“This is like asking your medical professional to analyze your diet plan only by taking a look at your grocery store checklist, without ever inspecting what actually ends up in your fridge,” stated Kate Donald, the head of Oxfam’s Washington DC office.
“This is an outrageous waste people taxpayers money on a useless woke political cause. It is an insult to the American people,” Nile Gardiner, the supervisor of the Margaret Thatcher Facility for Liberty at the Heritage Structure, informed The Post:

“There is no clear public document showing where this money went or exactly how it was made use of,” Oxfam stated in a news release, adding that it was even “unclear” whether funds sent out to poorer nations to fight global warming were also spent on environment change tasks.
A spokesperson for the Globe Financial institution claimed: “While we contest these findings, we value our continuous involvements with Oxfam and other civil society teams on our climate work and on pressing us to be a lot more transparent.”
