The developing world deserves reparations from wealthier nations as compensation for the harmful climate change effects that are mostly our fault. It's us who have tainted our global commons by emitting vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and us whose actions have led to extreme weather and other disasters in the world's most vulnerable regions.
But a strictly financial mea culpa from rich nations won't be enough. Rich countries should also invest in geoengineering projects to provide solutions for those on the front lines of climate change: those who cannot afford to pay for more adaptive and resilient infrastructure or who happen to be geographically unfortunate.
Still, it is by human hand that our environment has been degraded, and it is up to humans to innovate and devise a modified world that is safe for all. There may be no turning back to pre-industrial times, but that does not mean we have to turn our backs on those trapped by industry's offenses. Tangible solutions are necessary to address the needs of those affected by climate change. Strategic options have timed out.

So much for everything the US does for the rest of the developing world. You’re welcome.
All those with an even number of letters in their last name will hold their breath on Tuesdays.
All those with an odd number of letters on Thursdays...
Yep, they will have to be pretty creative to adjust the temperature output of the sun!
lol
Go to the Sun at night and pull the plug or at least throw a tarp over part of it.
Up yours, Thomas.
Move to Beijing or some other city, you moron.
Eco communism at its best, brought to us by the Compost.
Reparations my butt.
Humans aren’t going to fix anything. Humans can only adapt to what Mother Nature throws at us. Anthropogenic climate change is one of the greatest hoaxes perpetuated on mankind.
Paging Mr. Burns.
Dont worry, I just fixed it. Its over, no need to raise taxes, no need to crush private industry, I fixed it... just now. Done.
Good job!
At least he got straight to the point. Climate change is nothing more than a scam to bring about a massive transfer of wealth from rich nations to poor ones. This is why it is so important that we be absolutely terrified over it.
Another douche-wad claiming we need to soak rich nations in order to solve global warming.
Where do these effing morons come from? Seriously!
FUTK
Any jackass that spews reparations BS within arm's reach of me gets b-slapped. Any one of them tries to lay blame at the feet of Western civilization, the greatest elevation to the human condition in the history of the whole human race, gets a full-out punch to the side of their stupid head.
Getting sick of this sh!t.
well it is a creative solution...
I guess we could start by no longer exporting food, medicines, and technology to nations that can’t make their own. That should reduce the population by a couple billion in a generation. When these poor nations go to war, let them annihilate one another.
Meanwhile the First World nations (by the end of the generation, known as the Only Nations) could build plenty of nuclear power plants.
There. Global warming fixed in one generation. If its that big of a deal, then let’s use Darwinism (a popular theory among the Progressives, right??) to ensure that the strong survive.
Since I have 4 letters in my family last name, that means I’m not allowed to breath on Tuesdays?
Do the best you can.
I prefer liberals load their pockets with wrenches, and walk out into the ocean.
