Page 122, Item 17 of the Climate Change Treaty is quite questionable. How will the LDC's (least developed countries) and future generations interpret this wording?
{[Developed [and developing] countries] [Developed and developing country parties] [All parties] [shall] [should]: } (a) Compensate for damage to the LDC's economy and also compensate for lost opportunities, resources, lives, land and dignity, as many will become environmental refugees;
(b) Africa, in the context of environmental justice, should be equitably compensated for environmental, social, and economic losses arising from the implementation of response measures.
Really look at this wording...if America goes broke, will war be declared because we have no resources or funding to give? All eyes look to America because they interpret us as rich. Will industrial taxes be enlarged because of this treaty on top of the already planned Carbon Emissions taxes proposed? Will it eventually cause America's industry to go broke? How far do you think LDC's will milk developed countries for finances?
Dignity? How far will a LDC take that one? How do "they" interpret dignity? We are responsible for their dignity? Was Russia held responsible for the loss of dignity in allowing their peoples to live in poverty? Is America going to compensate our own peoples for the loss of their dignity because of poverty and environmental losses here? I haven't seen it, have you?
Have we really stopped to contemplate how we've committed America in this treaty? Could we have come to a better understanding or agreement without promising something we may not be able to give in the future?
What does our future hold? What MUTATION are we giving our children?
