It could be the lamest COP meeting yet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every year thousands of bureaucrats meet in an exotic location for a UN conference to agree not to solve \u201cglobal warming\u201d. Next week will be the 29th failure. It is the Olympics of Big Government rorts. This is not just a few hundred climate scientists catching up for a weekend, there are forty or fifty thousand grifters meeting<\/a>, not just for a few days but for two money-sucking weeks. After they\u2019ve used the tax dollars to get there, they sit around and discuss how they will divvy up the loot, the other tax dollars, called \u201cclimate finance\u201d, as if the atmosphere wants a loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a devastating blow, this year the EU political Queen Ursula von der Leyen is going to miss the event,<\/a> which some call a \u201cfatal signal\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it happens, Joe Biden and Emmanual Macron are not going either. It just doesn\u2019t have the social cachet these days in the wake of the US election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This next little story is so emblematic of the corruptocrat blob. A senior member of Azerbaijan\u2019s COP29 team has been caught red handed using the \u201cclimate\u201d conference to line up investors in Azerbaijan\u2019s oil and gas fields. The sad truth is, that in terms of the world\u2019s poor, this was probably the most productive event at the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a secret recording a fake Hong Kong investor said he wanted to sponsor the conference but in return needed to discuss \u201cinvestment opportunities\u201d in local gas fields \u2014 ain\u2019t that just the way the whole climate cartel rolls? Everybody pretending to look after the planet, but really looking out for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COP29 chief exec filmed promoting fossil fuel deals<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A secret recording shows the chief executive of Azerbaijan\u2019s COP29 team, Elnur Soltanov, discussing \u201cinvestment opportunities\u201d in the state oil and gas company with a man posing as a potential investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a lot of gas fields that are to be developed,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC has been shown documents and secret video recordings made by the human rights organisation, Global Witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this is the second year in a row the BBC has revealed alleged wrongdoing<\/a> by the host government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where was the BBC for the other 27 conferences? \u2014 covering up the crime.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The horse-trading starts Monday. But In a shock, Papua New Guinea has pulled out,<\/a> calling the event a total waste of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe last three Cop meetings have gone around in circles, producing no tangible results for small island states. Cop29<\/a> will be no different, so Papua New Guinea will not participate at the political level,\u201d Tckatchenko said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good for you PNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
