Addis Abeba — The Government of Sweden last week in Addis Ababa, signed an agreement with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), committing 60 million Swedish Kronor (about $8.5 million) in support of ECA's African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC), established in the framework of the Climate Information for Development in Africa (ClimDev-Africa Programme).
At a short signing ceremony, ECA's Executive Secretary and UN Under Secretary- General, Abdoulie Janneh, acknowledged Sweden as a leader on issues pertaining to coping with the impacts of climate change, the commission said in a statement.
He said because climate change would negatively impact on Africa in many ways, the continent was determined to present a united voice in Copenhagen during the 15th meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP-15).
"Africa is clear on what it wants and we are confident on the outcome," the statement quoted Janneh, adding that the Swedish gesture towards ACPC would help the Centre fulfill its various mandates on behalf of African countries.
Responding, the Swedish Ambassador, Jens Odlander, said the Government of Sweden was interested in the "entrepreneurial aspects of climate change" and that it considers ACPC as having a crucial role to play in this regard.
He said Sweden was pleased that Africa's three regional institutions were working together on climate change and expressed the hope that ClimDev-Africa and ACPC would help alleviate the negative effects of climate change for millions of children, women and men in Africa.
Odlander noted that other donors such as the European Commission and the United Kingdom were already financing ACPC while other EU members had indicated interest in granting further support.
ClimDev-Africa is a joint initiative of the African Union Commission (AUC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) with clear mandates of African Heads of State and Government to develop continent-wide systems for monitoring, predicting and responding to climate events.
The programme responds to the urgent challenge that climate variability and climate change pose to Africa's sustainable development objectives. Although the continent contributes only 3.8% of total greenhouse gas emissions, Africa's countries are among the most vulnerable to climate change impacts.
With a majority of poor countries and communities, Africa will suffer earliest and hardest because of weaker resilience and greater reliance on climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture.

This Global Warming Stuff Is A Complete Hoax . Man has so arrogantly told
God, by inference, that God the Creator didnt Create things quite right. The United
Nations is just another attempt by Satan to build another Tower of Babel .
If you want to know some real truth tune in to broadcasts like Living In Black
(Hosted By Keidi-Obi Awadu via www.libradio.net) & Alex Jones Infowars broadcast

Heres a link to articles on the Hoax of Global Warming.
1) [http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi]
What is this hype of Global warming for ? Its designed to give these phony
scientists ( who actually act like they were taking part in the Creation itself ) and the
organizations they represent control of the worlds natural resources. The GEORGIA
GUIDESTONES is consistent with United Nations goals for the world.
Here is a synopsis of the GEORGIA GUIDESTONES :
[The Agenda Of The Antichrist aka The Georgia Guidestones (GG) ]
THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
1) MAINTAIN HUMANITY'S POPULATION UNDER 500 MILLION IN
PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE
2) GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY
3) UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING NEW LANGUAGE
4) RULE PASSION FAITH TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH
TEMPERED REASON
5) PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS
6) LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES
IN A WORLD COURT
7) AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS
8) BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES.
9) PRIZE TRUTH BEAUTY LOVE SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE
INFINITE
10) BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE
LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE
In conclusion the directives for these GEORGIA GUIDESTONES call for : a) b) c) Elimination of around 7 billion residents d) e) f) Control of how many people are born g) h) i) The return of the system of ONE LANGUAGE as it was during the construction j) k) of the TOWER OF BABEL l) m) n) The other goals seem to infer that there isnt currently a choice available to us that o) p) can help us to be better people. And there is a choice. q) r) s) But as the prophecy said in Daniel , The Beast/Antichrist will not allow any other t) u) worship, but of himself.
Global Warming and all this false human-directed unity is designed to appeal to our
personal pride , our lustful flesh and our unsatisfied eyes. But we cant save our
selves. We children need OUR FATHER GOD to fight for us against our evil older
brethren Satan (formerly known as Lucifer) and His Fallen Followers.

And the nations were angry, and your wrath is here, and the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, and that you should give reward to your servants the prophets, and to
the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; AND SHOULD DESTROY
THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH.
