Of course they do, considering how much the Warmists Blamed ‘climate change’ for the landslide and floods. It is amusing that I found this at Al Jazeera, considering Al Gore made like $20 million selling his climate TV station to AJ, which is owned and backed by the petro-state of Qatar

Why Nepal is demanding climate justice and compensation after deadly floods

Nepal is demanding “climate justice” and $20m in compensation after the recent devastating floods in the country and China’s Tibet region, which led to the deaths and disappearances of thousands of people.

The catastrophe, which scientists say was caused by the effects of climate change, was triggered when part of a mountain glacier collapsed and a torrent of water and mud flooded down into Nepal’s Rasuwa and Nuwakot regions, as well as into China’s Tibet region on August 26. More than 1,300 people have been confirmed dead and more than 5,000 remain missing.

“We are paying the ultimate price for a global crisis we did not create,” Nepal’s Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal said last week.

“Support for Nepal should not be seen from an angle of aid or charity, but should be seen from the perspective of climate justice,” he told the AFP news agency.

Once again, the Demand for climate cash is always made under the banner of “you owe us, the money should have no strings attached”.

Nepal’s Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Environment have written a joint letter to the United Nations, which set up a fund to respond to loss and damage caused by climate change in 2022 in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate, with a request for $20m in damages.

The UN’s Loss and Damage Fund is, however, facing a $2.8bn funding gap as it prepares to approve its first climate recovery projects.

Weird. Why are the Warmists nations not paying their fair share? Where are all those billionaires who say we should Do Something?

Nepal contributes less than 0.1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and generates most of its electricity from renewable sources of energy. Yet its geographical location in the Himalayas makes it particularly vulnerable to severe climate and weather events.

And, yet, the do not shut down all their airports and heliports, which are crucial for Nepal’s financial wellbeing via tourism, and lots and lots of jobs and money.
