Over 120 world leaders gathered at Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, today for the United Nations cop27 climate summit. The summit comes after the past few months have seen catastrophic flooding in developing countries like Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.

Reparations? Expected to be discussed is “loss and damage” reparations payments. Many developing nations claim that with increasing climate disasters they are unable to adequately prepare for, wealthier countries owe them financial compensation. A June report from 55 countries estimated a cost of $525 billion.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is among the guests. On Sunday, British negotiators agreed to address “loss and damages” concerns. Sunak meanwhile has pledged to give £65.5 million (us$75.1 million) to poorer nations to fund green technologies.

The real issue: Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote the following about the 2015 climate change summit in Paris:

Everyone should want a clean environment and for everything to function properly. We should be good stewards of this beautiful planet. But the Paris Agreement was not about that. … What is happening here is not about the environment. It is about destroying the United States. The regulations this accord binds America to abide by, and the funding it obligates America to provide, accomplish that purpose very nicely.

“Solutions” to climate change invariably mean giving more control to governments and weakening the U.S. while countries like China either ignore their commitments or make no commitments at all. As Mr. Flurry wrote: “The Obama administration didn’t want to get climate change under control; it wanted to get America under its control!”
