BELEM, Brazil (AP) — Officials from countries most vulnerable to global warming offered searing dispatches of life on the front line of a warming planet Friday, as world leaders gathered on the edge of the Amazon rainforest for the annual United Nations climate talks.
Haitian diplomat Smith Augustin, whose country was pummeled by Hurricane Melissa, appealed to wealthier countries that produce the greatest share of the world’s emissions to support Haiti in preparing for bigger storms. Developed countries pledged $300 billion to help poor nations cope with climate shocks at last year’s summit, but the money has yet to be distributed.
Kithure Kindiki, Kenya’s vice president, said rescuers in his country are still searching for scores of people missing after a deadly landslide triggered by torrential rain sent muddy water crashing into villages last week.
“A previously once-in-a-century cycle of extreme droughts alternating with devastating floods continues to wipe out lives,” he said. “This has now become common.”
Officials warn that it has become almost impossible to keep global warming below the key Paris Agreement benchmark of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, the chairman of the African Union, questioning how developing nations were expected to decarbonize at a time when financial assistance for poor countries is faltering and the U.S., the world’s biggest oil producer, is cashing in on heightened demand for hydrocarbons.
“We do not ask for charity, but for climate justice,” he said.
Maina Vakafua Talia, the environmental minister of the island nation of Tuvalu,addressed Trump directly over the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. “Mr. President, this is a shameful disregard for the rest of the world,” he said.
The White House shot back that Trump “will not jeopardize our country’s economic and national security to pursue vague climate goals that are killing other countries.”

Don your hip boots before reading article.
Yeah, you're asking for charity.
I think they have a thesaurus of words to work from:
suffering
destruction
vulnerable
searing
drive
warming
pummeled
bigger
“climate shocks”
devastated
“scores of people missing”
deadly
extreme
devastating
“coral dies”
“hottest year”
deadlier
painfully
“climate justice”
endangered
So they say. Guess what. Etc don’t care about us. Or anything for that matter. Wasn’t a bunch of rainforest destroyed to build this venue and access to it?
Goodness gracious. Ape Pee is like the Japanese soldier in the tunnel who hasn't heard that WWII is over.
Ask them what caused the Little Ice Age. And the big ones, too.
What BS!!
Just another welfare scheme on a global scale by deadbeat countries run by despots who would pocket that money.
One of the best thing Trump has done is get us out of the Paris climate scam.
Why is this global warming selective? They say it’s here when it’s not there.
It seems only right to BAN all flights to and from Tuvalu, in order to decarbonize travel and tourism there. SAVE TUVALU!
As to any "shameful disregard for the rest of the world," I share in a deep and wide disregard for so many of the world's politicians, and especially for the environmental ministries who logo surely mist be a begging bowl. Gimme. Gimme. Gimme.
Well, the loser enviroRATS need to start doing something about it. All the flatulence isn’t going anywhere. They need to do something for themselves instead of throwing tantrums for somebody else to clean up their messes.
REPARATIONS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE IS SOMETHING THE FAR LEFT CHIMPANZEES DO. TALK TO THEM. SOROS CAN GIVE YOU THE 300 BILLION YOU THEIVES WANT. HE PRINTS HIS OWN BILLIONS.
I’m still waiting for an explanation of the Medieval Warming Period, which occurred centuries prior to the introduction of the Internal Combustion Engine.
They need to ask the rich Africans from Kenya and Uganda to help them out. After all, they are the people of Barky and Mandi.
I need help to fight off the army of Unicorns that invaded my backyard.
Lol.
Tell it to the sun.
For sure, what a load of BS.
The volcano Hunga Tonga says, “Hello to 13% more water vapor in the atmosphere, hence warming issues caused by it.”
Morons

Let me be very clear—those who refuse to help me fight off these Unicorns are Unicorn deniers.
Unicorn deniers are ignorant haters!
Lol.
