President Biden has agreed to pay climate reparations to third world countries, many of them run by corrupt dictators who siphon off foreign aid for their own benefit. The Associated Press reports that the “U.S. will pay up to $1 billion to compensate developing countries for global warming — but gas-guzzling China” — the world’s biggest polluter — “WON’T have to pay into global fund.” “The fund, negotiated at the UN’s COP27 Summit, was originally known as a ‘loss and damage’ fund and had been blocked by previous administrations.”

The countries that would receive reparations are mostly in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Many of these countries have already received billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid, as either economic or humanitarian assistance, in the past.
