Pakistan and other developing countries have been pushing for “climate reparations” at the upcoming international climate conference in Egypt, not just from the UK, but from all the wealthier nations of the West. As reported by the Associated Press, the drive for climate compensation has been further driven by Pakistan’s damaging floods.
Pakistan is being brazenly entitled. No one owes Pakistan anything. And after initially appearing to support the idea, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has backed off from it. Leftists are complaining that his new stance is a “blow to vulnerable states.”
Despite this positive turnaround, Sunak still buys into the climate change hoax. Although he made “no reference to the topic” of “climate reparations,” he recommitted “a 2020 pledge of £11.6bn for climate funding over five years and tripling to £1.5bn the UK’s contribution towards measures to boost resilience against future disasters.”
While green climate change fanatics find themselves short on energy to the point of desperation in their respective countries since the Russian-Ukraine war, the UN chief continues to scream that the sky is falling, and relentlessly promotes the green agenda. The Independent recently published an illuminating article about his climate advocacy: ‘Highway to climate hell’: UN chief warns world losing battle against warming.
The climate change hoax is nothing more than a reorganization of the world’s economy in line with a Marxist model; it is being pushed hard now by the World Economic Forum. But such plans began long ago under the Kyoto Protocol, which targeted wealthier industrialized countries to limit or reduce their emissions. Under it, a game of “carbon credits” was played, in which developing countries “earned” carbon credits that they could trade or even sell to developed countries. In other words, this was a method to suck money from richer countries. With the advance of the green movement, “climate reparations” is now the term that is being used to penalize the West.
Taxpayer money from citizens of the UK and other Western countries should not even be considered in discussing “climate reparations” for Pakistan and other Third World countries, especially given Pakistan’s own polluting habits. In addition, Pakistan is a state funder of jihad violence. And two months ago, it urged the world to “engage with the Taliban.”
Sunak is being watched closely as the UK’s new prime minister, and he already faces pressure from Islamic supremacist groups and individuals, who likely support the idea of dhimmi money being sent off to Pakistan.
“PM Sunak Opens Door to Climate ‘Reparations’ for Pakistan and Other Third World Govts,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart,
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government has signalled it is open to discussing climate “reparations” for the likes of Pakistan, as he prepares tax hikes and public service cuts at home in the name of fiscal responsibility.
The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is leading a bloc of countries demanding climate change “reparations” from the West, despite their own less than environmentally friendly behaviour, and British business secretary Grant Shapps MP said the Sunak administration was “accepting the principle there’s a discussion to be had about this” at the COP27 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt, according to The Times.
“We industrialised first and we appreciate the rest of the world needs to be able to bring themselves along as well,” Shapps added, indicating that the Sunak administration is happy to continue the status quo in which China and other non-Western nations can continue to burn coal and enjoy relatively cheap energy while the likes of Britain cripple their industries with anti-carbon policies.
The Telegraph, which is close to Britain’s government Conservative Party, reports that Sunak has already committed to pledging £65.5 million to support green initiatives in the Third World, and will tell COP27 — which he initially said he would skip in order to focus on domestic crises — that “we can turn our struggle against climate change into a global mission for new jobs and clean growth.”…….
“Blow to vulnerable states as Rishi Sunak shuns calls for climate reparations,” by Saphora Smith and Andrew Woodcock, Independent, November 8, 2022:
Rishi Sunak has dealt a blow to the developing countries hardest-hit by climate change by shunning appeals for the UK to contribute towards reparations for the natural disasters caused by hundreds of years of industrial pollution.
Thirty-year-old demands for a fund to pay for the permanent loss and damage caused by extreme weather were discussed for the first time on the floor of the Cop27 climate change conference in Egypt, with calls for the UK and other rich nations to join Belgium, Denmark and Scotland in committing cash.
But the prime minister made no reference to the topic in his five-minute speech in the resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh, instead recommitting to a 2020 pledge of £11.6bn for climate funding over five years and tripling to £1.5bn the UK’s contribution towards measures to boost resilience against future disasters.
Handing over the presidency of the United Nations climate change process following last year’s UK-hosted summit in Glasgow, Mr Sunak insisted there was “room for hope” if the struggle against climate change becomes “a global mission for new jobs and clean growth” though renewable energy.
