Even the openly criminal UN doesn't finance "carbon capture" and it normally throws billions away without blinking. The UK has thousands in poverty freezing to death in their homes each winter because they can't afford the high energy prices the UK global warming racket charges them.

"A £1bn project to turn a Scottish power station into a world leader in climate-change technology has collapsed."
"Plans for the UK's first carbon capture project at the Longannet power station in Fife have been scrapped, the energy secretary has confirmed.
Chris Huhne announced the failure to reach a "deal" with power companies to capture carbon dioxide emissions at the plant and pipe them under the sea.
Mr Huhne blamed problems with the length of pipeline needed.
But he said the government hoped other schemes could work, indicating interest at Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.
Mr Huhne told BBC Scotland interest had been expressed by Scottish and Southern Energy, which operates Peterhead, and he was confident a carbon capture and storage scheme could be brought online for the £1bn which the UK government had been offering to develop the CCS technology....
"When we have clear indications that we can do what we need to do with carbon capture and storage at a commercial scale within the £1bn budget that we have got, then it seems to me that is what sensible taxpayers and energy bill payers would want us to do."
Responding to Mr Huhne's announcement, Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said it was "deeply disappointing".
Environmental group WWF Scotland said scrapping the scheme meant four years had been wasted
- in the battle to tackle climate change."
