Climate justice activists want countries of "the Global North" to make up for centuries of uneven industrialization, deforestation, extraction, and consumption.

Guilty as charged. You'll get nothing and like it. Case dismissed.


Climate Justice as Climate Reparations - JSTOR Daily


As global leaders gather at the UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai, there are growing calls for a reparative mechanism to compensate the world’s most vulnerable communities, the members of which are bearing the burden of anthropogenic climate change. Known by various names—“climate reparations,” “loss and damage,” or “climate justice”—these calls seek to redress the climate imbalance that threatens us all.The wealthiest and most powerful nations have opposed the idea of formally legislating this responsibility in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, as it would require a firm commitment to the redistribution of resources from colonial and imperial states to colonized communities around the world.  These colonial and imperial states (geographically situated in the Global North) have benefited from historical and current carbon emissions for their development, taking up more than their fair share of the “atmospheric budget.”  First and foremost, it’s difficult to compensate for harm when the harm is ongoing. The US is responsible for 25 percent of the world’s cumulative carbon emissions and is still the highest emitter per capita today. While the US seeks to address planetary consumption internally, it must not rely on “carbon leakage,” the dirty secret of the Global North’s carbon and natural resource consumption. Carbon leakage occurs when the Global North, seeking to reduce emissions within its own borders, relies on natural resources and production occurring in the Global South to satisfy an ever-in surmounting demand. Furthermore, material climate reparations in the form of monetary compensation, land and natural resource allocation, and debt cancellation would support the mitigation and adaptation efforts of vulnerable communities. As low-income communities develop, they need resources to transition to a decarbonized global economy. However, these policies must respect the sovereignty and agency of the communities they aim to support, free from imposed climate targets. Monetary compensation or debt cancellation shouldn’t have climate targets attached—there must be a trust-based approach to redistributing resources.  Basic Compensation for Victims of Climate Change: reparative efforts must go above and beyond pure material reparation. The evaluation of family, community, and nature in monetary terms for climate reparations purely “economizes” the anthropogenic climate crisis, which can obscure the need for a holistic approach to the redistribution of power. Moe-Lobeda emphasizes that Global North countries must consider their positionality and privilege within the crisis and allow vulnerable communities to create mechanisms of accountability for those with the responsibility of reparative justice.

Shut up, Punch.  These people DESERVE reparations.  And, I for one, and 1000% on board for giving them the reparations they so much need and deserve.  So, we will be rounding them all up and giving them an all expense-paid cruise to their new home, lovely Uganda.  This includes ground transportation to their new home, all-you-can-drink free grape koolaid, and non-stop music from DMX and Biggie B.I.G. hyped up on crack.

is it not true 90% of the human population lives above the equator?

Is it not true democracy is best?

when does 10% dictate what the other 90% does beyond the 1% typecasting the other 99% of ancestry alive to obey the law or lose their use of global economic methods to stay alive one at a time?

this is instinctive use of intellectual syllogism coming back on those intellectuals that have corrupted this species inside out every generation gap to this point in time evolving forward genetics eternally separates any reproduction native to this atmosphere now..

That's just not funny. 

I just see nothing funny about it. I mean, it's a cheap shot. It's just not funny. Nobody's laffin. We're all taken aback by the rudeness. The whole board is miffed.

wasn't supposed to be funny...you just needed to be clear....after all you nazi-types and the progressives have engaged in a loving embrace over Jew hate and Biden's benefactors....you most likely are picking up other bad habits...along with your nose

it looked like you were making an offer engage in masturbation at no cost to anyone if it in someway involved boys but someone needs to pay you to play with yourself if it involves girls.

I know I call you bitch but that doesn't mean you need to get all dick happy
