With the Paris World Climate Summit taking place in three months, scientists and politicians are raising concerns over the speed at which the effects of climate change are being addressed. Recently, developing countries demanded that the United States and other wealthy nations pay reparations for climate refugees affected in their respective countries. It is past time for the United States to pay its dues as it has a long history of climate inaction, and in 1997 was the only wealthy nation not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, a document which, for many nations, represented a first step in reducing their carbon footprint. The United States has already felt the effects of a changing climate, such as Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy, and should mitigate the consequences of these disasters with the country’s abundant resources that poorer nations cannot afford.
The question of environmental reparations is a matter of ecology and humanitarianism. A changing climate could lead to a dangerous trajectory where the fight for resources in countries no longer able to provide for their own populations engage in civil wars or genocide. If a country’s resources are not enough to maintain an entire population, more extremist leaders would be willing to eliminate part of the population in order to have enough resources for the remaining inhabitants. Even if such drastic incidences are not repeated, it is undeniable that dislocated populations are often forced into war or forced to live as refugees. By paying reparations, the United States would allow poorer countries to put in place infrastructure that may help prevent ecological catastrophes which would force populations to be dislocated in the first place. This infrastructure could include seawalls in coastal areas to prevent severe flooding and proper tools for irrigation that would help reduce the impact of drought — things that, if implemented properly, could make the difference between life and death for thousands of people.
Finally, the United States should pay reparations because it is a matter of justice — the United States and China together account for more than a third of all CO2 emissions, and we are far behind other wealthy nations in reducing our emissions. Unless international organizations like the United Nations begin to financially penalize the United States for its irresponsible actions, it is unlikely that we will change our attitude. If the reparation proposals fall short, it should hardly come as a surprise to most of us. But at the very least, we must let American politicians and climate lobbyists know that their inability to take action against climate change will not go unpunished, and that those who suffer as a result shall be in some way compensated.
I have a better idea, let’s send anyone who uses the word “reparations” on a one way trip to colonize Pluto.
The United States has already felt the effects of a changing climate [as has the long lost supercontinent of Pangaea whose breakup is no doubt the fault of the United States as well], such as Hurricane Katrina [which according to liberals was the first ever hurricane in history] and Superstorm Sandy [which according to liberals was the first ever storm to strike the East Coast], and should [because some idiot student says so,] mitigate the consequences of these disasters with the country’s abundant resources that poorer nations cannot afford [because these countries' leaders keep bleeding their people dry, selling off their country's resources to enrich themselves, and buying the people's votes with petty little gifts and unfulfilled promises].
The question of environmental reparations is a matter of ecology and humanitarianism[pure socialist wishful thinking]. A changing climate could lead to a dangerous trajectory where the fight for resources in countries no longer able to provide for their own populations engage in civil wars or genocide [or it could lead to a prosperous future with abundant plant growth and milder temperatures, lessening losses from diseases like pneumonia, there's no way to know]. If a country’s resources are not enough to maintain an entire population [because the country adopted socialism instead of capitalism], more extremist leaders would be willing to eliminate part of the population in order to have enough resources for the remaining inhabitants [which oddly enough means that Obama's own staffers are extremists since this is exactly what some of them advocated in the book "The Population Bomb."] Even if such drastic incidences are not repeated, it is undeniable that dislocated populations are often forced into war or forced to live as refugees [and it is also a fact that liberals will go to any lengths to blame dislocated populations on everything but the actual cause of dislocation]. By paying reparations, the United States [taxpayer, not the US welfare recipient] would allow poorer countries [dictators] to put in place infrastructure that may help [enrich their own pockets and the pockets of fearmongering leftists] prevent ecological catastrophes which would force populations to be dislocated in the first place. This infrastructure could include seawalls in coastal areas to prevent severe flooding and proper tools for irrigation that would help reduce the impact of drought [and unicorn ranches with skittle tree orchards] — things that, if implemented properly, could make the difference between life and death for thousands of people.
