DHAKA (AFP) - Bangladesh wants rich nations to pay the billions of dollars it says it needs to help fight the effects of climate change because they are the biggest environmental culprits.
< >
"We need at least four billion dollars at least by 2020 to build dams, cyclone shelters, plant trees along the coast and build infrastructure and capacities to adapt to increasing number of natural disasters," Kabir said.
< >
"We hope Western countries will grant the money as compensation for being the biggest carbon emitters," Kabir said. "They are responsible for our woes and the increasing number of the disasters that befall on us."

Of course it does.
Yes, this is what is really going on. And exactly how do they intend to “fight climate change” with those billions?
Rush tomorrow: “See, I told you so. Don’t doubt me!”
""We need at least four billion dollars at least by 2020 to build dams, cyclone shelters, plant trees along the coast and build infrastructure and capacities to adapt to increasing number of natural disasters," Kabir said."
I thought this was satire for a second. How do you say go away in Bangladeshian?
This is a broke country. We could give them 40 billion dollars and they’d still have 50 thousand people die at the first annual cyclone.
You don't. They just leave.
Suppose we keep the billions and build our own stuff to combat natural disasters, infrastructure -— blah blah blah. The climate won't care one way or the other, only the money cares.
"We especially need help from those rich nations whose carbon emissions have created the problems -- and they should also be prepared to open their doors to the millions of Bangladeshis who will become climate refugees."
I think not.
Try Zimbabwe, they know how to fix all that western culture does wrong.
Is he Bangladeshi or Egyptian, 'cause he's in denial.
Hey, Decimon, you might have added “(Barf bag Alert!)” alongside the title, hee-hee.
It is always amazing how some nations are demoralized and flattened after a natural catastrophe, decade after decade, when experience and history tells them they should be prepared. But they never do prepare.
By comparison, along our Gulf coast and the southeastern seaboard, our people are, by and large, prepared for hurricanes which occurr regularly every year. And we don’t whine that someone else must prepare us for the worst catastrophes.
Major religous-cultural differences, perhaps?
Mass disaster has been their lot since time immemorial.
LOL! Okay. Let me get this straight. LOL! The American taxpayer is going to have to come off big bucks to “fight global warming” here in America if Obama gets elected. LOL! Now, Bangladesh wants the LOL! American taxpayers to pay big bucks Bangladesh so they can “fight global warming” there too? ROTFL!!! What are those people smoking? LOL! Zerobama isn’t the president yet and it ain’t “lookin’ good” right now. LOL!
“Bangladesh wants rich nations to pay the billions of dollars it says it needs to help fight the effects of climate change because they are the biggest environmental culprits.”
Now let’s see if the West accepts this BS and pay for this environmental blackmail. Give them the billions and it will disappear in the wrong pockets and no improvement in the environmental cleanup will be noticeable.
Reminds me of the Billions of dollars Bush sent to Africa to combat AIDS. Have we ever been informed what the result was of our (insane) generosity? Last I heard they’re still screwing each other to death.
Let's see, you bred like rabbits and you've burned everything that's capable of burning and now we should plant trees! Aha........no.
Kabir, step away from the hash pipe. Perhaps he should deploy a 411 e-mail scam campaign. He’d probably have better luck.
It doesn't. As per the article, it is to counter the effects of climate change.
” Kabir said. “They are responsible for our woes and the increasing number of the disasters that befall on us.”
I doubt that’s true, but Western nations are responsible for your having things like electricity (and all the things it powers), automobiles, telephones, computers, cell phones, and I could go on and on.
What say all the non-inventing nations pay a small royalty to the Western nations for each person using one of the inventions supplied by the West?
Or maybe you should just give up this ridiculous shakedown operation. The West owes you nothing. Whether they might choose to help finance some infrastructure projects is an entirely independent decision. Or it should be.
Bangladesh has some of the richest farmland in the world, but they only grow the unwanted and worthless fiber jute. Why is that?
Bangladesh has the largest per capita government of any nation in the world. Its largest government agency is the Department of Jute. Why is that?
Bangladesh has a lower population density than most California suburbs, yet their people pack together in slums. Why is that?
Two reasons. Socialism and Islam. If they would give up the restrictions placed on their economy and prosperity by those two things, in twenty years, they could have a higher standard of living than Switzerland. But they won’t even consider it.
Bangladesh never used to flood or get in the way of cyclones before the SUV?
Stick ‘em up!
“and they should also be prepared to open their doors to the millions of Bangladeshis who will become climate refugees.”
Don’t think there aren’t a fair number of guilt-ridden, self-hating Westerners who will agree with that.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
I say Bangledesh should get a prize for simply applying the lunacy of the left.....
ROFLMAO ...
I suggest they get extra long underwear for the coming winter.
“cyclone shelters”
How about a cyclone fence?
Bangladesh actually has hundreds of square miles more land usable mass than it did just ten years ago because of silt building it's river deltas.
> “We need at least four billion dollars at least by 2020 to build dams, cyclone shelters, plant trees along the coast and build infrastructure and capacities to adapt to increasing number of natural disasters,”
Yes you IDIOT.. Natural Disasters. The call them that becuase they occur NATURALLY as they have since the beginng of time.
Good Lord this world if full of idiots, morons and liberals........
So once again Bangledesh is “Bang-the-Dish”...this time wanting a $4B handout. I don't want them to get four-cents from the USA...I want them DEAD....preferably in large numbers. Barring another “act of God” such as a cyclone to help further depopulate their 90% MUSLIM population, I recommend they go to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or to some other “fellow Muslim” country with a lot of money. Lord knows how generous those countries are toward other Muslim countries in need.
The less followers of the pagan Moon-God in this world, the better off the world will be. As for sending any of my tax money —forget it!
I am confident that they will step up and meet your demand request.
You can take that to the bank.....trust me.....
Shame on them. Any self respecting extortionist cesspool government would raise funds properly, Nigerian email scammer-style.

“They are responsible for our woes and the increasing number of the disasters that befall on us.”
You morons have been living in flood plain for centuries. If you don’t have enough sense to leave, screw you.
“They are responsible for our woes and the increasing number of the disasters that befall on us.”

I feel terrible about this. We should give them the 4 billion with the promise of more as soon as they need it.
But we owe so much more to the other poor nations of the world who suffer the effects of our greed and carelessness.
In addition I offer a sincere apology from the United States of America.
Sincerely
BH Obama
/s
Now, Bangladesh wants the LOL! American taxpayers to pay big bucks
________________________________________
Don’t LOL. This is a serious movement within the U.N.
Bangladesh as well as a majority of the General Assembly are dead serious about the transfer of wealth to them through world taxation and other scams to raid the west of their wealth. The west is destroying the world didn’t you know? /s
The scheme unfolds ...
Oh I know what’s going on. And once the non-taxpayers and the Kollege Kiddie Krusaders put their boy Obammie in the Oval Office, we are all toast. Third World banana republic, HERE WE COME!
The problem is not the West, it is the Bandladeshi whose Muslim population breed like rabvits. I say it is a Saudi problem.
Reminds me of the old Saddam program, ‘Oil for WMDs’
