UK GIVES AROUND £1.5 BILLION IN "CLIMATE AID"

Christopher Booker in today's column in the Sunday Telegraph highlights the huge sum being spent by the government in its "overseas aid" programme to help to "fight climate change". No longer does the government regard aid as a means of alleviating poverty and disease, as you will see when you read the article. This is apart from the money given directly to fight climate change. As Booker says, the UK government seems strangely obsessed with this objective, despite its enormous national debt and a flat-lining economy.
