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.

What fresh hell is this today, it really really is getting difficult to get out of bed each day – the future consists of lies, corruption, doublespeak, denigration and destitution apparently.
When a man can put on a dress, proclaim he is a woman and have anyone who disagrees locked up, really anything is possible it seems.
Look at Sunaks smug face, he’s coining in 10s millions here clearly. This is their green piggy bank. Johnson was clearly a WEF placement as well but too prone to going off script, Sunak is clearly firmly on-script and fully controlled.
That’s just the next COPXY climate happening of the absurldy rich and not-so-sexy-anymore. Sunak originally said he didn’t want to go there due to more important concerns (like governing the UK) but apparently, someone harshly tugged on his leash which made him see the error of his ways. What will actually come out of that (usually not much except speeches) still remains to be seen.
Utter bloody nonsense. More garbage from the Davos Deviants. Fishy’s treason is becoming blatant. No wonder he had to be installed. Things are going to get seriously bad for us because he CGAF.
Well we can back “reparations” (FFS) but we cannot get involved. Fishy has spent everything and more. This shows that helping poorer nations is the last thing intended. Helping poorer nations would start with providing them with electricity.
More Orwellian crap. It will be interesting to see how this really pans out because it is definitely NOT about what they are saying it’s about.
He’s a treacherous farquhar that Fishy.
Exactly the world Bank ban on coal in Africa is just a form of genocide by stealth. Note the overseas aid given to provide the architects of this evil a moral sop.
One could suspect divided loyalties here. Sunak’s passport maybe British. But is his heart, too?
Green card holder, why?
Sunak is a WEF placement out to create serfdom through rationing energy, it could not be more obvious. How can anyone ask for yet more renewables when they are the cause of sky high energy prices. He is filth.
The non science arrogance and ignorace is astounding. Bankrupted countries spending trillions they don’t have to….control the weather? Has anyone informed the Sun, the Oceans, the 95% of Co2 emitted by Gaia, the Cloud cover, the 1 million inter-related variables of climate convection systems?
Clown world on steroids. We all know what they really want – a New World Order Totalitarianism premised on Gaia paganism where the elite rule and the peasants obey as they are slowly starved or stabbinated to death.
Why not just cut out the dodgy eco-mafia middle men and we’ll just burn our money at Drax.
The only reparations urgently needed are to the widows, widowers and still suffering victims of the demonically criminal jabbing fiasco.
As for the technology I have little doubt that the wherewithal to make virtually limitless free energy already exists and will be rolled out after Operation Depop is well under weigh.
What a load of tosh (the Johnson speech). Carbon dioxide (not carbon) is a chemical (by-)product of fires and hence, so-called ‘manmade’ CO2 started to appear when mankind started to use fire as a tool. Johnson really starts to resemble the so-called German president here: When in public, always prostrating himself theatrically and squealing My country is so guilty! So enormously guilty! How can anyone ever forgive us! We are all so guilty! Soo guilty! Can someone perhaps give this disgusting, bigotted wimp a couple of good kicks in the posterior? Manical hatred for one’s own country is all nice and dandy but I’m Boris Johnson and I really HATE England and everyone in it! is (for an Englishmen) not exactly a virtue.
Somewhat important aside: All of this, including the neurotical guilt-tripping and even the reparations come word-for-word from the post-1945 How to fix Germany script. The woketards aren’t exactly original. All then can ever do is Fight (imaginary) Nazis using the proven method they’ve learnt about in their youth, and because of that, everybody else on the world has to be defined as Nazi.
I believe that this all stems from the ‘inherent characteristic’ of the West, based on their religious past — there is a cultural need for ‘penance (self-inflicted punishment’ as a means to absolve ourselves from our sins’. This is a characteristic of Christianity — other religions don’t have this characteristic.
So we end up saying things such as we’ll suffer for the sins of empire (very lax attitudes to migration and enthusiasm for international development). The latest version of this is our need for penance for our sins of having the industrial revolution.
Of course, other countries might not want to offer the same, but they’d gladly take the free cash.
