Women lead climate talks’ toughest topic: reparations

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Men usually outnumber and outrank women negotiators in climate talks, except when it comes to global warming’s thorniest diplomatic issue this year — reparations for climate disasters.

The issue of polluting nations paying vulnerable countries is handed over to women, who got the issue on the agenda after 30 years. Whether this year’s climate talks in Egypt succeed or fail mostly will come down to the issue called loss and damage in international negotiations, officials and experts say. It’s an issue that intertwines equity and economics, balancing the needs of those hurt and those who would pay.

Nearly all of the key players are women and they and others say better gender representation could yield better results.

“I think what we need at this crucial time is empathy ... We need to think about our world in the sense of taking care of our world,” said Chilean Environment Minister Maisa Rojas. “Maybe culturally, historically, they are seen as feminine values.”

If no one can define what a woman is, how in the he*l can a woman lead climate talks?

Maybe call her a child bearing carbon based organism capable of feeding a clump of cells when they pop out?

I dunno..

Introducing women into the debate is a dangerous development. Otherwise rational men get stupid where women are involved.

I wouldn’t give these damn grifters a plug nickel.

“Climate change” is the biggest scam in history.

Well, okay. China is far and away the greatest polluter in the world. So these gals ought to schedule a meeting with President Xi as soon as possible. And they shouldn’t leave until he gives in to all their demands.

The world was better off when most people expected women to just make sandwiches and babies. There. I said it.

Jo Jo, the mother of all climate Jackasses is already all in on this crap just like the Student Freeloader Tuition Loan Reparations. Brandon should be in prison right now. Not gallivanting around the world eating ice cream and passing gas on the taxpayers’ dollars.

The men and nations that created the living standard we enjoy today must be punished and their wealth confiscated.
That's what I hear.

Show me a third world nation not run incompetently and corruptly and/or according to socialistic principals despite not having other people’s money to piss off since the end of colonization: otherwise screw the lot. Don’t owe them a penny even if they had been well run..

Which side is Justin Trudeau on, the women or the men? Just kidding. You know he’s sitting on the side with the rest of the women.

China should pay and we should do our part by not manufacturing or farming anything for vulnerable nations. It’s what’s best for the climate.

In this case, “reparations” are code language for scam.

China isn't stupid. They're not consumed with guilt either.

This is about Western nations transferring massive wealth into the Swiss bank accounts of African despots (with financial firms like Goldman Sachs overseeing the transactions and taking their share of the action).

China will take no part in this.

No, being told you can be like God was ... though out of the out workings of the fall and sin what we call socialism is pretty high up there for scam factor and climate change is being used to sell that.

Socialism needs other peoples’ money to piss off.
