This week 400 private jets flew to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt for the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) carrying the elite members of humanity that are working on a plan to save the planet. Many posts to social media pointed out that travel by private jet is far more polluting than travel by commercial airlines. Climate Action Against Disinformation, a group that analyses trends in false information on social media, debunked complaints that such luxurious modes of travel demonstrate hypocrisy, saying that "the value of time for these best and brightest of our species far outweighs the extra pollution."
U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, recently honored in a Veterans' Day tribute by President Biden as "literally, one of the most decorated men to fight," called "the successful battle against covid a model for the kind of collective approach we need to fight climate change. A key building block of our strategy is a commitment to spend $2 trillion to $4.5 trillion per year to fund the technological and behavioral initiatives required."
"While some portions of the population will voluntarily comply with what we ask of them, others will not," Kerry observed. "Only a minority of Americans have been motivated to buy electric vehicles despite substantial government subsidies. Even robust advertising hasn't made fake meat a popular option. We need to resort to more direct methods like the Chinese point system that punishes individuals who refuse to obey."
While China may serve as a model for the effectiveness of coercion for getting its people to obey its dictates, it is currently the world's largest polluter. In addition, President Xi is not attending COP27. Kerry called this "unfortunate," but suggested that "if we were to modify our free market system into a more centrally directed economy President Xi might feel less threatened and agree to join our collective effort."

That is what our woke (stupid) populations want.
Actually the headline is true. The communists create a nonexistent problem, present a bogus (and expensive) solution, then, magically, the nonexistent problem goes away. Then all that leaves is enthusiastic praise for Big Brother, who has saved us again! (Here is the obligatory /s notation lest someone gets totally incensed and takes me to the woodshed.)
Zero Carbon emissions equals zero human exhalation.
Let that sink in.

You should have included a barf alert.
That's what libtard snobs always say when caught being HYPOCRITES
By the time we have communism, we won’t care about climate change. So kind of.
I’m more interested in a cure for communism.
As important as a cure for cancer and neuropathy of the feet. Plenty of snake-oil salesmen claim they have the answer.
Take communism to it's logical conclusion and about 98% of the world's population will have been murdered with the other 2% living in caves. You won't have to worry about mankind causing much climate change then, they'll be too busy trying to dig worms out of the ground for food to drive gas powered cars.
