KATOWICE, POLAND — The Trump administration held an event at the United Nations “COP 24” climate summit to promote the continued use of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, and particularly American innovation and energy exports. Obviously, the panel discussion by U.S. officials and the subject itself sparked outrage among man-made global-warming theorists at the UN seeking to restrict access humanity's access to cheap and reliable electricity, many of whom held a loud protest inside the venue during the event. But the message from the U.S. government came through loud and clear: So-called fossil fuels are here to stay, and will remain an important source of energy for the world long into the future.
Among other points, the side-event hosted by the Trump administration celebrated America's ongoing expansion of energy production — especially liquefied national gas. U.S. Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg, one of the U.S. officials on the panel, noted that “fossil fuels” would continue to be a crucial source of energy for the indefinite future, and that America was becoming a leader in the field of using these forms of energy in a “clean” and “efficient” way. In particular, he promoted U.S. exports of liquefied national gas (lng). U.S. officials also promoted nuclear energy, which many climate alarmists hate as well.
The promotion of these fuels at the UN “climate” event sparked outrage for days in advance among those whose livelihoods depend on the anti-CO2 narrative. And once the event began, protesters and “climate” activists did everything possible to disrupt it.

Just curious What do you interpret “LNG” to be?
What’s your guess, Clete? Don’t leave us hanging.
the group SustainUS was behind the protest at the US presentation.
10 Dec: Pacific Standard Mag: In Katowice, Protesters Disrupt a U.S. Event Promoting Fossil Fuels
Protesters chose that moment to interrupt the event’s opening remarks with uproarious laughter. “These false solutions are a joke, but the impacts to our frontline communities are not,” Aneesa Khan, the COP24 SustainUS delegation co-leader, yelled. “We hold the solutions and we know that we must keep it in the ground.”...

Attack, attack , attack.......... give’em hell, constantly.
When I used the term "clean coal," she was dumbfounded.
She turned red-faced and began to sputter about CO2 being a pollutant, so I said "and what is it that plants, trees, and vegetables eat?"
She hasn't spoken to me since...and that was over a year ago.
“Atmospheric CO2 is a fertilizer - promotes the Greening of Planet Erf.”
I think the left pigeon holed themselves on this one and have no way to back out of the CO2 argument. If CO2 is really the issue, the solution is to simply plant more forests. Use existing technology to turn deserts green, using desalinated water.
The true problem in my opinion is industrial pollution of air and water sources. However, that will require cultural changes in countries which in turn increases the prospect of liberty, reducing government abuse of the people.
As an example, if the Ganges was cleaned up today, tomorrow people will still crap in it, dump garbage in it, drink from it and bathe in it. Th culture would have to change as would the infrastructure to burn or bury the garbage and sewage. Add this process to 100 countries that do the same thing and you now have the potential of new economic growth from previously affected areas.
Cletus spent over 30 years in the natural gas industry, both interstate pipeline and midstream. I don’t HAVE a “guess”.
I asked RegulatorCountry what his interpretation of LNG is.
You have to understand where the enviro Left is coming from. With the loss of totalitarian governments absolute control over impoverished masses was eliminated. Freedom, self-determination and capitalism created wealth and prosperity to an extent that no one needed the elites to tell them what to do or their permission to do it.
The Left’s and globalists’ ‘for the planet’ meme is to reduce free people back to poverty so tyranny of the elites can be re-imposed on them. They’re that crass. They’re that evil. Power and control over the weak and helpless. That’s all they care about. Ever.
Cletus spent? Who are you? Where is he? Did you harm poor witto Cletus?
This is of NATIONAL importance!!
Cletus’ alter ego always posts like that.
It’s certainly not “national” gas.
Thank you...
