I take it that no one bothered to read the article. Here's some highlights:

Canada will make an additional five-year, $2.65 billion contribution to help developing countries tackle climate change. It's for an international climate fund seeking to raise $100 Billion by 2020.

The "Canada is back" line is a reference to the last priminister of Canada, Steven Harper, who was a climate change denier, and a conservative who loved him too much oil.

The funds are to help the "poorest and most vulnerable countries in the world adapt,” Trudeau said in a statement.

Canada has now exceeded the $4 billion target that environmental groups have been urging it to meet as its “fair share,” based on the country’s national wealth.

The United Nations Children’s Fund said the contribution helps establish Canada as a global leader in helping vulnerable children in poor countries affected by climate change.
