Trump falsely claimed the “United States has already handed over $1 billion” to the Green Climate Fund. The U.S. has contributed $500 million to the fund so far.
The president also falsely said “nobody even knows where the money [in the Green Climate Fund] is going to.” The fund’s website outlines all of the projects that have been funded.

How many speeches did they "fact check" for Obama. Just curious.

If this is meant to be a "gotcha" on Trump, I'm not quite sure it hit the mark.

Not exactly what this thread is about but...

And gave them "true" ratings even when demonstrably false probably, just like politifact usually did/does for the left.

Green fund's website lists the US disbursed cash and deposited PNs as $1B.
I just saw it with my own eyes.
I could not find any document that accounted for all the money and it's eventual use. I did see the list of projects they've initiated to date.
The truth lies in the middle between your hate of Trump and a Trumpkin's defense of him.

There is a footnote about the $500M for sure. The footnote indicates that the US has provided that amount. Interesting that there is not a similar footnote for other countries and what they have actually provided.

The process for exiting a non binding agreement sounds pretty easy to me.
I wonder what the process is for collecting pledges from non binding agreements.

As of today, Macron and Merkel are defacto leaders of West - which is OK until Trump is impeached. They're capable of handling it. Macron has been extremely impressive filling the Trump incompetence void.

You can't be as stupid as you present yourself on this board. Is breathing reflexive for you, or do you have to think about it?

Yes, 2 countries that combined have less than half of the population of the US are 'de facto leaders of the west'
Where do you people come up with this stuff?

Does it show all the bankruptcies those renewable energies cost tax payers?
Those subsidies were pure pay back for those that donated to Obama.

LOL good for them. I guess you missed the part where Trump spoke the truth about being elected to be the President of the US , not the world.
See folks this is what the moronic left has been reduced to, they KNOW this deal wasn't good for the US, that can't be argued, so instead they argue that "the US is no longer the leader of the world" well sir, if leading the world means entering deals that are bad for us, France can have it.
And that is hilarious anyway. It's like if my neighbors who didn't have guns wanted me to donate money to buy them guns and if I said no they want on TV and said well that guy isn't the leader of our neighborhood anymore. But if trouble broke out in my neighborhood, they would also show up at my doorstep looking for protection because I AM the leader of my neighborhood . We ARE the leader of the free world, this stupid agreement doesn't change that.

Show me ANY "global" organization that is efficient with money given to it AND can account for where the funds have been allocated...
Hell, I would be happy if anyone could show me the actual percentage of the funds that were actually spent on the perceived issue/purpose AND not "administrative costs"...
Its like you people have been asleep through this whole "UN" thing...

This sounds pretty dubious. What is it based on?

Well it's very obvious Trump doesn't want the U.S. to be a global leader. He wants the US to be a shut-in.
