Bummer: World Still Clinging To Fossil Fuels, Despite Pledges

Um, who was making the pledges?

‘Waiting in vain’: year on from pledge, world clings to fossil fuels

One year after world leaders issued the landmark call for a global move away from fossil fuels, nations are failing to turn that promise into action, say climate diplomats, campaigners and policy experts.

Countries are being urged not to lose sight of that historic agreement ahead of November’s COP29 climate negotiations, where fossil fuels are not top priority.

Despite last year’s climate deal calling for the first time on countries to “transition away from fossil fuels”, major economies are still planning oil and gas expansions in the decades ahead. (snip)

Global emissions — caused mainly by fossil fuels — are at record highs, pushing concentrations of planet-warming greenhouse gases to unprecedented levels, two UN agencies reported.

Since inking the watershed COP28 pact in Dubai “leaders have been grappling with how to turn those commitments into reality”, said Katrine Petersen from E3G, a policy think tank.

Yeah, well, all those “world leaders” who inked the pact sure use a hell of a lot of fossil fuels themselves. They used a hell of a lot just to travel to Dubai and then return home. And continue to use a heck of a lot more than the average citizen, even among 1st World nations.

“When we talk about climate pledges we are talking about more than just arbitrary, empty words,” said Andreas Sieber from activist group 350.org.

Let’s start with all the “leaders” signing these pledges and all the climate cult groups and members pushing for them. Let’s see them give up their own use, rather than always telling others they must give up their own use, usually at the barrel of government force.

    Reality trumps good intentions…or bad ones….every time. And reality is modern civilization
    CANNOT function without oil. All the huffing and puffing of the greenie moron left doesn’t change that.

    The fix is in. Yesterday, several polls dropped showing Harris leading in almost every state, including nationally. Trump has a 10-point lead in Iowa, and the “GOLD STANDARD” poll dropped for Iowa, showing a 3-point Harris lead.

    Now I know all these polls are pure, unadulterated lies.

    That is not the point. Cheating is so pervasive in a dozen states that the Right cannot ever again expect a fair election period. As a result of this sudden swing to Harris it is clear that the dems fully expect to cheat to a win in 2024.

    In Georgia, they told the GOP that voting hours would be extended and that the GOP was not allowed to OBSERVE ballot drop-offs. Of course, the RNC filed a lawsuit and won, but that simply means they will find another way to cheat—as in having a few thousand votes under the table to run ALL NIGHT LONG repeatedly.

    As I have said there is no way you let HITLER win the election if the people so choose. The people are stupid to the left. They should lose most of their rights, be put in high rises, and be given a menial job. IN other words, we should be put on the plantation so that women can have unfettered abortions and boys and girls can be sexually mutilated.

    The election Mafia is in full swing now and Kamala will garner 86 million votes cause she is just such an awesome person that the whole world is groveling on the ground and can’t wait for the babbling embicille to take over so that we can have Peace….er I mean MORE WARS and DEATH around the world.

    This country stinks and making it great again is impossible when we are all standing in lines to eat and get toilet paper.

    Doomy failed to mention that it is the Jooos that control all the media
    The globalists control the Italian satellites that can control all the Dominion voting machines
    They Also targeted Trump’s brain which is why he suddenly began pantomiming giving a blow job on stage in the middle of a rally

    SOROS. Is do cruel !

    • CarolAnn says:

      He failed to mention those things because they are obvious lies that only morons would believe. Do you believe them, H? Do you believe men can have babies too?

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      What was that weird blow-job maneuver by Donnie all about? It was in Wisconsin, and he was irate about the microphone stand and threatened to go backstage and beat the shit out of someone (he knows his disciples soooo well!). Add with his weird double fisted jack-off move you have a weird, weird man.

      At the same rally he claimed to have won WI twice!! He said Milwaukee NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo (born in Athens Greece) didn’t look very Greek to him (cause he’s black, get it, haha!!). He knows his followers sooo well!

      Donnie, on the other hand described himself thusly:

      I got the whitest skin ’cause I never have time to go out in the sun. But I have that beautiful white, and you know what? It could’ve been beautiful, tanned, beautiful.

      He is not tryig to hide anything – there’s no time for that – and he knows his troopers soooo well!

      He faked fellatig a mic stand people and he’s running for president. Couple all this with his obvious rapid mental and physical decline, his slurring of words, his failure to grasp simple facts and concepts and it’s clear he is unfit for the job.

      Anyone who still supports him is an “enemy from within”. If he wins, which of his evil shitheads will be running America? Musk? Bannon? Miller? Vance? Look no further than Project 2025.

    The average Americans carbon footprint has decreased about 1% per year since it peaked in 2004. 19% of all cars sold in USA last year were either fully or partially electrified.
    Change over to electricity will continue. Each year EVs get cheaper and better. Each year ICE vehicles cost more

    • Jl says:

      Carbon boy-why do we need electric cars?

    • L.G.Brandon!, L.G.Brandon! says:

      Hey H, do you own an electric car? If not, why not?

      If you do not own one then you basically know very little about them other than what you read written by people SELLING EV’s. So you are buying into a bullshit sales pitch and trying to sell us too. That makes you a dishonest shill for the EV companies and unreliable and unknowledgeable.

      So you’re just giving us opinions which mean little. Go buy your own fukin’ EV then tell us.

      • Professor Hale says:

        His kids took his keys away years ago. You wouldn’t want him owning an EV or any other sort of car.

    • James Lewis says:

      If the pattern holds, the United States should start to see rapid growth in the next few years. And automakers have gone all-in on the transition. As of early 2023, U.S.-based car companies have announced about $173 billion in spending to shift to electric vehicles.

      And that’s why Ford just shut down manufacture of the F150 EV.

    A stroll down memory lane will remind those of us driving klunkers 50 years or so ago, blotting out the sun as we tooled down the highways and byways. Hats off to the automotive industry if those running the show tell those marxists in Washington to Drive With Care and Buy Sinclair. Or maybe Up Your Ass With Mobil Gas and Happy Motoring.
