Commonwealth leaders have got behind a proposal from the UK and France to create a climate change fund that would see wealthier countries supporting poorer countires to combat global warming and climate change.

Many of these Commonwealth countires face major flooding and other environmental problems if climate change is not adressed soon.

Commonwealth leaders have pledged to back a multi-billion-dollar fund to help developing nations deal with climate change.

The fund, proposed by UK and French leaders at the Commonwealth summit on Friday, would start next year and build to $10bn annually by 2012.

Many Commonwealth members are island states threatened by rising sea levels.

Global warming Man-Made Fraud
Don't worry the seas won't rise as is promoted by the activists:
In a blatant attempt to hide the decline in global temperatures since 1960, climatologists have been exposed as manipulating data using 'tricks' to support their own hyped-up global warming agenda.

It is shame that we people are faked to believe in global warming by special interest groups that only is interested to rip off the already scarce money via carbon (CO2) taxes, higher energy prices, etc. from taxpayer-consumers' purses. Money that they need to survive this financial crisis. Despite all the Global Warming Legislation, it won’t reduce CO2 emission. Which even isn't the cause of global warming at all! Humanity will keep spewing carbon into the atmosphere. The Kyoto Protocol already divided the world into two groups. The roughly 1.2 billion citizens of industrialized countries equalling 20% of the people living on Earth that is expected to reduce their emissions. And the other 80% or 5 billion including both China and India that aren't.  These numbers alone are a guarantee that humanity isn't going to reduce global emissions at all, not now and not in the future. The long-term trend is clear. The 80% populations and their per head emissions are increasing much faster than ours could fall under any remotely plausible carbon-reduction scheme.

Man-made global warming is a fantasy, engineered by the global-warming fanatics themselves. Climate change is occurring – as it always has – and is harmless. The same cannot be said for the unspeakably irresponsible proposals of scientists whose egos have far outstripped their knowledge.

Planet Earth is five billion years old. Our sun exerts more control on all the planets than any other factor. Our climate has never stopped changing and never will.

About two decades ago, some politician/scientists decided that the “average temperature” of our planet should remain constant. The global warming hysteria has allowed politicians to spend insane amounts of taxpayer dollars to “fix” a problem that we humans absolutely have no control over.
 
Politicians have kept us dependent on foreign oil by not allowing further development of nuclear energy - and energy from fusion - specifically concerning the harmless disposal of nuclear waste- and to drill and refine our own oil. Our climate will continue to change based on the sun’s activity levels.
To be frank, I’m not against the preservation of our environment, or disputing global warming, but am concerned that the objectivity has been shattered by people who depend on it, by exploiting fear about global warming that definitely not is going to destroy our planet. Once governments start subsidizing political motivated issues, it is clear that everyone wants to be on the bandwagon to cash in on the money. The propaganda made, goes beyond reality and is creating panic in order to make better impact.

An abundance of new peer-reviewed studies, numbers of independent analysis, and data error discoveries in the last several months has prompted scientists to declare that fear of catastrophic man-made global warming “bites the dust” and the scientific underpinnings for alarm may be “falling apart.”  The latest study to cast doubt on climate fears finds that even a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide would not have the previously predicted dire impacts on global temperatures. This new study is not unique, as a host of recent peer-reviewed studies have cast a chill on global warming fears.

So loads of heatwaves are what exactly ? Ice melts when it gets colder ? When did that start being reality ? Weather forecasts are often wrong week to week, why do we get more freakish events now, as was predicted to be the case 20 years ago ? Here in UK that was wetter weather, and bizzar heatwaves. Thats what happens here now. Why are the jetstreams moving, did they get bored ? Airlines have had to retime flights !
