WATCH: Leaders from emerging economies and poorer countries criticized wealthy governments and oil companies for driving global warming, using speeches at Egypt's COP27 climate summit to demand they pay for damages being inflicted on their economies

Fears grow for jailed hunger striker in Egypt

"The oil and gas industry continues to earn almost 3 billion United States dollars daily in profits," said Gaston Browne, Antigua's prime minister, speaking at the conference on behalf of the Alliance of Small Island States. Wealthy western countries tend to be the most vocal advocates of slashing emissions but are also the ones that have contributed the most greenhouse gases after more than a century of fossil fuel-driven industrialization.

But some countries at the conference were more likely to direct their frustration at rich governments, not drillers.

AhabyonaDerrick These guys do not walk their talk. When they say climate change, the mean Africa's energy, period!!

Give us your money. potus okay here you go you want millions or billions?

'Let's get real.' 😆 🤣 😂 You arrived in 400 private jets and nevermind the commercial airline travel. Just stop there, and think about the unending hypocrisy and entitlement. You'll be solving a climate crisis when I regrow full head of hair.

These “poor people “ from these countries profit off the backs of their impoverished citizens. They personally benefit from government handouts instead of commercial development.

And arrived in 400 private planes...

The writer left the content of the main article and entered another story, drawing a fictional movie that they still believe. Did you not hear about the June 30 revolution that toppled your group from power? Sisi is the legitimate president of the country

The west trying as usual to keep Africans in abject poverty

The menu from cop27, hypocrits.

First 20-30 most rich nations ARE RESPONSIBLE for 99% of anything toxic, ALL wars and pollution. The rest of the world should pay their sisn now? Nope. Rich nations and corporations must pay for oxygen, clean water and everything they take for granted.

Just a scam for corrupt 3rd world parasites failing their own people to line their own pockets

Maybe start arresting your own govt officials who got rich from allowing this to happen!

On which side is India?

Does that mean the world needs to give back all the benefits that resulted from hydrocarbons? This is absolute lunacy and the fact that the media supports this garbage is terrifying.

Global wealth redistribution. Obama’s dream.

As they all flew on private jets to get there

Good
