If Sanders thinks he could have gotten a better climate change deal, where does the $100b/year come

from?

Once again, it's always about the money and the numbers (and reality) which Bernie (and by extension his supporters) seem quite happy to ignore.

If you don't know what I'm referring to, you probably shouldn't have an opinion on this deal.

Something like removing the subsidies from the fossil fuel industry and using that revenue to support the less developed nations to at least survive? Or mabey using those funds to jump the less developed nations past the lessons we should have learned over the last hundred year?
Could Sanders have gotten a better deal? Who freakin knows, but I do know one thing. Sanders has been pushing on the right side of issues his entire political career. The money is there, it's just been trying to convince us that anything we do will be too little too late.
