The US should help because unless everyone chips in we'll face climate changes that will ruin america just as much as they will ruin developing countries. Seeing as the money can be spent more effectively in poorer countries it's also a worthwhile payment. It's also got something to do with the fact that in general developing countries release far less pollution compared to developed countries, and for that we should try to help them out with the mess we are making. 

Or we focus on not making the mess in the first place and directly support areas affected by us, not put our money in a pot and not know hwere any of it goes.

You continue to say that the US don't know where the money goes but this is simply not true. When giving money to the fund created by the paris agreement there are first and foremost some general rules of where the money is supposed to go, which the US is aware of assuming they read the treaty they signed and now are agains, and furthermore the specific investments are also not secret, so when the investments are done the information will be there for the US president to see. 

 

All areas are affected by you because global warming is a global effect. I know, judging by the name one would think the pollution made in the US only affected you guys, but it turns out that the word global actually refers to a worldwide phenomenon.
