Just so you know there’s a hell of a difference between over regulation and deregulation. Some of the so called deregulatory things trump has done is to eliminate two or three fed and state agencies doing the same thing. Wasting billions. The courts have pretty well balanced out the polluters. They can now be sued for willfully hurting the environment. No one likes the outdoors more than I do. I would rather spend billions actually fighting pollution then by giving said billions to the UN in the name of C*****e C****e to be redistributed. I’ll never figure you people out. The UN has admitted the Paris Accords would have no affect on temperatures. Yet I guess it makes you moonbats feel good. .

70 Ways the UN makes a difference

C*****e c****e is a global problem that demands a global solution. The United Nations has been at the forefront in assessing the science and forging a political solution. The Intergovernmental Panel on C*****e C****e, which brings together 2,000 leading c*****e c****e scientists, issues comprehensive scientific assessments every five or six years: in 2007, it concluded with certainty that c*****e c****e was occurring and that human activities were a primary cause. The 196 members of the UN Framework Convention on C*****e C****e are negotiating agreements to reduce emissions that contribute to c*****e c****e and help countries adapt to its effects. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and other UN agencies have been at the forefront in raising awareness.
44. Helping Countries to Cope with C*****e C****e
The UN helps developing countries to respond to the challenges of global c*****e c****e. Thirty-nine UN bodies have formed a partnership to deal comprehensively with the problem. For instance, the Global Environment Facility, which brings together 10 UN agencies, funds projects in developing countries. As the financial mechanism of the Climate Convention, it allocates about $550 million per year in projects on new technologies, energy efficiency, renewable energies and sustainable t***sportation.

45. Protecting the Environment
The United Nations is working to solve global environmental problems. As an international forum for building consensus and negotiating agreements, the UN is tackling global problems such as ozone layer depletion, toxic waste, loss of forests and species, and air and water pollution. Unless these problems are addressed, markets and economies will not be sustainable in the long term, as environmental losses are depleting the natural capital on which growth and human survival are based.
46. Protecting the Ozone Layer
The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have been instrumental in highlighting the damage caused to Earth's ozone layer. As a result of a treaty known as the Montreal Protocol, countries have been phasing out chemicals that cause the depletion of the ozone layer and replacing them with safer alternatives. This will spare millions of people from contracting skin cancer because of exposure to increased ultraviolet radiation.
47. Providing Safe Drinking Water
During the first UN decade on water (1981-1990), more than a billion people gained access to safe drinking water for the first time in their lives. By 2002, another 1.1 billion people had clean water. In 2003, the International Year of Freshwater raised awareness of the importance of protecting this precious resource. The second international water decade (2005-2015) aims to reduce by half the number of people without a source of clean drinking water.