I concur with the idea of the Christian origins of this. But I believe it’s people deliberately reusing Christian tropes to further their preferred causes in front of an audience considered to be culturally receptive to them (whether or not this is actually true would be a different question).
Eco Fascism, Gaiaism, Druidism, Paganism has NOTHING the f* to do with Christianity. Quite the opposite.
You may have noticed the anti-human nature of this eco fascism.
I wrote about reusing Christian tropes, eg, the original sin everybody inherits, or (as amanensis wrote) the notion of lifelong penance for one’s sins in order attain mercy after death.
Over thinking. It’s Agenda 2030. That’s it.
Quite right too, HP. Let’s call it what it is – treason.
And the free cash, if ever provided, will be trousered by the ruling elite in the recipient countries
Kicks in the posterior? His head needs re-arranging with a steel capped, hobnailed boot.
Five years ago, if someone had told me the future was going to be most people in the West living in tiny, cramped quarters, plugged into a VR headset and being fed a paste made of lab-grown insects, I would have rejected it as an insane conspiracy theory. Now it looks like we’re on the verge of making this kind of existence what we work towards as a society. On a recent trip to the UK, I was struck by how many people have been gaslit into feeling guilt for enjoying nice weather, a holiday or any semblance of the comfortable existence humans struggled for literally thousands of years to achieve for the masses.
What I struggle to understand is how we’ve allowed this dystopian vision to be set in motion with so little real resistance. And without acknowledging the extent to which there is zero chance that the CCP or our own elites will subject themselves to this existence.
I do think a wake up is coming, much like Britain in the 1970s when the argument that the unions and militants in Labour were working for the people rather than their own Soviet-style dystopia collapsed around their ears. The solution has to be finding ways to encourage our youth to aspire to create a better life for themselves rather than the fascistic idea of a better society that is being thrust upon them.
Recently in an online French class, from French fake lame brain new that we have to discuss:
-Peugeot’s new VR self driving EV (rave reviews) (you don’t drive but your VR your own reality as the vehicle moves along)
-Pizza chain with a fully automated robotic process of making pizzas in store (no human intervention) (rave reviews)
-Why France should push for insects to be a part of the national diet and how they are full of protein (rave reviews)
I was the only one against all of them.
The whole f*ing planet is upside down.
Fantastic comment about house sizes. I am starting to wonder if the hatred the elites have for home ownership is a plot to create revolution?
I still live in the UK and exbrit it saddens me to say that I agree with every word you wrote. People here have been gaslit. I cannot talk to half my family about Britain’s positive contribution to the modern world, or pointless net zero targets. Sadly most people only take a close look at what’s going on after the s**t hits the fan. I hope that the next generation rebel against this current nonsense.
It is far more complex than a simple ‘the west made lots of CO2 and it is affecting less developed countries’.
Eg, take Pakistan (their example). As a result of the technological advances made possible through the expenditure of energy, they’ve had access to advances in modern farming, food distribution and healthcare (medicine). Note I’m not saying that only the west has done this, just that Pakistan has had access to these technologies which couldn’t have occurred without those early CO2 intensive stages of the industrial revolution.
Pakistan has chosen to use these advantages offered by two centuries of global advancement to increase its population nearly fourfold over the last 50 years. Each of those ‘increased population’ might now be generating less CO2 than individuals in western countries, but the population growth means that the actual increase in CO2 for the size of the country is immense.
What’s more, much of the problems they’ve apparently experienced as a result of ‘climate change’ could well simply be a result of the population growth — eg, population centres tend to be in or near floodable areas, and there will almost certainly have been an urban spread into floodplains that could at least partly explain their difficulties in their recent flood events.
These countries want the benefits of industrialisation but want all of the blame to be placed on those countries that undertook the groundwork that enables them to have these benefits.
I’d also note that our forebears that created the groundwork for these advances that we now all (worldwide) take for granted weren’t some toffs living it up in mansions — they were in the main poor people who led fairly grim existences (even by the standards of modern Pakistan) — for example, my ancestors worked down lead mines, and suffered lifelong ill health and reduced lifespans as a result.
