Reparations anyone? This just gets more interesting.

Now you're starting to see the damage you're doing by spreading all of this climate change nonsense.

 

[dik]

Sorry Tug... it's not nonsense... like it or not, it's happening. It gets really interesting when countries that have a small carbon footprint are harmed by countries with a large on. Who picks up the 'tab' for the harm done to them?

More nonesene. Pakistan has been flooding for a very long time.

1992 and 2010 both saw nearly double the deaths. Only recently did Pakistan realize they could monetize their weather by claiming climate change.

Don't forget, Pakistan sponsors terrorist organizations so they should never be gifted money.

 

[dik]

The example was Pakistan, but the statement wasn't limited to them. It's an interesting question, nonetheless...

When you blame every single weather event on climate change this is what you get. A bunch of people sticking their fingers in the pot. If we cared about climate change we would be spending the money here. Then again, preventing climate change isn't the goal.

I build a house on a flood plain. A flood happens, again. Dik, please pay me for the loss of my house.

Not me... Australia has one of the higher per capita carbon footprints... maybe, time to pay the piper?

It most certainly should be!

No, the goal is money.

 

[dik]

Maybe, therein, lies the problem.

So the bit that flooded in Pakistan has never flooded before? Wrong, it floods every 10 years, more or less. Even Nature, which regularly indulges in climate porn, says "Human-induced global warming could also be intensifying downpours. "

Geothermal pool experiment? At least we still have water...

I see no justice here. This is just an attempt to get government subsidies for a resort for the ultra wealthy.

Do you not see the patterns in what you post?

 

[dik]

There is no justice here, Tug... which is why countries may be suing for reparations... As I noted a lot earlier, things could get really ugly... It's the type of society that has been created and it's not easy to undo.

Tug,

Please stop encouraging him. Your time can be better used.

 

[TugboatEng]

It's going to get ugly if we pay reparations to a terrorist government. Next, Iran is going to want a piece of the pie. Don't create these stupid situations and the world will be fine, no ugly. We need only ignore Pakistan.

Hokie, dik showed his true colors when he posted that Socialist China link. This is only entertainment at this point.

 

[dik]

You would think... Poland, just recently, was looking for reparations from Germany for WWII issues... has nothing to do with alleged terrorist countries.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion.. but you two are opposite sides of the same coin. Sensationalism and denialism are bedfellows.
