‘This is not going to stop’: Pakistan says apocalyptic flooding shows the need for reparations
CNBC ^

Posted on 11/09/2022 10:21:21 PM PST by BenLurkin

Reparations, or “loss and damage” funding, are seen as a fundamental question of climate justice. The hot-button issue made history on Sunday at the opening of the COP27 climate summit by being formally adopted onto the agenda for the first time.

The decision to include loss and damage funding as an agenda item, which was proposed by Pakistan, was preceded by 48 hours of talks.

Climate envoys gathered in Egypt’s Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh will now discuss a deal on a funding facility that would see wealthy nations provide loss and damage cash to vulnerable countries.

Pakistan’s Bilawal Bhutto Zardari told CNBC that it had been a success to see loss and damage funding finally adopted onto the COP27 agenda, highlighting the role that developing countries played in building consensus on this issue.

He now hopes the international community can find a way to collectively address financing for loss and damage.

By now, year 2022, I had expected countried such as India, Pakistan and a few African Nations to have implemented Universal Basic Income. I’m surprised they haven’t, mainly as a way to reduce the areas of extreme poverty and lack of santitation facilities. There are still areas in that part of the world where there is no water available except what can be carried uphill or dug from wells.
If the CDC get bored, there is a population that could use some guidance.

If all of Pakistan’s 225 million citizens suddenly disappeared, it would be months before anyone else on planet Earth even noticed. Pakistan has always been remarkably unremarkable. Their net contribution to mankind is negative. At least they’re not wasting much prime real estate.

All those rich European nations aren’t so rich all of a sudden. What with Putin’s energy wars and recession. They will not be handing out “climate change” billions and trillions to third world nations that squawk the loudest. The money ain’t there.

Same applies here, though less so. The Europeans, Canada, Australia and the USA will talk a good game. But will fork over jack shyte. These Pakis and other third worlders should go panhandle China and India, which put out the most CO2.

Phoenix? If a pump does the work of carrying, is it ok then.

I’m in Canada, and if anyone wants to carry away my snow, they are welcome to it. Perhaps the U.N. would like to come and collect?

Of course.

Money to line the pockets of political insiders is always the answer to life’s injustice.

If they want “reparations”, they can talk to allah about it.

For years they bitched about drought. No water, no crops.
NOW they get a little water and can’t understand what to do other than blame the Christian, capitalist west.

It’s just the blame game for solar activity which is well beyond any earthlings control.

This is all totally bogus. Floods have been happening more or less forever, human activity does not cause floods. Human inactivity results in poor mitigation strategies. Build bigger dams. Catch the water and release it gradually.

If we are crazy enough to give them money, it should at least be tied to a scheme to do that, so it’s not going to happen more than once. China can go in there and build the dams, they are pretty good at it (or so they say).

India has successfully, since 1990, reduced extreme poverty

The reason for this drop is due to india removing socialist shackles that were holding it back. It still is red tape bound and too much socialism - if it dropped ALL it's socialist concepts, it would now be an economy potentially near China or the USA's levels.
