The United States contributed $1 billion to the global Green Climate Fund, but the world's top polluters contributed nothing, David Asman reported.
Asman said on "Forbes on Fox" that China, Russia and India contributed no money to the Green Climate Fund, yet that international community pressured the U.S. to sign onto the Paris Climate Accord.
Steve Forbes said that the billion-dollar payment is another reason why President Trump was smart to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris agreement.
"It would have a devastating impact on our economy," Forbes said.
He said that America already reduces Carbon emissions better than any other nation in the world.
Mike Ozanian pointed out that the funds for the Paris accord would be controlled by the United Nations, which often works against U.S. domestic interests.

America shouldn't complain because everything about UN is going in their favour which needed to be curry with responsibilities

however, othes countries too should start stacking some dollars to support the accord so as to enjoy the same curry from UN
The era of "TAKE AMERICAN MONEY, GO HOME AND HAVE FUN" is over.

others countries decisions were not considered deeply by America cos of their selfishness so most countries feel hesitant to stake their money into ventures where their opinion matters less. they have let who pays the piper to dictate the tune so American should brace up on that burden which they entrusted on themselves

do you mean the financial obligation of the top world polluters like Russia, china, india and co is not needed in the global green climate fund or in the UN as a whole?

If you are abreast of International politics, you should know that Russia and China hardly follow American idea on the floor of UN without making sure that the deal will be equally beneficial to at at least the Veto wielders and America does not have the wit to commit them into accepting their stand unwillingly.
The fact is that America likes playing showman but the current reality shows that they have overstretched their influence. Don't be surprise that in the coming years,America will focus more on repositioning its itself than asserting its overhyped influence

open your mind and embrace my point Sister. Your hatred against America is the driving force behind your feeble points. Instead of you to focus on why the major polluters refuse to fulfill their financial obligation to the cause in which they are major perpetrators, rather you chose to channel the host of your attack on American goverment who has been stacking $1,000,000,000 out of generosity. Unfortunately, December is gone! Our Father xmas (Obama) is gone! America is not Father christmasing to any country again.
This is not even about how UN has become a toy in the hands of US, it is about failed responsibilities of other nations to the cause.
I repeat, The era of "TAKE AMERICAN MONEY - GO HOME AND ENJOY" is over,

I will be glad if America uphold this your slogan, then they will also know that era of highhandedness is over as well. The reality which is setting in on them is that they don't have the monopoly of violence in present global settings. If you don't know,for every one thousand dollar America give out to any country, they extorts that country one million times which is why their AIDS never helped third world countries

Wouldn't it be nice if you stayed on the main issue here? All these long stories just to justify why Uncle Sam is paying $1b yet other top economies paid zero$$? Come on bruh

funny. I chose not to argue further but just take note, their withdrawal is completely justifiable
