The climate summit was expensive, energy-burning theater. One hundred eighteen private jets flew into the airport, President Joe Biden's motorcade had 24 vehicles, including SUVs and vans, and Greta Thunberg was angry. Demonstrators denounced Israel, which recycles and reuses 90 percent of its wastewater while ignoring the Palestinian pastime of burning tires containing multiple carcinogens.
Sustainability, less, new technologies, clean technologies, and more less (yes, more less) were the watchwords. Use less, do with less. The President should have touted America's successes in reducing emissions: From 2005 to 2018, total U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions fell 12% while global energy-related emissions increased nearly 24%. Since 2005, national greenhouse gas emissions fell by 10%, and power sector emissions by 27% — as the US economy grew by 25%. He should have compared that to China's announcement of 30 new, polluting coal-fired power plants and China being the world's biggest polluter. Xi Jinping, naturally enough, was a no-show.
The president should have stood up for his people. Our people.
Vladimir Putin of energy exporting Russia and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MbS) of energy exporting Saudi Arabia were also no shows, but for different reasons.
It is November and Europe is getting cold. Low energy supplies, mortgaged to Russian control of the Nord Stream II gas pipeline (given the go-ahead by Biden), and shortages of wind power are jacking up energy prices and making leaders there nervous.
It is November in the United States as well. Gasoline prices have been rising steadily and they are about to be joined by heating oil and gas heat. President Biden should be rethinking permits for the Keystone Pipeline and his decisions on fracking. Instead, the president asked - demanded – that OPEC pump more oil. Yes, dirty, polluting oil.

They won’t be freezing so...................
CO2 is an instrument of control of people.
It has nothing to do with controlling the climate.
When the next ice age comes, we could not produce enough CO2 to stop it.
Too busy starving or rationing food to think about freezing.
Didn’t obozo keep the White House a sweltering 85F in the winter.
Gang Green wants you dead. But they’ll settle for you freezing and starving in the dark.
On the bright side, no food and freezing temperatures really bumps the metabolism. We’ll all lose weight. Throw in and having to walk everywhere also, and our women will suddenly get hot again. Like in Russia, poor nutrition, cold and walking everywhere does something wonderful for the female body.
I’m a “glass is half full” guy.
CO2 is self regulating. CO2 is plant food. More CO2 means more plants, which consume the CO2 and get it back down.
Same for global warming. More global warning, means more water evaporates creating more clouds. This increases planet’s albedo, reflecting more sunlight back into space, and temperatures go back down.
It’s almost like it was designed that way.
Biden had an 85 car motorcade in the Vatican area.
That is more gas/fuel than I AND my neighbor use in an entire year.
Exactly. It’s like quail and dove. Lots of rain and growth, birds everywhere. Rain backs off for a year or two populations drop.
It’s silly to pretend that god didn’t make a world that self adjusts better than any socialists can centrally plan.
Joey-cizing the way to fitness.
Jimmy Carter taught me to expect Democrats to &^%$ up everything—that is one reason my house has wood stoves.
Evil wreckers. Vicious psychopaths. Environmentalism is just an excuse to dramatize and act out their hatred of humanity.
Deep State only wants the middle class flash frozen.
The compliant poor get LIHEAP.
While people of their leftist ilk, luxuriate in total warmth and comfort.
“I’m a ‘’glass half full guy’’.
I’m a “I thought this was supposed to be chocolate milk’’ kind of guy.
Messes with people heads, I tell ya.
