U.K. Backs $1 Trillion Climate ‘Reparations’ Initiative

by Will Jones
7 November 2022 1:00 PM

What fresh nonsense is this? Climate ‘reparations’ are coming, to compensate other countries for the ‘extreme weather’ they’ve been experiencing, which is allegedly our fault, because a model which has always been wrong said so. The U.K. has now backed the transparent scam. The Telegraph has more.

Britain has opened the door to paying climate change reparations to developing countries by supporting talks on the issue at the COP27 summit. 

On Sunday, at the meeting in Egypt, U.K. negotiators backed a last-minute agreement to address “loss and damage” payments to countries badly affected by climate-related disasters.

Rishi Sunak will appear at the conference in Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday, where he will pledge £65.5 million for green technology in developing countries. 

The Prime Minister will say: “By honouring the pledges we made in Glasgow, we can turn our struggle against climate change into a global mission for new jobs and clean growth. And we can bequeath our children a greener planet and a more prosperous future. That’s a legacy we could be proud of.” 

Boris Johnson will also deliver a speech warning against the “naysayers” who threaten Net Zero targets.

Pakistan is leading a push by developing countries including Bangladesh and the Maldives for compensation from richer countries responsible for most of the world’s pollution.

The U.K. backed the issue being on the COP27 agenda during two days of negotiations ahead of the Egypt summit and is understood to accept that a deal must be done over the economic cost of climate change, which is forecast to reach $1 trillion by 2050.

On Sunday night, a Downing Street source said Mr Sunak planned to “scale up progress and support” for developing countries suffering the worst effects of global warming.

The Prime Minister will come under pressure in Egypt to agree to a costly deal on reparations at the same time as he draws up plans for sweeping domestic tax rises and spending cuts. 

On Sunday night, Treasury sources said Jeremy Hunt had signed off up to £35 billion in spending cuts and up to £25 billion in tax hikes to fill an estimated financial black hole of £60 billion.

Labour has backed calls for the U.K. to pay other countries affected by climate change, with Ed Miliband, the shadow climate minister, calling it a “moral responsibility”. 

Alok Sharma, who held the COP presidency for the U.K., also called for “ambitious outcomes” on the issue of loss and damage. Disagreements over it threatened to derail the success of last year’s climate talks in Glasgow.

The Telegraph understands that the U.K. negotiating team accepts that the issue can no longer be kicked into the long grass. The British team are sympathetic to the position of developing countries that suffer from climate disasters, have not yet reached a position on whether, and how much, new funding needs to be committed. 

Wake up guys, it’s just another global wealth transfer boondoggle. There’s no evidence that convincingly links carbon dioxide emissions to increased ‘extreme weather’ – there isn’t even evidence of increased ‘extreme weather’.

Ross Clark in the Mail points out that, ludicrously, China is one of the countries demanding ‘reparations’, and that Labour climate spokesman Ed Miliband has committed a future Labour Government to making these payments in full.

Boris Johnson, on the other hand, has said the U.K. cannot afford climate ‘reparations’.

The United Kingdom was one of, if not the first, industrialised nation. The first wisps of carbon came out of the factories and mills and foundries of the West Midlands 200 years ago. We started it all. There’s no question that per capita the people of the U.K. have put a lot of carbon into the atmosphere. What we cannot do is make up for that in some kind of reparations. We simply do not have the financial resources. No country could. What we can do is help with the technology that can help to fix the problem.

Wrong premise obviously, but some fiscal realism at least that is lacking from the Sunak Government.

It’s quite simple, you can’t ‘test positive’ if you don’t get tested. Never have, never will.

The real damage from testing is the obsession with it and the impact on personal lives, work and society, and of course the crass, evil waste of money.

Those that test at home are very damaged goods. They are likely jabbed and so are already living on borrowed time.

