I wonder if they will blame all the earthquakes on ‘climate change’?
UN meeting on climate change kicks off in Chile
Experts from all over the world convened in Santiago, Chile, Monday for the opening day of a United Nations (UN) week of adaptation to climate change to address impacts and challenges, it was reported.
Global warming is already causing losses and damage, the Chilean government said. “The intensification of droughts, forest fires, and extreme weather events, the loss of our biodiversity, the degradation of our lands and our forests, are just some of the challenges we face today as a country,” Chilean Environment Minister Maisa (short for María Heloísa) Rojas said in her speech at the opening ceremony.
Rojas also pointed out that several developing countries have been affected by the climate crisis, especially those with fewer resources and less capacity to adapt to these onslaughts.
They claim that around 400 people are attending. How many took very long fossil fueled flights to get to Santiago? How many on private jets? How many will be demanding the 1st world give lots and lots of money with no strings attached?
The United Nations has that huge complex in Turtle Bay, which is always available, and there are plenty, plenty! of commercial flights into New York City. Santiago, being well into the southern hemisphere, winds up being a much further flight from most countries.
The UN staffers are all located in New York; those staffers to assist the Patricians could have been working locally, but now they’ll have to be flown 5,125 miles to Chile as well.
We’ve had videoconferencing technology since the late 1990s, but the bigwigs never seem to be willing to use that; they’d rather burn jet fuel to exotic locations, all to tell the rest of us that we need to use less jet fuel.
Encourage them all to go to Chile, then change the locks while they are out. It has worked on other squatters.
