In the annual tournament for cash handouts, the UN now enables charity for space-faring nations with slaves. Somehow, the demands for climate reparations were led by the nation burning more coal than the rest of the world combined, and no one laughed, or wondered whether they should mention it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 a group of 77 \u00addeveloping countries, led by China, called for $US1.3 trillion a year in new, \u00adadditional, adequate and affordable finance to address mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013-Graham Lloyd, The Australian<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s almost as if the CCP invented the UN definition of \u201cdeveloping\u201d as an industrial weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most developing nations, two weeks ago\u00a0China launched a manned spacecraft<\/a>\u00a0with propellants made from natural gas, and coal because it could not afford to use solar panels and windmills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the moment, the world\u2019s poor have to settle for using unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) to get their citizens in orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s space exploration<\/a> plans include bringing back the first samples from Mars, and from the near-Earth asteroid Kamo\u2019oalewa<\/u><\/a>, and to look for ice in craters on the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the point when we call a nation \u201cdeveloped\u201d \u2014 when it wrecks its own electricity grid?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