This is woefully inaccurate and irresponsibly dismissive. While I don’t disagree with the wider issues you mention, there are far more aspects to the physical dangers of testing than you seem prepared to acknowledge, and as such this ATL article is LONG overdue. Roll back 14 months to 1st February 2021 when former nurse Debi Evans SRN was interviewed by UK column, and expressed serious concern about how “potentially dangerous” the “very invasive” nasal swabs (the “nose being the gateway to the brain”) could be.
The interview starts at around 34m 15s in, and maybe NOT for the squeamish.

Quite accurate BFF. Thanks for finding the interview. There is no reason to use an invasive and risky nasal swab test, saliva is quite adequate. It is either for theatre or to do real harm to the public.

The whole coronavirus “pandemic” and everything associated with it has been an exercise in sadism.

In my view it has been an exercise in subjugation, the sadism bit is just a fringe benefit for many of those doing the subjugation. It certainly has answered those earnest enquiries posed on Moral Maze type shows over the decades since WW2 such as:
Q. Where did the Nazis find so many torturers?
A. They were living next door to their victims all the time!!

I agree with what you say about saliva. There was plenty of time to devise a test to be widely used (if one were needed) that was not invasive, yet it seems nothing at all was done to replace these nasty procedures. Yet the thralls just went alone with it – still are.

Like so much of the last two years this was yet another piece of theatre designed to support a narrative.

I think the scale of distortion in our society is so great that most cannot accept these things as false i.e. the notion we would introduce useless tests to maintain a fictonal story of mass death that clearly did not materialize.

The lie is so great it has become difficult to persuade even intelligent people.

The lie was so great that many more influential people could have spoken out with no effect. I don’t think there were that many people actively trying to mislead. It just became a snowball that precious few could stop.

The MHRA said the reporting of an adverse testing incident in its database “does not necessarily mean the events described were caused by that medical device”. The agency added that it “could be due to unrelated patient/user factors”.

If a patient/user says that an adverse reaction was the result of a test, then it was, unless the MHRA can prove otherwise.

If someone dies after being hit by a car while they were crossing the road then they were killed as a result of a road accident. It might be that driver was a Mafia hitman and the accident was no accident, but that would need to be demonstrated not flagged as a possibility.

The MHRA is just trying to avoid the bloody obvious.

I know somebody who was getting nose bleeds from putting a cotton bud up their nose every day and thought the reason why they kept testing positive was because of the blood.

Yesterday I met somebody with some sort of respiratory disorder and was very proud of the fact that he had had 5 vaccine jabs.

There’s no cure for stupid.

I’ve been swabbing anally for over a year now and have suffered none of the above side effects.
It has even had the added bonus of limbering up muscles that otherwise went unstretched, and I feel healthier as a result.

“It then investigates any serious problems and logs them, to prevent similar incidents in the future.”
Like with jab adverse effects, they do absolutely nothing whatsoever to prevent harm.

If it’s disinformation, it has been done incredibly well. So many Covid anomalies are explained by this ‘venom theory’. Right now I don’t really know what to make of it.

I’d be inclined to seek a 2nd. and 3rd. opinion no matter what the source is/was.

It worked OK with Dr Mike Yeadon, Prof Sucharit Bhakdi, Dr Robert Malone and others. These three experts slowly fell into line, concluding that this is unlikely to be a cockup, i.e. it seems more malign than that.

The government instruction on how to do LFTs are quite telling here: They explicitly state that people still suffering from nose bleeds because of their last test should use the other nostril for their current test.

Nasal swabs have always been taken horizontally pre-covid. They were not done by lay-people who invariably push them up into the turbinates and Little’s area where everything is sensitive and vulnerable.

Of course, nobody was interested in telling the public that during mass-testing, any more than they were interested in the legitimacy or the screening itself. Or how face masks were worn. It was all virtue signalling with adverse effects.

That anyone would voluntarily stab something up their nose is astounding – so it must be part of the brainwashing that comes with the jab. I wonder how many unjabbed ‘test’ voluntarily.

I’m going in for an important medical procedure soon and am told I must have a test. I absolutely do not want it and have made that clear, but there is no choice. I will ask if I can have a saliva test instead – but rules is rules.
