The United Nations has been looking for issues deemed larger than the perennial conflicts of traditional geopolitics. It created the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992 to acquire the authority to run the global economy so as to “save the planet” and “equitably” share the benefits of “sustainable” (i.e., limited) development. It holds a massive conference (over 65,000 attendees) towards the end of each year staged as if governments were adhering to UN mandates. The 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) in the FCCC series concluded Saturday (Nov. 23) in Baku, Azerbaijan. It ran a day over the two-week schedule as compromise language was hammered out that would allow member states to do as they pleased.
As much as the UN bureaucrats hate to admit, the UN is still a member organization, with the world’s leading national governments making the real decisions as to the policies they will adopt to advance the best interests of their citizens. There are no UN mandates. This concept was formally eliminated at COP15 in Copenhagen in 2009. That meeting was the peak of the FCCC campaign with a massive buildup by activist groups around the world for the two years prior. President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to encourage him to commit to the UN climate agenda that President George W. Bush had rejected.
COP15 was supposed to adopt a “legally binding” treaty to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The plan had been to impose on the "rich" developed countries a requirement that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions be cut by 25-to-40 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels. Such a drastic measure would have locked the developed countries into a permanent recession. Meanwhile, the developing countries, led by the BASIC (Brazil, South Africa, India, and China) coalition, would not have

I feel badly for people, especially kids who are suffering around the world because their country is a disaster.
But I dont feel GUILTY.
Big difference.
I will donate what I want and when I want to what I think is the best organization to help long term in a country.
Being forced to donate through my taxes is a different story.
Despite daily news of imminent disaster, force fed to us, the world is waking up to this racket!
Enough of the “climate change” hoax!
Bkmk
It’s been terribly cold here in Pittsburgh.
I say “f*ck Global Warming.”
It’s just weather we’ve lived with it from day one ,LOL
Oh yes it does, this summer I was sweltering, now I’m freezing- I wish it would stop cha gong and remain temperate year round lol
What idiot gave the UN the right to get involved in the Weather , it can’t even do what it was created to do
The global warming nuts have been claiming the the world will end if we experience a 2 degree Celsius rise in average temperature. Well, we can easily test that right now. If you live outside the tropics (and presuming you’re in the northern hemisphere) you only need to drive 197 miles south of where you are now to experience a climate that is 2 deg C warmer. Try it, and take careful note of all of the devastation you see there. Or don’t, because odds are life in the “warming zone” 197 miles to the south will be exactly like it is where you live.
Sitting here in my robe and a blanket suffering the sweltering climate but I’m doing my duty not turning on the heat as that’ll run the bill up, uh, cause a climate crisis.
