In the annual tournament for cash handouts, the UN now enables charity for space-faring nations with slaves. Somehow, the demands for climate reparations were led by the nation burning more coal than the rest of the world combined, and no one laughed, or wondered whether they should mention it.
… a group of 77 developing countries, led by China, called for $US1.3 trillion a year in new, additional, adequate and affordable finance to address mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage.
–-Graham Lloyd, The Australian
It’s almost as if the CCP invented the UN definition of “developing” as an industrial weapon.
….OWID
Like most developing nations, two weeks ago China launched a manned spacecraft with propellants made from natural gas, and coal because it could not afford to use solar panels and windmills.
Oct 30: China puts astronauts in space aboard Shenzhou 19.
For the moment, the world’s poor have to settle for using unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) to get their citizens in orbit.
China’s space exploration plans include bringing back the first samples from Mars, and from the near-Earth asteroid Kamo’oalewa, and to look for ice in craters on the moon.
What’s the point when we call a nation “developed” — when it wrecks its own electricity grid?
Is any sentient peson surprised?
How can you spot an “honest politician”?
Once they are bought, they STAY bought.

Belt & Road Bankers want their money back from corrupt governments via a UN mandate……1.3T/year.
The music has stopped and the bill is due.
They all want access to the Fed printer. This is bound to get ugly as Musk may not be in agreement despite Tesla’s Chinese assets.
The Democrats have one last chance to bankrupt the US dollar. What will Biden do? Kowtow or hide? Stuck between the world’s spy agencies and China.
Can the Earth be saved by the “Printer”?
Biden wants a guaranteed pardon for treason. China wants control of the Euro and USD.
Trump thinks everything is negotiable.
What could go wrong?

Trump’s views on Climate Change are quite clear.
He will pull the USA out of the Paris agreement once again and the money supply will be severely affected.
EU, AUS, NZ and Canada will continue to support the nonsense but hopefully will come up short with the money!
That is the best I can hope for.

Peter, if we don’t revert back to a pre-Yorkshireman lifestyle of living in thatched huts (or caves when it rains) and eating birds (oh wait, they’re extinct) by 2030, New Zealanders will owe somebody $24,000,000,000 to help Tuvaluans sleep easy at night or Al Gore buy yet another seaside mansion.
Save The Earth = Spend A Fortune
(and never mind the children)
Private jets aren’t cheap to run y’know.

Developed world citizens (USA & others) buy goods from China. China banks the dollars, Euros, Pounds etc.,. The in-debt USA has to borrow money from China to support the slush funds of the ClimateCult™.
There is a problem with this.

We should pull out of this net zero fra-d and con trick ASAP and stop all future spending on toxic W & S and only build reliable long lasting base-load power from FFs or Nuclear.
Who really believes we should waste trillions of $ and destroy thousands of klms of our land and sea environments and replace this toxic lunacy every 15 to 20 years and all for SFA change to temperature or climate?
Do we really want to follow Germany + EU and the UK etc down the road to a much lower standard of living?

Australia could be a much wealthier and safer country if we quickly developed our energy reserves properly and then spent more of our money to defend ourselves and help our neighbours.
If we don’t do this other stronger countries will certainly take advantage of our weakness and stupidity.

Neville, you are far too sensible and I would have thought you would know that politicians, and unfortunately, those who vote for them, are not. We should be building coal fired power stations because they are easier to build and we have the infrastructure already in place. We should then electrify the rail network to reduce our dependency on diesel imports. Tim Fisher wanted to do that 30 years ago. He had to settle for the Adelaide to Darwin railway which is very handy with much of our military in the North and our diminishing manufacturing in the South.

Neville, we’ve been invading your land since we ‘cut ties’ with the colony of New South Wales way back in the 1800s. No boats for us – we fly across in luxury!
Go west, young men and women, thar’s sand in them thar hills 😃

New Zealand was part of the Colony of New South Wales until Federation of States 1901 and creation of the Commonwealth of Australia, New Zealand decided not to become a state.

New Zealand ceased being a part of NSW on on 1st July 1841.

I can guess what the 47th President of the United States of America, Donald J Trump, will say to that Chinese suggestion!
But I will save the moderators the effort to tidy up!!
I also know that the media and the lefties will all have a collective melt down (while secretly relieved they won’t have to cough up $$$)

The capitalist rocket, Starship, uses methane and liquid oxygen. Very clean burning.
You don’t get any more “environmentally friendly” than that.
The communist rocket uses UDMH which is toxic and a probable carcinogen.

That Chinese coal graph is insurmountable proof that climate change agenda is simply anti-western, because no one complains about China.
The per capita retort is the number one excuse. Which shows it is not about coal and carbon dioxide, it’s about equity. Therefore, they support burning coal as long as everyone gets the same amount. How else can you explain their complete lack of criticism of China? Well, it’s obvious, China is not white.

Good tactic by the CCP, continue to weaken developed nations and strengthen China, and plan to achieve a no war based takeover to create vassal states.

It surprised me when Trump said in the last few days, that the USA needs fossil fuels for its energy. With a country the size and population density of the US, I would think nuclear would be their main focus (and yes he did add, as well as nuclear). A lot of people to power you want the densest energy possible.
For Australia, we have a small population and loads of coal beneath where people live, and so we should use coal.
It amazes me the low population argument NEVER comes up.
It kind of does when people say if Aus didn’t exist it would make no difference to emissions at all, but that’s it. We have low population, we get a pass, even if co2 theory was correct.

Until there is enough nuclear energy to power the roads for induction-engined vehicles, fossil fuels are surely still going to be needed for transport. And they look like being needed even longer for air transport.

China is not asking for any money for themselves. G77 + China has over 100 members and is the primary spokespeople for the developing countries as a whole. The number is absurd but it is not for Chine in fact one of the big issues on the COP 29 table is China paying. The Treaty list of developing countries dates from 1992. China says they will pay some but are still developing on a per capita basis.

Australia is still in recession on a per capita basis. Can we tap in too?

This so-called “climate crisis” is an ingenious way to finance thousands of billions of money from governments over decades, and then say, look, there was no crisis, we have succeeded.
Of course, the clever ones may question such a conclusion, but one does not listen to their disinformation. After all, they make the bizarre claim that if the money had been spent on the welfare of the nation, things would be much better.

That may change when their population starts to plunge.
