There’s always an Excuse for high end climate cult members. Changed lives, mostly by government fiat, is only for Other People
The senior climate reporter for Axios insisted on Sunday that world leaders must fly in rather than meet virtually in order to “move the needle” at the latest climate change summit.
The United Nations’ COP28 kicked off on Thursday with several prominent figures such as John Kerry, the president’s special climate envoy, flying to attend in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
While world leaders and climate advocates have frequently been called out for their hypocrisy in using carbon-emitting planes, often private, to attend these gatherings, climate reporter Andrew Freedman defended it as necessary.
“To all those complaining about world leaders flying to attend a mtg on climate change, you’re not saying anything original. Fact is, ya can’t do a zoom call with 190 countries, and face to face talks move the needle the most,” Freedman wrote on X.
Sure they could. But, then they couldn’t rub elbows with fellow leaders and all the unelected bureaucrats wouldn’t have a taxpayer funded working vacation as they attempt to control Other People’s lives.
“Moving the needle” means unelected bureaucrats working with international elites to concoct absurd new regulations and ways to raise costs on everything in our lives for virtually no impact on climate change. https://t.co/zBAGOLSzN5

I’ve pretty much been saying that since 2004. I love that more and more are recognizing that this is not about science. Heck, even if Mankind was mostly/solely at fault for a minor increase in global temperatures, why are almost all the solutions about government control and reducing liberty, freedom, and life choices while taking more and more money from citizens?
