They were here before you. Have been for years. That said this is a very bad look for the West. But everyone could have seen this coming. China India and others will use it to justify their unregulated polluting. Even though that’s just more hypocrisy.
I’m definitely not keen on the idea of just paying out cash reparations to all these other countries. But I think that for a fraction of what we spend militarily. We could philanthropically spend helping to build cleaner infrastructure elsewhere in the world as well as good relations. Though honestly that’s the opposite of what we normally do. Constantly trying to destabilize and sabotage everyone else.
The funny thing is that Kerry did actually commit America to a UN program that sends money to people affected by climate change. It’s just not called a “reparations” program.
Many other countries will join the US in funding this program. But not China. In fact, Chinese leaders couldn’t even be bothered to show up to the climate change conference (COP27) where this was discussed.
This guy is a China shill. Review his post and comment history. He’s spamming all the news communities with stuff like this.
I mean, thehill is still a pretty reputable news source, so why does it matter who posts it?
Propaganda isn’t all lies.
TheHill is propaganda? I guess any article that you don’t like is also propaganda, then…
I’m not disputing the story. I think knowing the OPs motivation for posting it is useful info.
So you make a strawman then base a wildly speculative assumption on it?
Do you know more of them? I’ve just blocked one and planning to take names and block more.
Damn I was hoping lemmy being down-low for so long wouldn’t have any of those; guess they’ll slowly infect any growing community.