IMHO, per capita CO2 emission is (another) nonsense quotient invented for political reasons (mainly, to beat up people living in large-GDP-fairly-small-population countries, eg Germany, compared to large CO2 emittors with huge populations like India). By-and-large CO2 emissions happen as side-effect of economic activities. Because of this, I think something like CO2-per-trillion-dollars-GDP is more sensible.
Not to mention being rich and modernising enough to develop nuclear weapons and finance Islamic terror. This idea that some of the most corrupt failed states in the world are going to be bankrolled by struggling taxpayers in the west so that rich Brahmins like Sunak and Sharja and non entities like Sturgeon can virtue signal is beyond contempt.
The floods in Pakistan were clearly on flood planes. The pictures on TV showed half flooded houses as far as the eye could see. That type of billiard table flat landscape is laid down by the deposits of countless floods going back over many millennia. Some of the houses were on raised mounds showing that floods were not entirely unexpected.
As the saying goes, ‘A few billion here, and a few billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking serious money’.
This has become so catastrophically absurd and insane now that everything seems to be narrowing to one single explanation; The Chinese now own and run our politicians either through blackmail or through bribery.
Sunak, Hunt, Biden, Millipede and the rest of the WEF/Davos cartel are their arm in the West and like the parasitic wasp, these lifeless drones are the paralysing poison the Chinese use to inject us with, weakening the most vital part of our immune systems – our energy security, feeding off us sucking all our money and resources into nations they now control and finally and ultimately, consuming our lifeless corpse.
Either way what our Prime Minister and his cohorts are engaged in is high treason.
Spot on!
Hardly surprising that Climate Change turned out to be a big scam to syphon money from the West to Communist China whilst destroying our energy independence.
What a fantastic scam.
Get relatively richer countries to subsidise the roll out of renewables in the relatively poorer countries.
The overall goal is the same. Destroy the markets for fossil fuels our western elites no longer control and replace them with the renewable energy sources which they do control.
They’ve pretty much managed to corner the markets in the west with their net zero plans. And now they’re moving into the developing world. What the poor south can’t pay for, we make up the difference with our “reparations”
The media does the advertising, bombarding us with relentless climate change scare stories. The politicians marshal the people. The bureaucracy collects the money and hands it over to the renewable companies. Everyone gets paid along the way.
And the people of course get screwed – because most of them are too dopey to see the scam.
You’ve got to hand it to them, it’s a very good scam, well executed at a global scale.
‘Dear aliens from outer space.
‘Please abduct me. I will tolerate vivisection and probes wherever you want to stick them, because it can’t be any worse than the a***hole of a world I’m living in now!!’
Where, in any election manifesto, did the British public vote for this complete nonsense? Our political class is determined to bankrupt and destroy the lives of the people of our country, presumably to be granted eternal power and money by their Chinese paymasters.
The posturing Disney Science lunacy of any statements emerging from CON27 are to be laughed at with greatest zeal, the ‘delegates’ should be herded out of their publicly funded 5* hotels into the desert wastes by all the right thinking peoples of this wholesome pleasant earth. Perhaps they will find the locusts to eat that they so fervently recommend to us. The attendees of CON27 speak for nobody but themselves, represent nobody but themselves, scheme and berate the people of this planet for nothing but their own enrichment and self-aggrandisement.
CON27 is a pitiful charade of unholy self-delusion but we see its nakedness. Even the dogs in the street see it, smell it, recoil from it.
Aren’t we starting to see that most private jets are pretty much like Epstein’s jet. No morality, ethics, fair play, virtue, decency reside within. It’s ‘do as you wilt’, all the way through like a stick of rock.
But more and more people are seeing it for what it’s worth.
What is this posturing, nauseating circus worth? Zero.
CON27. Sayonara.
I just noticed the opening picture. That Fishy is a hard-faced sod wearing a poppy given the destruction he is engaged in.
Boris Johnson, on the other hand, has said the U.K. cannot afford climate ‘reparations’.
These idiots don’t even know the different between carbon dioxide and carbon.

This is hideous, I know, but £65M? It’s nothing. It might pay for a small field of crappy PV arrays somewhere.
Virtue signalling codswallop. Enough to satisfy the numerically challenged Green Fringe.
