US Negotiator Rejects Climate Reparation
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - The top U.S. envoy to climate talks in Copenhagen, Denmark, has rejected arguments that the United States owes reparations for contributing to global warming.
Diplomats and some protesters claim the United States owes hundreds of billions in aid to developing nations as reparations for years of greenhouse gas emissions, The New York Times said.
Stern, speaking at a news conference Wednesday, made it clear, that the United States would join other industrialized countries in cutting their own emissions.
Further, he promised U.S. support for the poorest and most vulnerable counties in dealing with expected problems stemming from a warming planet such as rising sea levels and drought.
