certain people very rich and gives them control.
