FRESH outrage erupted yesterday over the cost of details of the aid package overseas aid after it emerged that Britain is to stump up £1billion to help African countries fight climate change.
Energy Secretary Chris Huhne will spearhead the megadeal that will see taxpayers shelling out for projects to help farmers insure their crops against flooding and drought.
Other schemes include installing solar power in villages and building slurry pits that can produce gas to power generators.
The move will infuriate millions of hard-pressed taxpayers trying to make ends meet. South Africa, the most economically advanced in the continent, is one of the continent, it is one of the countries to receive the handout.
Last year, its economy grew by 2.8 per cent while britain's grew by just 1.8 per cent.
Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom said: It is inconceivable that the Government feels able to spend money on climate change in Africa when its austerity measures at home are causing such pain. If we have the money then we should spend it here.” Mr Huhne is expected to announce details of the aid package ahead of talks at a United Nations summit on climate change in Durban, South Africa, which starts this week.

The £1billion over the next four years will be taken from the budgets held by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The Department for International Development has already collected £362million until 2015.
Ethiopa will get £41million South Africa £13.2million and Rwanda £2million.
As if blowing £50 million a day on the EU wasn't bad enough now there going to give Africa £1 billion to help fight the greenhouse effect global warming climate change.
Friends, let me tell you a little tale about the weather, during the Vietnam war the Americans decided to weaponize the weather, this was called Operation Popeye, rain bearing clouds were seeded, the result, an extension for the monsoon season between 30-45 days! Now a simple question, If we have this technology in our possession why don't we use it to give rain to the drought ridden areas of Africa saving countless lives?
I've yet to be convinced that greenhouse effect global warming climate change is actually a problem, 'climate change denier' I hear you cry, no sir/madame, I am not, I merely believe that it is a natural phenomena & has virtually nothing to do with carbon, those of you that doubt this should seek out where on Earth are the greatest build up of CO2 is you'll be very surprised to learn that it's not in any city, it's is in fact over a desert.
Carbon taxes are coming, but it's OK! If you have enough money you can pay to pollute. I think that last statement says it all about the climate change tax club don't you?
