The British taxpayer will be forced to hand over an additional £800 million to the Third World for “climate change” if Gordon Brown and his allies have their way.

Mr Brown called today for the creation of a $10 billion a year fund to “help developing countries battle climate change.”

Mr Brown’s proposal comes in the week that strong evidence emerged that the case for climate change has either been vastly overstated or even forged.

Nonetheless, the momentum amongst the establishment politicians in favour of the “climate change theory” is now so overwhelming that they have simply ignored recent developments and have pushed through with their pre-planned agenda.

According to this anti-Western guilt trip scenario, industrialised nations are responsible for “climate change” and therefore morally obliged to pay off “poorer” nations (read the Third World) as “compensation.”

Mr Brown’s proposal was made at a Commonwealth leaders’ summit in Trinidad today. If it is accepted by other nations, the money will be handed out to the Third World as early as next year.

British taxpayers will doubtless be ecstatic to hear that despite a massive deficit and imminent cutbacks in services at home, Mr Brown has already set aside the £800 million in Britain’s budget for this fund.

“What I feel the developing countries need to know is that we are absolutely serious that we would start now,” Mr Brown said.

“What I’m proposing today is a Copenhagen launch fund. It would start in 2010. It would be $10 billion per annum by 2012,” he said.

Last month, the European Union said that “developing countries” will need €100 billion every by 2020 to “battle climate change.”

Acording to Mr Brown, half of the money would go to “financing stronger sea and flood defences” in the Third, while the rest would help those countries deal with “deforestation and building new, cleaner energy sources.”

Deforestation is of course, a phenomena which is purely local and cannot in any way be “blamed” on the West.

* At the same conference, Mr Brown announced his intention to bring the nation of Zimbabwe back into the Commonwealth, despite its appalling human rights record. In 2001, at the height of the anti-white farm evictions, the then Zimbabwe vice president, Joseph Msika, justified the murder of white farmers by telling the BBC that “whites were not human.”
