The latest global climate conference opens in Azerbaijan on Monday. The timing is very good. Any doubts about the wisdom of the next Trump administration potentially withdrawing from such meetings should be dispelled by photos from the meetings alone. [emphasis, links added]
Here are tens of thousands of well-fed and well-clothed members of the global elite——Activists, employees of well-funded NGOs, armies of government bureaucracies, hundreds of heads of state——They all arrive in jets and private planes to this remote corner of the earth and expect to be fueled by the abundant, magical energy available every minute of every day.
No one sacrifices any personal comfort to save the planet. They think their smartphones will tap into a network of invisible transmitters, and they [can] Search the web and perform AI queries at will, Still, doing so requires using a lot of energy from a growing server farm.
They want their PowerPoints to be well-lit and their conference rooms and hotel rooms to be heated or air-conditioned as needed.
They are forever away from unopened bottled water, which is transported thousands of miles by carbon-emitting trucks and planes and kept sterile in plastic containers that require petrochemicals and massive amounts of energy to manufacture.
They don’t wait for the sun to shine or the wind to blow to light their rooms, run their elevators, or turn on their appliances; They need uninterrupted energy now.
You don’t have to be a “climate denier” to see this The politics of climate change has become the biggest global fraud in history, growing bigger with every new conference.
It’s only a matter of time before third world countries take advantage of the first world’s virtue signaling.
This year’s UNFCC COP 29 meeting in Azerbaijan (COP stands for the Conference of the Parties) made the following demands: Developed countries allocate billions, if not trillions, of dollars to countries in the Global Southostensibly to help it adapt to climate change.
These billions of dollars will be mired in the same abyss of corruption and incompetence as all foreign aid before it.
Scams also include Green energy companies can only survive by relying on government subsidies and mandatory requirements that no one can meet.
When it comes to the use of electric vehicles, If these tasks can bring down the grid yes Met.
President Biden’s hilariously named Inflation Reduction Act will be closer Allocate $400 billion in taxpayer paychecks to subsidize wind and solar development.
The purported purity of these alternative energy sources is based on hiding their environmental costs.
Attendees at climate change conferences live a life of self-righteous globe-trotting. There is an international conference held somewhere every month. …shear…
this new york times Trump’s disdain for the climate change agreement was expressed long before he won the election. Saving the planet is another reason to vote for Kamala Harris, the newspaper urged in its news pages.
on Monday, this era Adding to a long list of lies about anything to do with Trump.
“World leaders gathered on Monday in Azerbaijan's capital Baku for a global climate summit and faced a stark reality: The United States, the country that emits the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, is expected to soon withdraw from the fight against climate change,” the newspaper said in the front page read.
The United States is not the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, China is, and India is not far behind.
Restricting U.S. manufacturing and development while America's competitors seek economic advantage by hook or by crook is a futile form of self-punishment that prompted Trump to withdraw from the Paris climate accord for the first time.
this era It is feared that if the United States withdraws again, China may assume “the leadership position in international efforts to address climate change.” If China does assume such a leadership role, It will not do so at the expense of its manufacturing base and living standards.
If these climate conferences focused on reviving nuclear energy—the solution to global warming—people could take them seriously.
But in the romantic pursuit of “renewable” energy, nuclear energy is at best an afterthoughtIts utilization requires mineral extraction, energy-intensive manufacturing, and unsightly and sometimes fatal destruction of natural ecosystems.
