#8 I believe the reason they need this money is because so many of the last round of promises were never fulfilled. So we must wait patiently to find out what $7.4 billion means in the real world.

#12 "The United States would give $555 million of that. The U.S. money includes about $400 million that the White House announced but has not been approved by Congress."
Hopefully Rice is using the Gore Kyoto approach and this will die on Capitol Hill too.
