Too bad none of the reporters asked “Hey, why will 40,000 be taking fossil fueled flights to Brazil for COP30? Why are you cutting down a swath of the Amazon to build a road for fossil fueled vehicles to get people to COP30?”
Wars and tariffs have deflected focus, not made climate change go away: COP30 chief
MILITARY CONFLICTS, trade and tariff wars, and geopolitical developments have shifted the focus away from climate change, but have not made the problem go away, André Corrêa do Lago, head of this year’s climate conference in Brazil, said Monday, while urging nations and businesses to step up their efforts to tackle climate change.
“I understand there is a lot happening in the world right now. But the problem of climate change is not going to recede just because we stop looking at it. As scientists have been telling us, it continues to get worse every day. We need to continue to work on climate change while everything else is going on,” do Lago, who is in New Delhi to meet Indian officials, said. Among others, he held a meeting with Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav.
In other words, y’all should be paying attention to the imaginary problem, not the things that effect your lives. I wonder if he could ask Israelis and Ukrainians if they think ‘climate change’ is more important than war. For most people, ‘climate change’ might be somewhat important in theory, but, when matched against real world issues it ends up at the bottom of the I Care List.
As the host of the conference, one of Brazil’s main objectives is to try and restore trust in this multilateral negotiating forum.
‘We are trying to speak to as many stakeholders as possible — governments, businesses, cities, scientists, policymakers, civil society groups, even general public — and are trying to ensure that the final outcome is able to reflect their concerns. We believe that COP30 has to provide a result that meets the expectations of all these stakeholders,” do Lago, who served as Brazil’s ambassador to India very recently, said.
I like how speaking to you stupid peasants is a sidebar. Almost forgotten.
“One of our primary goals is to expedite the implementation of the Paris Agreement. We are urging the countries to scale up their respective climate action plans, and are also very hopeful of the action agenda delivering meaningful outcomes and actions. I am aware that the action agendas at previous meetings have not materialised into anything big or significant, but some of these are making good progress. We are trying to consolidate these, begin monitoring their progress, and bring in transparency, so that everyone knows what is happening with these,” he said.
Ten years on and Paris is still barely implemented? I guess the climate Elites are having a tough time forcing the agenda down the throats of the peasants.
Warmists happy Dow is going up because tariffs declared illegal
Capitalists do not like tariffs
Bad news is USA agricultural prices continue to drop as other countries refusing to buy
Most liberals that I have seen all seem to be in agreement that corporate taxes should be raised. How would that be any different than raising tarrifs?
“Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society”, is attributed to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Our schools, roads, bridges, Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Space Force, police and fire protection, Social Security, border protection, medical research, scientific research, space exploration, courts… are financed by taxes – mostly income taxes and payroll taxes. Much of this burden falls on our working class. In 2024, the share of all taxes paid by the richest 1 percent of Americans (23.9 percent) will be slightly higher than the share of all income going to this group (20.1 percent). Nota bene: This analysis included asset appreciation (unrealized capital gains), which mostly flows to the wealthy, which economists consider to be income (but our tax code conveniently ignores!).
Anyway, corporate taxes and tariffs have similarities and important differences. Read on!

For the cultists, those problems are not imaginary, because the issues that concern most Americans, most people around the world, like keeping a roof over their heads and food on their tables this evening are of no concern to the hoitiest and the toitiest who have the wealth to not care about the Little People.
LOL! St Greta of Thunberg had her pro-Hamas fleet turned back due to stormy weather at sea. I’m sure that the evil Jooooos had caused that. But I guess that even Her Holiness St Greta now thinks the war in Gaza is more important.

Global whining was debunked and china just don’t care. China is building missiles, warships, and other military stuff. So, our domestic ecowhiners need to wake up, wise up, and shut up. Or, study chinese.
