David Miliband had been the foreign secretary and environment secretary for the UK government. He’s still pushing the scam, but, only on Other People, as he flies, surely private, across the Atlantic on a fossil fueled plane which is certainly climate controlled inside
The world is burning – more air conditioning is not the answer to the climate crisis
The ministerial week of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is meant to be the moment when the world comes together. Yet today fracture and fragmentation is dominant. Bad faith drives out good ideas. Hard power makes a mockery of international law. Even those with shared goals too often operate in silos.
This dynamic is especially dangerous when the world is more connected than ever before. And it is more egregious when the world has more resources than ever before. We are witnessing a catastrophic collapse of global leadership at the exact moment humanity has all the risks of hyper-connectivity and all the potential of untold capital.
My topic today addresses this dynamic. The twin and overlapping perils of war and climate change are breaking records. Yet political will, financial investment, and media attention have vanished.
In other words, the climate scam money is drying up, and papa needs a new mansion
This year there has been more coverage, MUCH more coverage, of the need for air conditioning in Europe than of the drought in Afghanistan, or desertification in the Sahel, or food insecurity in Somalia. For the next 25 minutes, I will turn the tables. More air conditioning is not the answer for the people who I want to place centre stage today.
For these hundreds of millions of people, the question is not whether a house is comfortable, but whether a family has safe shelter. Not whether the train runs on time, but whether the harvest comes at all. Not whether water use is restricted, but whether there is any safe water to drink. And not simply whether temperatures rise, but how rising temperatures interact with conflict, poverty, and political fragility in ways that destroy the mechanisms people once relied upon to survive.
In other words, he’s saying you peasants do not need air conditioning and should not be allowed to have air condition by government force, all while staying at a hotel/house with AC and going to the UN building which has AC. I notice he’s not demanding that the AC be turned off at the UN building for the meeting.
Anyhow, it is a very, very long piece, ending with
In two months’ time, global leaders will come together at COP31 in Türkiye. COP31 offers another opportunity to identify ways of making climate finance easier to access and deliver in fragile countries. It is vital to move from words at global convenings to action year-round. We have declarations and statements from Dubai and Baku to build on with practical steps to simplify bureaucratic processes, invest in local capacity, recalibrate risk calculations, and incentivise innovation – with a focus on outcomes for people.
We have no time to lose.
Most importantly, the poorest people in the world need us all to make up for lost time now.
Interesting. Will 50K take fossil fueled trips to Turkey? I do love how the Elites like to speak for the poor, and tell them how they are allowed to live their lives.

The United Nations-backed Independent International Scientific Panel on AI on Monday urged world leaders and tech companies to implement new safeguards on artificial intelligence, with the concern that existing safeguards are “unraveling.”
For too long, we’ve treated economic forces as enemies of the environment. I get it; climate change is a consequence of economic activity. But economic growth also alleviates poverty, improves health and longevity, and inspires innovation. There’s no reason why we can’t harness economic incentives as a driver for climate action, too.
A federal judge Monday ordered federal law enforcement officers to stop enforcing three immigration policies challenged by a Baldwin County man who
