The United Nations warned the United States cannot escape paying punitive climate ‘reparations.’
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.

The squeeze is on, so now I’m just going to sit back and wait to see what President Trump has to say about this!
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.
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.

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

One of the tasks facing delegates in Madrid is reviewing the framework for how countries might pay and account for this money. More
Get the United States out of the United Nations and the United Nations out of the United States. Until Donald Trump came along, our “representatives” had been systematically giving away little by little our sovereignty to the U.N. (such as when Obama gave away our control of the internet.
The thing is, everything is being handed over to corporate control, so that little inconveniences like the U.S. constitution are circumvented, as an international corporation doesn’t have to be bound by (in theory) any one nation’s rules or regulations.
