The US is the bad boy here when it comes to climate change.
The US and other first world nations are causing extreme weather in poor countries.
These poor countries want $100 billion per year from us and other first world nations to make up for what we are doing to the weather.
This was something that was brought up during the Copenhagen talks which fell apart.
We can only hope that the Paris talks will fall apart as well.
Poor nations want U.S. to pay reparations for extreme weather
Poorer nations suffering from extreme weather disasters, so much so that their citizens are seeking refuge in safer terrains outside their borders, want rich nations like the United States to pay for reparations and to relocate populations.
..
Preparatory talks ahead of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change to be held in Paris in December has representatives from developing nations asking for more than an already agreed upon $100 billion per year for climate change mitigation measures. They want additional compensation for weather-related disasters as well as a "displacement coordination facility" for refugees. And they want all this to be legally binding as part of the larger anticipated Paris accord.
Maybe those 3rd world countries need to kiss up to China and India. The US is making a serious try to clean up its air, rivers, land and so on. Are any of the "BRICS" doing that kind of thing?
They will eventually bleed the US dry. We waste money on foreign countries that don't give a damn about us when we have people in the US living below the poverty level and those in Appalachia with no healthcare or enough food. The WH doesn't care about them but wastes money on climate control when India and China are just making it worse.
Once cap and trade is passed and CCX goes into operation, every scam artist the world over will be hocking efficient cooking stoves and solar cells for people who live in mud huts and have an average life expectancy of about 27.
You`ll have no choice about participating because the cost of carbon credits will already be included in everything you buy, and those mutual funds in your 401K will tied to the Goldman-Sachs carbon-credit bubble whether it has CCX in it or not.
When the carbon-offset bubble bursts, the financial collapse of 2008 will become a footnote in history and unless you live like Grizzly Adams there is absolutely nothing you can do to avoid it.
Right now, even as the US continues to experience record cold and snowfall, there is a weather station in a third world hell hole reporting record warming while the CAGW moonbats here in the US tell us that only the US is experiencing this cold.
