COP27 Fail: John Kerry MIA as Delegates Demand the USA Pay for “Loss and Damage”

Essay by Eric Worrall

Could this be the worst diplomatic embarrassment John Kerry has ever inflicted on the United States? Even worse than shaking hands with an accused narco-terrorist?

Split Between Rich and Poor Nations Deadlocks Climate Talks

Debate intensified over a contentious issue — the creation of a fund to help poor and vulnerable countries pay for “loss and damage” caused by climate change.

The United States, historically the world’s biggest polluter, has resisted the idea of compensation for climate-related disasters, fearing it could face unlimited liability. But the country stood increasingly isolated on Friday after the European Union and a vocal group of developing countries had backed different plans to establish a new fund as early as this year.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The United States, historically the world’s biggest PRODUCER of goods,services,medical care,science,etc,etc,etc,is now being accused BY THE PARASITES that benefitted from our creations and productions of harming them.

Guess what,bubbas? Manufacturing and creating food,tools,machinery,crops,science,etc,etc,etc by the United States is the ONLY reason you aren't starving to death in your own filth and disease today. You are lucky we aren't sending you bills and threatening to cut you off if you don't pay.

Wouldn't it have been simpler for them to have just stated "We are parasites that need your help in order to survive!"?

The ONLY thing John Kerry would be good for is target practice.

Talk to Xi about your damn climate damages. China is responsible for most of the pollution.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

The republicans need to put their feet down on this one (yeah, I know, Charlie Brown territory).
