Green Grifters: COP29 Exposes The Staggering Hypocrisy Of Climate Activism

The latest global climate conference opened Monday in Azerbaijan. The timing is excellent. Any doubt regarding the wisdom of the next Trump administrationâ€s likely pullout from such meetings should be dispelled by the conference photos alone. [emphasis, links added]

Here are tens of thousands of well-fed well-dressed members of the global elite—activists, employees of lavishly funded NGOs, armies of government bureaucrats, hundreds of heads of state—who have all traveled via jet and private plane to this remote corner of the Earth and who expect that every minute of their day will be supported by abundant, magically available energy.

None has sacrificed a single personal comfort to save the planet. They assume that their smartphones will draw on an invisible web of transmitters and that they [can] search the Internet and run AI queries at will, notwithstanding that doing so requires voracious energy use from a growing archipelago of server farms.

They expect their PowerPoints to be well-lit and their conference and hotel rooms to be heated or air-conditioned as needed.

Theyâ€re never without their bottled water, which is carried thousands of miles by carbon-emitting trucks and planes and kept sterile by plastic containers whose manufacture requires petrochemicals and plenty of energy.

They do not wait for the sun to shine or the wind to blow to light their rooms, run their elevators, or power up their devices; they want energy now and without interruption.

You donâ€t have to be a “climate denier†to see that climate change politics have become the largest global grift in history, one that grows in proportion with each new conference.

It was just a matter of time before Third World basket-case countries exploited the First Worldâ€s virtue signaling.

This yearâ€s UNFCC COP 29 conference in Azerbaijan (COP stands for Conference of the Parties) features the demand that developed countries fork over billions, if not trillions, more dollars to the Global South, ostensibly to help it adjust to climate change.

Those billions will follow all previous foreign aid into the same sinkhole of corruption and incompetence.

The grift also includes the green energy enterprises that survive only thanks to government subsidies and mandates that no one meets.

When it comes to electric vehicle use, those mandates would take down the power grid if they were met.

President Joe Bidenâ€s hilariously named Inflation Reduction Act transfers close to $400 billion of appropriated taxpayer wages into subsidies for wind and solar development.

The alleged purity of those alternative energy sources is based on keeping their environmental costs off stage.

Climate change conferenciers lead self-important globe-trotting lives. Not a month goes by without an international convocation somewhere. …snip…

The New York Times lamented Trumpâ€s contempt for climate change accords long before he won the election. Saving the planet was another reason to vote for Kamala Harris, the paper urged in its news pages.

On Monday, the Times added to its long list of untruths regarding anything Trump-related.

“World leaders gathering in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, on Monday for a global climate summit face a bleak reality: The United States, the country responsible for pumping the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, is expected to soon drop out of the fight against climate change,†the paper wrote on its front page.

The U.S. is not the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases—China is, and India is coming up fast behind.

It is the self-punishing futility of restricting American manufacturing and development while Americaâ€s competitors do whatever it takes to seize the economic advantage that drove Trump to pull out of the Paris climate accord the first time around.

The Times worries that China could assume “leadership of international efforts to address climate change†if the U.S. withdraws again. If China does assume such leadership, it will not be at the cost of its manufacturing base and standard of living.

If these climate gatherings focused on reviving nuclear energy—the solution to a warming planet—one could take them seriously.

But nuclear remains an afterthought at best in the romantic pursuit of “renewable†sources of power, whose harnessing requires mineral extraction, energy-consumptive manufacturing, and unsightly and sometimes lethal disruptions of natural ecosystems.
