But, see, they’re Saving The World
The United Nations’ latest annual climate change conference, COP27, is set to kick off Monday at the luxurious resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, where thousands of leaders will engage in wide-ranging policy discussions.
The conference comes one year after COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, where leaders from around the world, including nations with the highest emissions, signed a non-binding climate agreement resembling previous pacts. Shortly following the agreement, though, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres downplayed the agreement and paved the way for COP27.
“It’s an important step, but it’s not enough,” he said at the time. “It’s time to go into emergency mode.”
Ahead of this year’s summit, which is scheduled to begin Monday and conclude on Nov. 18, high-ranking officials in the U.S. and other Western nations have reiterated the importance of solving global warming, which they characterized as the biggest threat facing humanity.
“Among all of the centrifugal forces of these last 20 years, all vying to pull the world apart in many ways, the climate crisis still looms largest as the issue that will change life unalterably. Now, that may sound grandiose, but it is no exaggeration,” Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, who will lead the American delegation at the event, said in October.
Yet, very few Warmists actually practice what they preach. There will be 10,000+ who take fossil fueled trips to Egypt. There will be at least a hundred private jets with world leaders, celebs, and global rich, and the complaint media will do all they can to not show this climahypocricy.
Climate activists block private jets at Amsterdam airport
Hundreds of climate protesters blocked private jets from leaving Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on Saturday in a demonstration on the eve of the COP27 U.N. climate meeting in Egypt.
Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion protesters sat around private jets to prevent them leaving and others rode bicycles around the planes.
Dewi Zloch of Greenpeace Netherlands said the activists want “fewer flights, more trains and a ban on unnecessary short-haul flights and private jets.”
Good on them. Did they take fossil fueled vehicles to the protest? Perhaps they should take a train to Egypt and protest the private jets coming in.
Well, you can’t expect the Patricians to rub elbows with the plebeians, can you?
ok
No doubt they paid their “carbon offsets” before departing so everything is ok……
Yeah, they take it from their right pocket and put it in their left along with billions of our tax dollars. Thieves and liars.
And poor horse face kerry has to fly commercial.
Thank Trump for giving your elites for their 2 trillion dollar permanent tax cut,while making sure that middle class tax cuts ended after 2 years.
In general the Dems opposed tax cuts for your elites,and yes that would include the horse faced Kerry
Carbon offsets for ANY form of transport add only 2% to the ticket price.
And it’s Carbon Offset boy to the rescue-screwing up his “facts”again! First, it was a 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut, and that amount applies to everybody, not just Carbon’s elites. Second, all those individual cuts expire in 2025. And Carbon, notice I said all expire, not just the lower brackets. Don’t believe me? Look it up- which obviously you’ve never done, as you keep making the same mistake over and over again.
And have come up with a scientific reason to buy your “offsets”, seeing as they don’t really offset anything? Inquiring minds want to know…
The average American’s carbon footprint has declined by about 25% since2005.
How painful has this been for you?
Are you grateful every day for the merciful Sultan of Saudi Arabia for setting such an agreeable price on the fossil fuel energy market?
Yes it has, mostly due to fossil fuel fracking. And your point would be….what?
Carbon-you always proclaim that Saudi Arabia sets the price of oil. How could that be, seeing as the US is the top oil producing country? https://investingnews.com/daily/resource-investing/energy-investing/oil-and-gas-investing/top-oil-producing-countries/
jl,
Although the US is currently the largest individual producer of crude oil, OPEC+, led by Russia and the Saudis determines how much is produced. Remember, crude oil is global commodity. The US uses about 19 million bbl/day.
The US produces about 12 million bbl/day. The total produced globally is nearly 80 million bbl/day, of which nearly 50% is from OPEC+ nations. The US is operating at near full capacity. We could reduce production theoretically causing a price increase, but OPEC+ could counter by increasing production.
