RE:RE:PakistanOver population is the ultimate climate change driver. Pakistan has a population 6 times the size of Canada suffed into a country 1 tenth the size. Perhaps the good people of Pakistan should practice more birth control and they would have less people living in flood plains and contributing to climate change?
Canada gas and will always help poorer countries in need but I don't think any first world nation is going to take kindly to being extorted.
By the way aid might come with some caveats like stop harbouring terrorists and things like that.
Maybe if they spent more on birth control and housing instead of nuclear weapons there would be some money leftover in the kitty for a rainy day?
If Pakistan want to make a deal with VET to drill for some gas to make some money then Pakistan becomes germane. Until then ....nope.

There are huge parts of the Middle East and Africa that should not have human beings living there at all and it's only going to get a lot worse . We need less humans and more nature and maybe, just maybe the Earth and its climate will heal itself. If you live in a trailer park that gets hit or just missed by a cyclone every year, maybe it's time to move ? . Moving money around to fix sh** that the weather broke is no solution .

At the COP27 summit, the country's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called on Western nations to offer compensation to poorer, vulnerable countries like his, which bear the brunt of climate change. Pakistan's government says the figure for losses and rebuilding now stands at more than $30bn. But the human cost is far higher - more than 1,700 people died in the floods and two million homes were damaged or destroyed. Those people who survived are living in endless uncertainty and despair.
