Good luck. Black people in America have been trying to get the USA to pay reparations for generations of enslavement, terrorism, and genocide. We deserve reparations too along with American native peoples. We will never get it though, so I am pretty sure 3rd party nations will never get it either. The only reparations America has paid so far has been to slave owners and Japanese Americans.

Climate change is largely America's fault, so Kerry's statement seems asinine to me, and quickly erases the already low levels of respect I've had for him.

I expected as much. The US does not give a shit about developing countries unless it can exploit them.

country run by old fart boomers, what do u expect ? they used to have everything handed to them with no effort in life. also boomers are the worst gen ever: they think the world revolves around them and dont believe in taking and giving back.

Another post about this where people didn't read the article, but jump to anti-American conclusions. This story is about American politicians arguing semantics. The article says that America does contribute to a fund that was agreed upon by many countries in a summit in Egypt. Whether that is fair is debatable, but America is paying in to it.

Every country is refusing to use the term "reparations" because it implies legal guilt, and no country wants to get "sued" by the world.

Again, this is a pointless argument about semantics, and what term to use.

Of all the countries burning fossil fuels, why does the US get singled out for reparations other than it's a popular punching bag and the "face" of western capitalism? It's not like the US is sitting on stacks of cash. Quite the opposite...
