Trillion dollar fund is unfair cop for corrupt

-

The Cop27 summit in Egypt agreed a $1 trillion ‘loss and damage’ fund to compensate poor nations that are victims of extreme weather worsened by rich countries’ carbon pollution.

Some of the countries which will get a slice of the $1 trillion are the most cruel, corrupt and dangerous on Earth. Since the Industrial Revolution entire nations have been lifted out of poverty and global life expectancy has risen from 29 in 1800 to 71 today. Britain has nothing to be ashamed of but

UK taxpayers will suffer further horrific tax increases.