Finally, the United States [and not China] should pay reparations because it is a matter of justice [according to some liberals immoral mythical legal code] — the United States and China together account for more than a third of all CO2 emissions, and we are far behind other wealthy nations in reducing our emissions[nations who are far behind the US in producing products and ideas benefitting mankind]. Unless [unelected] international organizations like the United Nations [of food for oil scandal and Rwanda rape fame] begin to [unlawfully] financially penalize the United States [population of working citizenry] for its irresponsible actions[defiance and resistance to being robbed by ecomorons], it is unlikely that we will change our attitude. If the reparation proposals fall short, it should hardly come as a surprise to most of us. But at the very least, we must let American politicians and climate lobbyists know that their inability to take action against climate change will not go unpunished, and that those who suffer as a result shall be in some way compensated [by you and what army?].
Wow!
I don’t think I have seen so much stupid in one place like this in a long time.
Great find.
This is a glittering example of idiocy our halls of higher learning spewing forth upon the land.
How did the Dutch, a developing nation in its early history, ever manage to build seawalls without being able to demand reparations from the US?
Marxist redistribution based upon fraudulent data.
And then I’ve read that Obama made a great deal with China that they dont have to pay for years, suckor!

The Global Warmists are also ZPG (ZeroPopulationGrowth) moonbats. Have been for 50 years.
Abortion, birth control, these are the things that have been implemented to drive down population trends. Americans aren't reproducing as much anymore, we are importing the next generations (who come here without appreciation of our Constitution or culture of independence).P
I would say that.
Economic forces generated due to government interference in the economy led to industrial contractions in the US which caused us to meet the CO2 goal.
If we had a more LAISSEZ-FAIRE government that had more business friendly tax and regulation policies the US economy would have grown at a more traditional pace and the US would not have met the CO2 goal.
LOL....you do come up with some great ones ;-)

Liberal indoctrination in academia at its finest.
IIRC, the drop in CO2 was mainly due to using more natural gas.
Gobledy gobledy gook.
Hurricanes and storms are the fault of the American people and we should pay. It’s no longer everything is Bushs fault but now all of our faults. Even the weather! God save us from the insanity!
These Climate Change thugs should be put in a place where the climate is steady. At the same time they can pay for their crimes of fraud and extortion. A prison has those thick walls to provide the thermal mass for even temperatures and everything they would want for a secure life.
Using less coal. Shutting down coal plants.
Using less gasoline when the price of gas was around $9/gallon.
Outsourcing manufacturing. Less industry, less commuting to fewer jobs.
Declining real wages means less travel and less consumer confidence means less spending on travel and less spending period.
All of this can be linked to oppressive government.
The United States was the greatest consumer of energy and natural resources for over a century for primarily one reason. The US had the freest economy and the most business friendly government in the world. That is no longer true.
The US also had the most productive workers in the world. That may no longer be true either. ObamaCare reduced the work week to 32 hours per week that has to put a damper on productivity.
The little parasite’s parents ought to demand their money back from NYU (Know-Nothing Youts University).
Jesus Yabadabado writes like a cry baby, about 3rd grade level.
I guess the little pissant has never thought through his wishes about the US paying climate reparations to the UN.
Suppose our next conservative president decides to withhold any payments to the UN unless they change their anti-American positions, or pulls the lease rung from under them and tells them to “Get out of Dodge”.
Little Jesus would wet his pink panties in horror.
I guess NYU’s BS degree really is for Bullshit!
I’ve got a bag of pennies, that should about cover it.
Only if they’re the new pennies that don’t contain copper.
I would like to tell her what to do and with whom, but I would be in trouble.
How about this? If we get back EVERY cent we ever gave to foreign countries in aid, including military disaster relief, AND get a tax from all the countries we keep safe, AND get reparations from every muslim country that has sponsored terrorism, then get back to me.
What a stupid spoiled witch.
