The US says it will not "under any circumstances" pay reparations to developing countries hit by climate change-fuelled disasters.

Climate envoy John Kerry made the remarks at a Congress hearing before flying to China to discuss the issue.

The Biden administration really appointed not only a climate denier but also a colonialism denier as the climate envoy lmao. What next, John Kerry proclaims slavery never happened?
