U.N. Warns U.S. It Cannot Escape Paying Punitive Climate ‘Reparations'
[BreakTheMatrix] The United States was warned Wednesday by the United Nations it cannot avoid compensating poorer nations hit by climate change, despite Donald Trump honoring his election promise of leaving the 2015 Paris climate agreement.
Get rekt UN.
They’re going to say that to a man who used to work with the Teamsters and even more interesting people? How adorable.
Delegates and observers at the COP25 negotiations in Madrid told AFP that Washington seeks a change to the U.N. climate convention that could release it from punitive "loss and damage" funding for developing nations which is predicted to run into the billions of dollars.

Under the bedrock U.N. climate treaty, adopted in 1992, rich nations agreed to help developing countries prepare for unavoidable future climate impacts ‐ the twin pillars of "mitigation" and "adaptation".

But there was no provision for helping countries and small island states now calling for compensation.

A new mechanism was established in 2013, but with damage estimates climbing, there is no agreement on where the money might come from or even if it should be paid, although the U.S. is constantly the target of calls for financial reparations because it is rich, successful and a dominant world economic force.
Which is the entire point of the Paris Agreement in the first place. It had nothing to do with climate, it was a straight-up globalist wealth transfer from us to hostile countries who hate us.

Deport the UN.

#1 Have the UN Secretary impaled on the white house lawn. That should send the proper message.

Now, now, lets not be hasty - I don't even want to imagine Melania response.

There's no problem in the world that can't be 'fixed' with tons of money from Uncle Sugar!

#6 I like Crazy Fool's idea in #2 - simply deduct any "required" payment from our UN dues.

#9 The UN should be in Liberia where the message that "leaving WASP culture behind leaves wealth creation" behind should resonate
