I fully expect the UN to comply and include a brutal, vicious, repressive Islamist regime
The Taliban’s top environment official wants the UN to include Afghanistan in climate talks
The Taliban’s top environment official on Monday called for Afghanistan’s inclusion in U.N. climate talks, saying extreme weather and water scarcity are having a “profound impact” on people’s lives and the economy.
A Taliban delegation attended last year’s COP29 climate talks in Azerbaijan, but as observers.
Matiul Haq Khalis, the head of the National Environmental Protection Agency, said the suspension of environmental protection projects after the Taliban takeover in 2021 had resulted in widespread harm to Afghans. Khalis said he wanted inclusion at COP30, which is being held in Brazil later this year.
Russia is the only country to recognize the Taliban’s government.
“Afghanistan is severely affected by climate change,” Khalis told a conference in Kabul. “ Drought, water shortages, declining arable land, flash floods, and threats to food security are having a profound impact on people’s lives and the economy.
“Although Afghanistan’s contribution to global climate change is almost nonexistent, it suffers greatly from its consequences.. As a victim of climate change, Afghanistan has the right to be present at global platforms, especially at COP30, to voice the damages it has endured.”
What the Taliban wants, really, is free climate scam money and goods. Money and goods with zero strings attached, because they are “owed” the money and goods because 1st World countries live a 1st World life. They are saying the exact same things that small island nations and other 3rd world countries say. The 1st World, and even the UN, used to give them money with strings. Climate cash has no strings.
In Baku last November, Khalis told The Associated Press that authorities had prepared national action plans to deal with climate change and would be updating their climate goals.
He said the country had great potential for wind and solar power, but needed international support to develop it.
In other words, “give us money. We’re owed it. We’re not going to stop treating our women as 2nd class citizens, as chattel, nor stop working with Islamic terrorists, but, you still owe us money.”
One of the first things the Taliban did after taking control was to ban opium production.
Our allies there were the heroin dealers.
The Saudis treat heir women much harder than do the Afghanis, however, the Saudis control the international oil market and so are forgiven by the oil cult.
After the commies won the opium war in 1975, the USA began immediately supporting the Afghan “freedom fighters” when the “commies/socialists began their efforts to turn Afghanistan into the new heroin supplies.
1976/77 were the years I lived there
YouTube has many videos showing life in Afghanistan taken by westerners including Americans including women walking alone in public unaccompanied by men. When I was there I saw women in miniskirts and French fashioned sunglasses walking in Kabul. We gave billions to the most conservative radical islamists to overthrow the government that allowed that. In return we received from them 9/11 and heroin

Of course, but without evidence. Here’s what the plutocrats fear: That the world will recognize that for a century the United States and Europe, and more recently China, have dumped CO2 into the atmosphere causing the Earth to warm. This affects the people of every nation, but poor nations have fewer resources than China, the United States and Europe with which to ADAPT.
Chief of the plutocrats, Big Don, to the rescue! Ironically, it was Big Don who negotiated the Taliban in power in Afghanistan!
Every nation is being forced to adapt. How will poor nations, who didn’t contribute to global warming, afford the adaptations needed to survive?
Tough toenails poor nations, the rich nations have spoken! You should have been rich and powerful!!
Of course. The Obama administration gave them bags of money to attend classes on how they were owed environmental reparations money. They remember those classes and want what they were promised. Just like every country in Africa was promised free money for signing up in Kyoto treaty. It is amazing what people will sign up for when you pay them to do it. Sort of like how Democrats will sign up to vote democrat.
“Allegedly causing the earth to warm”. Fixed it
