Climate justice- damages and reparations

[Micawber]

"Hurricanes in the Caribbean and deadly floods across South Asia have once again raised the issue of climate justice.

The association between such events and climate change is now beyond serious question: we have had 30 years of well-founded scientific warnings about the relationship between increasing global temperatures and the incidence and severity of extreme weather. Much more problematic is the question of responsibility for climate change itself, and who should justly pay compensation for the resulting damage."

All the developed countries, and they should be indemnified by the industries that pollute, most notably the large oil companies.

Can we see the link between climate change and the lack of upper level wind shear lol?

Get your wallets out!

People have to give it time. We are on a great trend, coming up with alternative energy and fuels. But we have to make it so that its usage becomes more cost efficient, so that even the very poor can benefit. Until then, we will have to use fossil fuels and keep people's jobs. Eventually will can phase that out as we reeducate, perhaps relocate and become more efficient.
People have to feed their kids, they have to get to work somehow, they have to heat their homes. Give it time, we are getting there.

It is premature to conclude that human activities–and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity. That said, human activities may have already caused changes that are not yet detectable due to the small magnitude of the changes or observational limitations, or are not yet confidently modeled (e.g., aerosol effects on regional climate).

If people had listened 30 years ago, we would possibly be there, now. Coastal states could have built with sea level rise in mind for flood control, biologist could have developed fish that tolerated warmer waters. I just think of all the wasted time.

During the course of 100's of millions of years of evolution fish have adapted to much greater changes than even the most dire prophecies of AGW.

That's assuming there's anything to AGW. It's a theory, not a fact.

Interesting, so for thirty years your family profited off of fossil fuels. Your cushy retirement is funded by fossil fuels. Your breast cancer was cured because of fossil fuels.

Odd that you don't see that connection. I guess now that you got yours you don't mind screwing others? Sorta like Jarod.

Kudos blue hair.

Oh and the irony of you living in two of the biggest oil producing states isn't lost on me either. Just sayin sugar tits

I think you should have 80% of your personal wealth confiscated to pay them off. What say you?

It still would be beneficial to be ahead of the curve and help those species we rely on for food instead of reactive measures all the time.

It's such a hair brained idea it's beyond words.

Even if they could confiscate their wealth the money would be eaten up by graft and corruption in third world countries.

I sense the rightards warming to global warming, just as the vanguards predicted they would, due to its obvious affects meeting the very limited gaze of those short sighted jerks. Yes, lost years all thanks to consevative politicians oil money and the disinformation campaign. Still it's gratifying to hear the beeps of their truck backing up, even at this late date.

Sad it was necessary to place the onus on global infrastructure to accommodate the criminal oil enterprise Rather than on preventing big oil from bending Mother Nature over in the first place.
