UN secretary-general calls for climate deal between rich and poor countries
SKY News ^ | November 5, 2022

Rich countries must sign a pact with poor countries on the climate or "we will be doomed" - that's the warning from UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres.

Speaking ahead of the COP27 climate summit in Egypt, Mr Guterres said wealthier countries must help emerging economies to speed up their transition to renewable energy.

"COP27 must be the place to close the ambition gap, the credibility gap and the solidarity gap," he said.

"It must put us back on track to cutting emissions, boosting climate resilience and adaptation, keeping the promise on climate finance and address loss and damage from climate change."

Rich countries have emitted more than their share of heat-trapping carbon dioxide by burning of coal, oil and natural gas.

After last year's COP26 in Glasgow, the UN Environment Programme estimated that developing countries needed $70bn a year for adaptation - a figure expected to double by 2030.

“No problem — we continue to live our lives and improve air quality, and you can STFU. There’s the deal.”

Couldn’t agree more. The United Nothing is a nothing but an America hating and communist love bunch of crooks. That was the worse thing that President Truman EVER DID IS BRING THE UNITED NOTHING TO AMERICA. It should have been in a neutral country, like Switzerland.

Lots of 'poor' countries are that way because their leaders are corrupt.

Money we've given them over the decades goes to their 'elites' and then those same 'elites' offer lavish kickbacks to our corrupt democrats. Nothing goes to the people.

Did you know Bill and Hillary would go to poor countries and CHARGE $10,000 A MINUTE for 40 minute 'speeches'? Bill Clinton wanted to give 'speeches' to the corrupt intensely poor Republic of Congo. He got turned down on that horror by the State Department. Guess it was 'too obvious' even by their corrupt standards.

Some democrats would then 'sell' these corrupt 'leaders' 20,000 to 100,000 'books' (ego ghost written crap) they didn't have to take possession of... just write the check here.

Ever wonder how these democrats go to Congress middle class and within years are multimillionaires?

So NO to the UN... we're out of the kickback business and we're tired of protecting the power of corrupt leaders with our tax dollars.

Switzerland’s too smart to host something as corrupt and vile as the UN. The UN should be placed in the Republic of Congo...or whatever that hellhole is called today.

Of course he does.

And industrial nations should tell him to pound sand.

Thanks. The UN has become a ‘dictator protection agency’... really fits in the Congo.
