As for the 100-billion pledge, and other details really, you'll probably find just as I am that each and every article has a slightly different explanation. But I believe it is a global fund(most developed nations together) of 100 billion a year, starting in 2020 with funding currently ongoing as we speak. Here's another "summary" article. With that yearly goal, that would be led by the US, it could end up a significant drain. The amount currently invested is pre-fund so to speak since we're not 2020. |
My understanding is that they want to get as many as the countries as they can to immediately start contributing, with the goal of ramping up yearly contributions to $100B/yr by 2020 and continuing at that level at least through 2025. It's not being "prepaid" in the sense of contributions are not being asked for yet.
I'm not finding that there is a great deal of contradiction between sources that I have seen. Some give more detail and others less (for instance, I have only seen the 2025 thing in one place) but I haven't seen stories really contradicting each other on the basic facts of the situation. I'm sorry to say this, but with the $6 billion thing that you repeatedly misunderstood as being an actual payment and not just a hypothetical number being made up in order to criticize President Trump's grammar skills, I actually suspect much of the "different explanations" you may be seeing are down to how you are reading them.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
