They came for your car, your light bulb, your dishwasher and washing machine, your toilet, your electricity, your airline flight and so much more. Now you can add your burger and steak to their list of what they want to legislate, regulate and confiscate out of your existence. YOUR existence. Not theirs.
The global warming agenda is the gift that keeps on giving for everyone who wants to control what you do. Dangerous manmade climate change justifies all manner of meddling, in the name of saving the planet. And like the mafia UN cops want a piece of the action whenever money and power are on the line.
Anti-meat crusaders have been pushing hard in recent months to use climate change to achieve their goal of forcing you into an all plant-based diet. This year their rhetoric became a big part of the dialogue at UN 25th Conference of the Parties (COP-25) on climate change.
They’ve introduced a new buzzword you'll be hearing a lot of, “peak meat” – as in“peak oil,” or something that we’re going to run out of really soon ... not because we’re actually going to run out, but because government policies will make it off limits and drive it into oblivion. As CFACT’s team learned – as usual, it’s do as I say, not as I do.
But what do you suppose was the big seller for anyone looking for lunch at the UN climate conference? Burger King! Delicious all-meat American burgers, with not a single one of Burger King’s latest meatless Whoppers in sight.
CFACT met with climate delegates as they lined up for juicy burgers and shot a fun video investigation that you’ll enjoy almost as much as a juicy red steak. Our team of reporters included “Benny the Bull,” who was none too amused at UN hypocrites feasting on his friends at the COP. You can watch Benny in action here.
Harrison Ford, who is a pilot in real life as well as in Star Wars, keeps a fleet of private aircraft for his personal amusement. Ford bragged not long ago that he’s “so passionate about flying” that he would often hop in one of his planes and “fly up the coast for a cheeseburger.”
It's got to be fun to be an idle, rich movie star living off residuals, and thinking nothing of spending hefty sums of cash on aviation gas just to get a burger.
So when Ford showed up at the UN COP, CFACT’s Marc Morano asked him about his cheeseburger flights – and Ford countered that he’s “now a vegetarian.” That’s nice. But we’d still like to know how Ford got to Madrid for COP-25, where he and his UN friends lecture and hector us lesser mortals about how we should live “more sustainably.” We’ll wager our family cars and humble appliances that the Hollywood star continues to live a high-carbon, luxury lifestyle that would keep scores of Americans or entire African villages in lighting and refrigeration for years.
Oh well. It’s for us little people to tighten our belts. Our high-flying climate masters need their perks if they are to have the energy and fully functioning brain cells to decide how the rest of us should live.
CFACT’s investigation into UN burger hypocrisy made a splash in the media and was picked up by Fox News, The Washington Times and more.
So far, though, COP-25 delegates have been far more successful at scoring a burger than in advancing the Paris Climate Accord. In fact, left-wing protesters became so incensed when the climate talks stalled that over 200 of them, including the kids from Greta Thunberg’s “Fridays for Future” staged a protest where they banged on pots and chanted outside the main plenary session. UN security guards tossed them all out of the COP. (At least it wasn’t us CFACT folks getting tossed out this time).

The European bloc did announce plans for 28 nations to go “carbon neutral” by mid-century. But it had this “big news” lined up before COP-25 started. During the COP its delegates sheepishly had to admit that Poland refused to go along.
Polish coal is cheap, plentiful and reliable. And the last thing the Poles want is to be dependent on Russian energy. They’ve met the Russians before. They also aren’t too keen on adopting Germany’s anti-coal and gas policies. They’ve got experience with that country too. Smart Poles.
COP-25 followed the usual script and went into overtime, because there was so much dithering and bickering during regulation time.
Now the UN is likely about to announce “big victories” that are nothing of the sort. In fact, they are likely to be little more than plans for yet another big COP event next year, and hopes that it won’t have to be rescheduled to another city at the last minute, when the first venue suddenly erupts in violent protests against energy policies imposed in the name of preventing “catastrophic manmade climate change.”
It was mighty embarrassing for the UN when that happened in Chile a few weeks before COP-25.
What’s actually going on at this year’s UN climate talks is a wait-and-see game geared toward next November's American election. After watching Britain give the Tory party its biggest victory since Margaret Thatcher during the talks, and observing moves now afoot to pull Britain out of the EU once and for all, government by global bureaucracy is under threat.
The UN is plenty scared. That’s a nice thought going into this festive holiday season.
I hope we soon reach “peak bullshit”.
TIME to put those ravenous Meat Eaters against a Wall.
Hypocrisy: It’s what’s for dinner.
Coral them all on UN Property in NYC. Confine them there for a month and then feed them what they are telling us to eat, exclusively.
Maybe they all then will just go home and leave us alone. Damn Jihadist and Socialist ba$tards
now we know why all these major restaurant chains are introducing meatless meat.
Why would a vegetarian want a burger that tastes like Meat because it’s not for them it’s to fool the Meat Eaters
only the elite will eat meat. the masses will eat bugs. This is the plan.
They know they’re in a DEATH RACE against the Low-Carb / Keto people who have finally figured out that humans were meant to eat meat and NOT carbs - and now that fact is slipping out out from the Atkins fringe to the mainstream (with much of that happening in just the past 6 months).
And it has to be one or the other...there is no middle ground. Either we get to eat meat, or we get sick from not eating it.
This is both fun to watch, but very scary to think of the consequences of their side winning.
Yeah but all the left’s hatred is directed at Trump. Filthy hypocrites can freeze in the dark eating grasshoppers.
Vegetarianism causes a chemical imbalance in the brain. That’s why most vegetarians, and especially vegans, have sunken eyes, diarrhea, and bad breath. Not to mention having a terrible attitude about everything.
US out of the UN.
UN out of the US.
Ouch !
Vegetarian side effects...
A strictly devout vegetarian for years who is the husband of my former coworker was told after several sets of medical tests that his doctor insisted he switch to meat eating. He reluctantly did so. Some kind of missing elements in his diet were causing serious problems in his body. A form of malnutrition.
As usual, the ruling class wants to tell everyone else how to live, while they do the opposite.
Real sacrifices are for you little people - certainly not for us politicians and Hollywood types.
While Westerners will pay the price for these edicts, I believe the true targets are the billions of Asians working as the West’s sweatshop for decades now. Their growing middle classes want private homes, autos, and meat - and THAT is what the elites can’t face.
They’ll lower our standard of living because Asians working 80 hours per week are demanding the same.
They’re already up-in-arms, since the meatless (garbage) “burgers” are cooked on grills where the meat burgers are prepared, in all that meat grease and flavor. I don’t eat leaves, stems or roots. I got to Five Guys; screw Burger Barf!
“UN Bureaucrats Chow Down On Burgers – While Attacking Meat”
Obi Wan AOC has taught them well.
