Katowice, Poland (CNN)The American delegation came to promote coal.
And the kids laughed in their faces. That was the bizarre and symbolic scene that unfolded Monday at the UN COP24 climate talks at a spaceship-shaped conference center in Polish coal country.
The nations of the world are meeting here to hash out a "rulebook" to help ensure the viability of humanity -- preventing runaway global warming from causing even greater calamity in the form of superstorms, searing droughts and deadly heat waves.
That work, which follows up on the 2015 Paris Agreement, is seen as more critical now than ever. A damning report from the United Nations this fall said there's only about a decade left to avoid the worst of climate change. The message: cut fossil fuel pollution to "net zero" in just a few decades. Yet the United States held a discussion on Monday that was meant, among other things, to "showcase ways to use fossil fuels as cleanly and efficiently as possible."
Vic Barrett, a 19-year-old college student in Wisconsin, was among those who decided that was too much to take. She and dozens of other protestors erupted in mock laughter as Preston Wells Griffith, an official at the US Department of Energy, spoke about how fossil fuels "will continue to play a role" in the global energy picture. They temporarily stopped the US-led discussion, shouting, "shame on you!" and "keep it in the ground!" -- a reference to fossil fuels that they say should be left unearthed.

The only ‘last chance’ here is the ‘last chance’ for the self-appointed experts/elitists to pick the pockets of the beleagured middle class.
All the while Paris is burning.
Excellent. Great news.
Go, Trump, MAGA!
These people sure do have to fly around a lot to save us from SUVs and heating our homes.
Apparently more than 30,000 of them - it’s incredible
The Sun Spots ain't coming back soon.
Drill, Baby Drill!, or you will freeze, going forward.
Hope she's enjoying Poland. They don't take kindly to people who don't take kindly.
For at least 120 years, climate “scientists” have been claiming that the climate was going to kill us…but they have kept switching whether it was a coming ice age, or global warming.

She smart cookie.
Sorry but without reliable cheap electricity there is grinding poverty and political instability. Green energy can never economically power a modern wealth producing society. Either burn fossil fuels or embrace poverty and starvation. Too bad these green lunatics are not forced to endure personally the policies they promote.
GOOD!
Truth be truth.
Needs to be re-updated.
Fake news from the climate change cult alarmists.
Yeah I agree, but still compelling even as it sits. The list would probably double or triple in length if it were updated to be current. So much BS has passed in so called news outlets within the last 4 years.
The Thermosphere is the lowest ever seen. The lack of sunspots and collapse of the Thermosphere methinks signals the beginning of an ice age, maybe a big one (the Little Ice Age lasted from the 1390’s to the 1850’s). The fake climate scientists should be hanged if this happens. Global temps have decreased 0.56 degrees Celsius over the last 2 years.
