Former US Secretary of State John Kerry stated on Thursday that “it would be great if there were some” climate reparations paid by US taxpayers to other nations.
Climate reparations is a concept which claims the US owes money to other countries for “past historical emissions,” or burning fuel for the hundred years or so.
Kerry first raised the idea of “climate reparations” in his capacity as the “Special Presidential Envoy for Climate” in November, claiming the US was “totally supportive” of the idea.

“So back on the loss and damage fund though, is there going to have to be US taxpayer money that helps the United States – presumably the united States is going to have to be one of the nations that contributes to the fund,” The Washington Post’s Sally Buzbee asked Kerry this week.
“Well, it would be great if there were some, uh-uh-uh, i-it’s – I mean the United States of America is proudly the largest humanitarian donor in the world,” Kerry replied.

Arguments for other forms of “reparations” have become increasing popular on the left in recent months.
In November, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee argued that giving black people “reparations” for slavery would have helped end the COVID-19 pandemic.
“There is no doubt that we have been impacted, that DNA, and the trans, the trajectory of slavery to today. For example, with COVID. Black African Americans have got COVID at a rate nearly one and half times higher than that of white people, or hospitalized at a rate nearly four times higher and three times likely to die,” she claimed.
“Interestingly, a recent peer reviewed study from Harvard medical school, Harvard medical school, suggests that reparations for African Americans could have cut COVID-19 transmission and infection rates both among blacks and the population at large,” Jackson Lee claimed.
“Reparations are curative. They are not punishment. The analysis continues to look at data throughout the nation,” she added.

Kerry and Biden can pay MY reparations, I don’t flit about in a jet all the damned time.
KERRY AND BIDEN CAN ALSO KISS MY WHITE FANNY.
It’s politicians like this that have destroyed America.
Climate Change IS NOT a function of the government of United States of America?
I can NOT find it anywhere in the Constitution of the United States of Amreica, Can you?
They, government has No Authority to do or be in, or force, fine, teach anyone about climate change or the new green deal. Where does the Government get the authority to do anything for climate change or do the new green deal?
The Constitution of the United States of America considers it Theft!
HEY Kerry. Let Germany pay for the two wold wars they started and caused the destruction of Europe .South Africa has been in wars for a lot of years. Japan for the wars they started and the destruction of islands in the Pacific.The United States were pulled into those conflicts. Stop making the U.S. the bank.
Communist China has announced that it doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the Earth’s climate. They will continue to pollute the atmosphere as much as they need to until Communist China is the world’s premier economic and military power. What do you have to say about that Kerry, you dumbass Democrat? Even that retard in the White House hasn’t come up with something as stupid as that. YET!
Biden is so stupidly ignorant of the fact that he is Obama’s Bitch!
Good Gravy, just how much money does Biden and Kerry want to send others for Climate reparations when there was little pollution or contamination even 100 years ago and trees and greenery thrive on high carbon levels. Look, America has made mistakes, but we’re not the ones dumping plastic in the oceans, building thousands of new coal plants, polluting our waters or air. When are these fools going to understand that every major population center on earth is contributing to a dirty Planet and Americans should not pay a disproportionate share of the damages. It’s like Biden and Kerry think the USA is a bottomless money pit. If you look at history, we’ve been bankrupt before and we should never allow that to happen again.
The DemonRats want to find the bottom of that ‘money pit’ thereby bankrupting the USA… this time PERMANENTLY, so the Communists can walk in and take over.
Sure, let Americans who are already suffering under this administration give other countries “reparations” for Climate. Time to get rid of Kerry and his nonsense.
It was my understanding that Democrats were the slave owners. So let all the democrats pay the money and while they are at it they can pay all the other Americans families who fought in the Civil war to free the slaves. Democrats created the salvery and Republicans fought to free the slaves. Let the democrats pay the money.
John Kerry is a fraud…..He let his troops down in NAM, got two purple hearts for scratching his finger, paving his early way home, then throwing them over the White House fence to protest something.?…In my opinion…HE IS A LOOSER…..AND…He is a Democrat…..He breaks all the climate rules…collects his money and screw the world……Oh…and Mr Kerry…..WHY DON’T YOU TAKE REPARATIONS FROM GOD BECAUSE HE IS LETTING HIS VALCANO LOOSE IN HAWAEE . What does that do to the CLIMATE….DUMB BUMB !!!! ….HELLO ???????
Been paying reparations to blacks for decades only it is called welfare. Reparations are not punishment, they sure are to the tax payer. What a sick society the democrats have built.
Of course, China and India and a bunch of other MAJOR Polluters will not have to PAY, but they will RECEIVE without any requirements to clean up their filthy act.
Thank you, China Joe!
