Meanwhile, African nations are particularly aggrieved. Despite being among the hardest hit by climate change (caused mainly by the highly developed Global North), the continent receives just 3% of global climate finance. The inequity is glaring. Mozambique, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo for instance, have endured multiple cyclones and exceptional weather catastrophes in recent years, displacing thousands and wreaking economic havoc. Yet, funds to help these nations adapt and recover are scarce, leaving them trapped in a vicious circle of destruction and poverty.

If I was writing a novel about evil rich people I’d make a chapter on the injection of 2/3 of the population of most countries with toxic substances and then bribing of the leaders of the remaining countries into equal killing of their population. And the use of geoengineering to blackmail those who refuse to take the bribe.
I suppose I’ve got a wild imagination.
