Economic success must have a price and a global tax on carbon emissions can help redress Africa’s chronically low Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rates, Kenya’s President William Ruto declared Tuesday as the first Africa Climate Summit began.
He pointed to “climate change” driven by successful, dynamic economies in Europe, North America and Asia, as a drain on Africa’s economic progress and it’s time to have a global conversation about a carbon tax on the world’s richest nations.
“Those who produce the garbage refuse to pay their bills,” Ruto said, according to AP, echoing others who have also called for carbon tax impositions.

The African continent of more than 1.3 billion people is losing five percent to 15 percent of its GDP growth every year to the widespread impacts of climate change, according to Ruto.
The summit’s opening speeches included clear calls to reform the global financial structures that have left African nations claiming they pay five times more to borrow money than others, worsening the debt crisis for many.
Africa has more than 30 of the world’s most indebted countries, Kenya’s cabinet secretary for the environment, Soipan Tuya, said.
The U.S. government’s special climate envoy, John Kerry, agreed and acknowledged the “acute, unfair debt” carried by Africa nations must be addressed.
He also said 17 of the world’s 20 countries most impacted by climate change are in Africa — while the world’s 20 richest nations, including his own, produce 80 percent of the world’s carbon emissions that are driving climate change.

Some 18,500 participants have flown from around the world to Kenya and registered to be accredited for the summit.
About 30,000 delegates in total are also expected to attend the summit.
More BS from fools who believe that they can change a natural occurring happening. They listen to so called studies by people who fabricate changes in the earth’s climate just so they can get more grant money. Then you have hypocrite Kerry who causes one of the biggest offenses in so called carbon pollution by flying in a private jet all across the globe spouting horse crap about climate change caused by humans is destroying the planet with hotter temperatures, more devastating hurricanes and tornados when in fact the earth’s temp has cooled and hurricanes and tornados are no worse than they were a thousand years ago. Records have only been kept for 70 years.
The sad reality remains, fools like these fabricate a new story as time marches on.
They are making money pretending they are the tip of the spear saving the world. Although none of their predictions, past or present, have come true. They continue to suck monies from the gullible. Like the leaches they imitate they attach themselves to easy pray.
Science, real science, has proven these people are shysters, having not one pure thought in those fat heads.
