From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Craig Rucker<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing new under the sun. Snow falls, flowers bloom, and then Fall comes with roughly 50,000 delegates, activists and lobbyists flying out to a UN Climate Summit in some exotic part of the world. This year it was to COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, where I and other members of the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) team joined them for a front-row seat to the spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We taxpayers and consumers pay for all their airfare, hotel and dining, of course. We also pay with higher energy costs that their net-zero actions impose on workers and families \u2013 and for \u201cclimate reparations\u201d they plan to dole out to destitute and not-so-destitute developing countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pay out despite the fact the science doesn\u2019t back their claims. Hurricanes<\/a> and tornados<\/a> have not increased in frequency or intensity; nor have floods and droughts<\/a>. We can prepare for, adapt to, and warn communities far better than ever before, so the number of people killed<\/a> by weather and other natural disasters has plummeted 90% since 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Climate Industrial Complex (CIC) that organizes these pow-wows is unmoved by such facts.  They have so much money and power at stake at events like COP 29 that their scientists, politicians, activists and lobbyists will never stop inducing panic and demanding more sacrifice from us to \u201cend the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I went to Baku as a representative of CFACT. Just as we\u2019ve done at almost every other climate conference over the past 30 years, we believe it is important to attend, provide insights and comment on what we observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we observed this year was eye-rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pressure groups attending COP29 were in full force and their agendas a bit, let\u2019s just say, out there. Among them were some seeking to turn the decades-long climate change \u201ccrisis\u201d into an unprecedented \u201cpublic health\u201d threat, allegedly far worse and longer-lasting than COVID, and thus requiring even more drastic and draconian government actions \u2013 and stratospheric spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They claim the food we eat is worsening the supposed climate cataclysm. They want the UN to oversee what crops and livestock farmers will be permitted to grow, how they can do it, and what people will be allowed<\/em> to eat. This new \u201cGreat Food Reset<\/a>\u201d movement, alive and well at COP 29, intends to restrict meat consumption; compel banks to stop providing loans for livestock production, nitrogen fertilizers, biotech crops and even diesel-powered tractors; and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, they at least propose a substitute: \u201cedible insects<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just food these activists are targeting. Many urge consumers to \u201ctransition\u201d away from fossil fuel vehicles, cooking, and home and water heating \u2026 to electric technologies \u2013 regardless of costs, inconveniences, dangers<\/a> or inadequate electricity. They seek to have our factories, businesses and hospitals do likewise, and pay 2-3 times more for electricity \u2013 even if that brings on massive price increases for goods and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for your home, that too was discussed at COP 29. Some attendees claim the climate crisis necessitates herding people into \u201cclimate resilient homes,\u201d<\/a> many of them tiny, to lower carbon footprints \u2013 and then controlling the thermostats. They also want to control your vacations and almost every other aspect of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it\u2019s ridiculous. But alas, it doesn\u2019t stop there. The climate cabal that gathered in Azerbaijan also sought money \u2026 lots of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as Western economies crater, COP29 attendees are angling for a New Collective Quantified Goal<\/a> of $1.1 trillion in 2025, rising to $1.8 trillion by 2030. Increasingly de-industrialized nations are expected to contribute this money to a Climate Finance Action Fund, to help poor developing nations \u201ctransition to a low-carbon future,\u201d get \u201cclimate mitigation and adaptation\u201d funds, and receive \u201creparations\u201d for \u201closses and damages\u201d that poor countries suffer due to climate changes allegedly caused by rich countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will replace the current, supposedly insufficient goal of $100 billion per year and help developing countries implement \u201clow-carbon, climate resilient solutions\u201d to energy, transportation, agriculture and other vital systems. It\u2019s intended to \u201cpersuade\u201d poor countries to \u201cleapfrog fossil fuels<\/a>\u201d and go directly to a magical \u201cclean energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proper term for this is \u201ccarbon colonialism\u201d or \u201ceco-imperialism.\u201d It would further enrich the Climate Industrial Complex, and politicians and bureaucrats in poor countries, while leaving the people energy-deprived, jobless and impoverished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, what we saw in Baku was appalling. Unfortunately, the Trump-Vance administration wasn\u2019t there to impact COP 29. But thankfully it will be next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once it does take power, let\u2019s all hope both it and the incoming Republican Congress will be able to \u201cnet-zero\u201d the USA out of any future COP meetings, before they can actually inflict any serious damage on us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
