Man-caused global warming terror is underlying theme of ICLEI conference in Bonn though scientific consenus says global temperatures have been flat for 16 years. Parasite ICLEI was on scene to help US cities spend $2.8 billion in free US taxpayer money via Obama Stimulus

.
ICLEI was on the scene when the US Mayors Climate group received a $2.8 billion grant from the 2009 Obama stimulus. ICLEI offered assistance in "planning and implementing" the spending of US taxpayer billions for "very reasonable fees". ICLEI "Enhanced Services" advises how to "institutionalize" financing, (ie, keep taxpayer dollars flowing permanently) suggesting setup of a permanent "Energy Office" with the stimulus money which it will help you do for "an easy hourly rate."

6/3/13, "Report on ICLEI Conference, Mission Bonn," CFACT, Craig Rucker

"Much of the rest of discussion in Bonn centered around climate change. ICLEI’s president, David Cadman, recklessly kicked off the conference making a pointed (and scientifically illiterate) connection between Hurricane Sandy, the tornadoes which recently devastated Texas and Oklahoma, and global warming. This outrageous link was reinforced somewhat shamelessly by other speakers throughout the day (as seen in CFACT’s video here). The backdrop of cataclysmic climate change colored virtually all presentations and drove much of the discussion, with the notion that cities had to be prepared for an obvious coming apocalypse. The fact that there has been no global warming for the past 16 years, and that virtually all climate models have proven poor indicators of present trends, received no mention whatsoever. To raise such a point, of course, would have been akin to blasphemy at this conference." via Climate Depot

The US Mayors Climate group received a $2.8 billion grant from the 2009 Obama stimulus. ICLEI offered assistance in "planning and implementing" the spending of the billions (for "very reasonable fees"). ICLEI "Enhanced Services" offers to help cities arrange to "institutionalize" financing, (ie, arrange permanent flows of taxpayer dollars). It suggests setting up a permanent "Energy Office" with the stimulus money, and ICLEI will help you do this for "an easy hourly rate.""

The Mayors website announced the $2.8 billion award (at end of article):

"Mayors Leading the Way on Climate Protection"

"This is one of many reasons why 1,060 mayors continue to join The U.S. Conference of Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement, vowing to reduce carbon emissions in their cities below 1990 levels, in line with the Kyoto Protocol....

Under the leadership of The Conference, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program was conceived, making it possible for the first time in U.S. history, for cities, counties and states to receive grants specifically to fund energy-efficiency projects. This program was a top priority of the Mayors' 10-Point Plan and the Mayors' MainStreet Recovery Program. The Obama Administration earlier this year, acted to distribute $2.8 billion for EECBG, included in the Recovery Package (ARRA), which will benefit hundreds of U.S. cities."
