So says the person watching 40,000 Warmists take fossil fueled trips to COP29
A climate breakthrough has rarely looked bleaker
It is politics, not logistics or physics, that is stopping us from tackling climate changeHas there ever been a grimmer backdrop to the world’s most concerted attempt to avert global warming?
COP29 — the annual conference for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change — is taking place this year in Baku, Azerbaijan, one of the birthplaces of the modern oil industry and, according to civil liberties group Freedom House, among the most oppressive societies on the planet.
Leaders from China and the US, which account for about 45 percent of the planet’s carbon footprint, will not be attending the conference, which runs until Friday next week. US President Joe Biden is, in any case, the lamest of lame ducks after the Republican sweep in last week’s US elections. Almost every other major economy in Asia and the Americas will also be absent, thanks to the APEC summit in Peru this week, while the leaders of Germany, France and the European Commission are also staying home.
Oh, and Argentina is not attending and

Clean power has won the technical and financial arguments that made it look a non-starter a couple of decades ago. However, the roadblock thrown up by wrongheaded politics is far from being lifted. If you are hoping that Baku would provide a solution to these problems, you are looking in the wrong place.
Let’s look at that sub-head: politics, not logistics or physics. Wrong. It’s willpower. Warmists refuse to practice what they preach. Can you imagine if the billion or so in the 1st World stopped using fossil fuels and made their own lives carbon neutral? In reality, nothing would change, but, per their cult dogma it would.

Our esteemed host kind of missed it:
It’s true that the activists mostly don’t practice what they preach, but it is also very much politics. Even dictatorships require, at bottom, at least some public support, and leaders in democratic countries require more. Outgoing Vice President and future private citizen Kamala Emhoff very much signed on to the activists’ agenda, but she and her minions deemphasized it during the campaign, because they understood that it was a vote loser. The American people would love to see everything zero emissions, if only that actually worked and didn’t cost them anything. It has been politics which has kept the officeholders from imposing that silly stuff on us.
Neither Mr Teach or Mr Dana know how others live.
Want the US to thrive economically?
Do away with all the silly Biden era “climate crisis” edicts that infest every walk of life with the swipe of a pen.
