Government Wast at the EPA

Almost $9 million spent on foreign governments to promote Global Warming.

A report by Science and Public Policy.org show the EPA spent $1.9 million promoting the conversation on environmentalism and work for environmental justice. This money was given to 76 not for profit and local governments. 

Reading the report I found that the total listed CUM Award for the 15 foreign grants and the 6 UN grants is $8,886,707. Far grater then the $1.9 million stated in the report. 

Below is the break down of the grants to foreign government/foreign not for profit and, the total value of the grant. See the report at  Science and Public Policy.org.