I don’t think the amount matters Marcus. What matters is that Fishy has signed up and thus given himself some cover for his tax rises.
I get it, Hux. But my point is that it indicates (imho) that it’s just something to keep the green loons happy.
Welcome to the club.
Poland wants a few trillions from Germany.
Me thinks they’ll all sign off on this, probably the Americans too and with a few trillions added on for blacks and natives bad feelings, and then default via hyperinflationary collapses of the major currencies.
That way, everyone can and will argue that the bills have been settled and we can all start anew from scratch, monetarily and morally.
I certainly can’t see any other logical reason for such idiotic demands and all that ridiculous profligation by Western governments anymore.
The collective derangement of our lords and masters continues.
Insanity appears to be too easily transmissible.
Be ready to fight, but at present the only weapon available is non-compliance.
“We can help countries like Kenya” (Sino Sunak, I think, at COP27)
No, Mr. Sino. If you want to help Kenya (and the UK and many other countries besides), you don’t shut down the economy for months. Kenya’s economy was devastated by lost exports in the key flower growing industry (and lost tourism), and not least to the UK as a result of their lockdowns supported by Sino Sunak. As a result of the poverty caused, families in Kenya resorted to eating zebras, and teenage girls had to do “bad things” just to survive. These lethal lockdowns must never be repeated, and this globalist, wealth destroying climate scare nonsense must be abandoned, but it looks increasingly clear that this government are part of the problem.
Interesting that Kenya was the chosen example. I was there in 1974, when Jomo Kenyatta was in charge. The country was flourishing and although it was accepted that the President and his cronies were skimming off the foreign aid contributions the infrastructure was being improved and country was on the up. My next visit was in 1983 when Daniel Arap Moi had taken over. The skimming off now was very evident as all the earlier signs of improvement had vanished and the infrasctructure was crumbling. There was an editorial in ‘The Nation’, the national english language newspaper. It highlighted how all the African countries granted independence from the UK were all economic basket cases and it concluded by asking the UK to come back and take over the country!
Any chance on a vote for Net Zero and now this new hell?
We had two hot days in July because of China’s new coal plants. I presume my cheque is in the post?
You know he’s a stooge, where could a policy like this win votes that could secure a Tory seat?
Meanwhile BBC’s Orwellian “Climate Change Misinformation Editor defends the global elite’s use of private jets.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/science-environment-63330171?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=6369341449d9ef23494b98fe%26What%27s%20the%20real%20impact%20of%20private%20jets%3F%262022-11-07T19%3A10%3A50.075Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:4c898d30-6cf0-4b96-959d-f9698dd596c3&pinned_post_asset_id=6369341449d9ef23494b98fe&pinned_post_type=share
I see that this ” disinformation reporter”(FFS) ultimately has to rely on modelling to support his case. And he is the disinformation reporter – you couldn’t make this shyte up.
“…if delivered, the pledges made at COP26 could lead to emissions savings 72,200 times larger than emissions produced by hosting the summit.”
So that’s alright then.
Rishi Sunak has a green card, Rishi Sunak has a father in law who is a billionaire based in India and who is a key player in the WEF. Rishi Sunak clearly hates the British and the country and is making us pay whilst he pushes his boot into each and every man, woman and child in this country,
Perhaps the Italians should pay reparations to us for what they did in the Roman invasion,
why aren’t the Germans paying us reparations for the destructions they visited on us and other countries during worild war 1 and 2.
I could go on as probably with the exception of America could every country. Sunak is a wolf in sheeps clothing, and is a clear and present danger to the citizens of the UK
Am I reading this right? We pay more, get less, and watch our money being given to countries “suffering” the unproven effects of the western industrialisation that has given them so much, while the political party that should be providing opposition (it’s in the name) – to a plan overseen by a Prime Minister no one voted for – rolls over and gives its blessing? Is that about it?
Thats what it looks like. You’ve summed it up nicely.
Exactly so. But even better, Hnut & Fishy get to virtue signal on the world satge with our money. And any so called ‘reparations’ will find their way into the Swiss bank accounts of the ruling elites. Remember: “Foreign aid can be sen as the transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries”.
