Brown to raise Greenbacks at the UN. Greenbacks. Geddit?

Steve Green over at Daily Referendum has spotted this announcement from The Foe.

[…] United Nations High Level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing, which British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will co-chair with Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, Asad Rehman […]

Gordon Brown has a chance for genuine leadership this year in pushing the international community to adopt a tax on financial transactions, which would provide billions of dollars of new money to governments to tackle climate change head on - now is the time for him to grasp it.

Lovely. Brown screwing money out of the entire world to benefit his mate Pachauri who will campaign for it to be handed over to his friends.

Still, look on the bright side. McNutter will no longer be scorching the earth of the United Kingdom.

But seriously... now that he has his feet under the table at the UN, maybe Broon will bring the GE forward to April 8th, ditching Darling's budget plans, ducking Chilcot and the 13th April announcement about the disastrous UK economic performance in Q1 2010 - and winning me a few bob courtesy of Ladbrokes (10/1 at the time of writing).
