Re: How much developed nations owe developing countries for global warming?

The Maldives were so paniced by thought of sinking in to the briney sea that they expanded their airport. Seems like a reasonable response to an impending catastrophe.

Yes it does need to remain. Share by all means by integrating into the country you want to stay in, but don't try and make it into the place you have just come from.

.... I don't see anything wrong with a country saying that if you've been there for 5-10-15 yrs that if you 're not a citizen you have no right to stay. So - just to find the "line" here, lets take an example: you'd be ok with a foreign national who's lived in this country for over 50 yea...

I kinda have to be ok with that scenario. Without open borders I wouldn't be where I am - the happiest I've ever been. I get from the tone of your posts about France that you are settled there. Genuine question, why not become a citizen of the country? I don't see anything wrong with a country sayi...

If I used that, I might. But I don't. And the claim sounds dubious at best.

Anyway, if you saw it on X, then it should be fairly easy for you to find it again.
I'm not your lacky, find it yourself if it's that important to you.

They'd better bring the election forward, according to Kamala, 220 million people died of Rona in the US in the last few months. There won't be anyone left at that rate.

Apart from a bit of pedalling, I'll be reading the manual to the car I've just bought to see what all the buttons do. Why is new/newer stuff so complicated?
