Please don't do this here.

Oh, I see.

I can cry foul towards Microsoft all day here, but not some faux charity which hosts fuck parties with underage and forced prostitutes.

Makes sense.

The world bank used to just pay off autocrats under the guise of indebting their countries for "infrastructure," and for policy concessions to foreign extractive industries. Activists complained until they had control, and have clearly cut out the middle men and are looting it for themselves. POSIWID.

the readers here are being "chumped" IMHO .. lots of comments fall hook, line and sinker for an obvious rage-bait. Does not the article say that these are "declared allocated" but not yet dispersed? Is this related to the multi-hundred billions pledged through the Paris Accords system that have not actually been applied to anything yet?

Intelligent people here are quick to jump on a 2-dimensional puppet headline to provoke the predictable canned outrage.

Yes, outrage is certainly appropriate .. daily oil profits? wasteful and unrelenting energy practices across civilization?

Not sure where you're seeing that in the article, it doesn't use that language at all. It actually directly contradicts what you're saying in the first sentence:

"Up to $41 billion in World Bank climate finance —nearly 40 percent of all climate funds disbursed by the Bank over the past seven years— is unaccounted for due to poor record-keeping practices"

You don’t actually expect us to do something about this, do you?

Outrage posturing is the name of the game. Say a lot. Sound serious. Threaten action. Do nothing.