Reparations were tried after WW1. That worked out well!
Could we have some gratitude for what the West has done for the rest of the world.
I am proud of our history and my ancestors.
Is the WEF trying to destroy the UK? Yes.
So now the fact that the Pakistani Government spent money on nuclear weapons and an extensive military, instead of flood defences, is OUR fault.
The British Establishment couldn’t get any more ridiculous if it tried.
On 17 November, Sunak/Hunt will tell the British people “there’s no money left” so they must be taxed to the hilt and Government spending must be cut.
And in the next breath they tell us they’re giving away £65.5 million to “compensate” other countries for their Government’s own failings.
I can’t think of a single reason why I’d vote for these morons.
One recent theory explaining ALL the observed climatic temperature variation on earth – for 4 billion years – is that when the planets “align” the sun’s output increases slightly – and this is enough to change the earth’s temperature.
Unlike the UN “models”, this theory can be tested and verified – and has been. So there is no need for reparations.
As I keep on saying – the inmates have definitely taken over the asylum. God help us all.
“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”.
OK – but take the money from Labour Party funds and not the public purse. I can think of much better ways to spend my contributions to the numerous taxes imposed by thieving governments- and I don’t agree with sending it to that money grabbing nutjob in the Ukraine, either.
Ed Miliband – another traitor, just like his odious brother David. These people are seriously mentally unbalanced. In a time of high costs of living for the people of the country they are meant to represent, the best thing they can think of is to spend money on wars and weapons for coke-addled tinpot dictators and ‘reparations’ for countries that suffer due to natural weather. It really is insane and the trouble is that friends of mine, who I though were intelligent thinkers, clearly aren’t because they think things like man-made climate change are real!
Do any of us get a vote on this? Does this get debated by parliament? Of course, it’s all a sham so it wouldn’t make any difference at all. These dimwits doing the bidding of their masters deserve nothing more than to be arrested for treason when they get back. This is utterly, utterly disgraceful. Goodbye Britain. And that so called King? He should be arrested too and held in the Tower!
Well what utter rubbish. The effect of increased CO2 on climate is marginal compared to other factors, but increased CO2 has helped increase the growth of foodstuffs that have helped reduce starvation in some developing countries. how does money help? If its used to obtain windfarm hardware or solar panels sourced from China, more carbon is added during their manufacture than they save. These COP meetings waste more CO2 than they save and CO2 emmissions have increasedsince each one of them. They are all about financing an industry with very little nett reduction in CO2 but generate enourmous profits for those running them. CO2 is not a pollutant but is essential for life on our planet,and its only biased and inaccurate models that show CO2 has a big effect on climate. Something the actual undistorted data does not supprt.
Un-elected Sunak out This guy trashed the economy on his watch and he wants to give taxpayers money as reparations. I trust he will demand reparation from the French for the Napoleonic Wars. He has renauged on all his promises made to the Conservative members at the recent leadership hustings. He is not to be trusted
Sunak will finish the Tories. The actual members were not allowed a vote because he would have lost it. I hope more members of the party will join an alternative party before its too late and there is time to replace the Tories with a party with genuine old conservative values and some actions that we can support. Those MP’s, and there are a few who are not in agreement with what the Tory party has become, need to gain the courage to join or create a party that has the interest of our country at its heart and that is not the Tories. They have two years to sort this or it will be too late and they will be kicked out along with the rest of the Tory party.
I sincerely hope he does destroy the Tory party. The failure of its membership to take action to deselect the huge number of non Conservative MPs may indicate they too are no longer prepared to uphold Conservative principles.
Even more reason to support, join and become active with centre Right challenger parties to represent Conservatism in 2024.
And once we are sitting in the cold and dark, hungry, impoverished exactly how will we generate the wealth to provide the cash? And since the World will be back in the Dark Ages what would ‘poorer’ Countries spend it on?
One minute Sammy Davos Sunak is too busy to go to the junket then 5 days later he wants to hand over one trillion to rent seekers while at the same time skimming another 60 billion from his own people in tax————-Has the western world gone totally insane? This is the biggest pseudo scientific fraud ever and we all just sit on our couch and take it
