COP26: Rich countries ‘pushing back’ on paying for climate loss
BBC News ^ | November 8, 2021 | By Navin Singh Khadka

Vulnerable countries at COP26 say rich nations are pushing back against their attempts to secure compensation for the damage caused by climate change.

Poorer countries see it as critical that money for loss and damage be part of negotiations this week.

Negotiators agreed in Paris in 2015 to address the issue, but there is no agreement on who should pay for it.

Rich nations are said to be resisting any commitments as they do not want to accept liability and risk being sued.

Developing countries argue that rich countries are responsible for most of today's climate change impacts because they started emitting carbon much earlier than the rest of the world.

There is NO SUCH THING “Climate Loss”!!! NOBODY has suffered this fictitious loss.

The whole Climate Scam is about poor countries shaking down rich countries for payoffs.

China remains the ‘Empty Chair’ in these pollution discussions.
Since Trump boldly brought it up, other nations are officially beginning to notice.

Greta has really gotten into bizarre histrionics.

Recently she was at a rally singing, you can shove the climste crisis up your ass.

Then she declared the Glasgow conference a failure, and said , to paraphrase, what the f### are they doing in there?

She seems to be getting more demonstrative in public.

How can we take seriously, someone who sings we should shove the climate crisis into hidden dark places?

Yet there are some who hang on every utterance from her as if she is an Oracle.

Greta and the gang are finally gonna figure it out—they will have to kill themselves to prove they are serious about saving the planet.

Otherwise they are just blowing hot air!

She needs to glue herself to the road. Maybe the 405 around 5:00 p.m.?

There is no climate crisis. It's a communist wealth transfer scheme cloaked in faux environment "concern". The plutocrats collecting the money will never disburse it to the parties used as example to pull heart strings.
