UN Conference Proves Climate Agenda Is All About Money And Woke Cultism

   To call Climate Change a mascarade is an understatement. From Global Cooling in the 1980s to Global Warming in the 1990s, then finally Climate Change in the 2010s, the concept has morphed to adapt to the vagaries of the climate but the objectives have not: Increase taxes, redistribution and restrictions. 

  Scientifically speaking, Climate Change has no solid grounding. The climate does change with or without humans. It is as close to the definition of an oxymoron as can be. 

  From a statistical standpoint, Climate Change is a crime disguised by "right-think". The series backing the data starts in the mid 1880s, so covers about 140 years of very mild rise of temperatures globally. Episodes of about 30 years of very slow rise of about 0.5C punctuated by 10/15 years of flat-lining then back to rising. Nobody knows why, although it is most certainly related to complex cycles we do not understand yet. Worse, we do know that the current rise if probably part of a century-long cycle which last peaked in the Middle Age optimum and saw its minimum during what I call the Bruegel Minimum in the early 17th Century when the rivers Seine in Paris and Thames in London were frozen solid in winter. In fact, most climate scientists know this except the ones who cannot say so because their salaries depend on them not stating this fact!     

  But now suppose all this is wrong and not only Climate Change is real but a vital and immediate menace for mankind. What should we do? reduce CO2 production? Well sure but considering that most of the current warming according to this theory is due to the CO2 emitted during the 20th Century, the effect of all this investment will be close to nil in the short term. What we would need to do is help developing countries reduce the impact of... what exactly? 

  Floods? Yes although most flooding is due to too many people living concentrated in floodplains. Drought then? Although most drought are cyclical (Remember the terrible drying of the Sahel in the 1970s? It's mostly green now!) and caused by over irrigation and pumping of ground water. Typhoons and Hurricanes? Here, the numbers have actually declined in the most recent decades. Fires? Sure although there are less fires now than there used to be in the early 1900s. Rising seas then? But the seas are NOT rising. What we hear about is mostly sinking islands which pump too much ground water thanks to their overpopulation. 

  And that is the real issue: We are confronted with local, not global problems which are mostly induced by local mismanagement of resources and an explosion of population which remains a major challenge. As such, global solutions will solve absolutely nothing. Not even mitigate the issues as long as these are not confronted head on. 

  But this is not the message the Globalists want to hear so your chance of voicing such ideas at the COP-30 is very, very close to zero!    

UN Conference Proves Climate Agenda Is All About Money And Woke Cultism

In the past five years the institutional discussions surrounding climate change have shifted noticeably from "net zero" goals (zero net carbon emissions from target countries) to a more mercenary debate over carbon taxation.  The question on everyone's mind is this:  Who gets the most access to those delicious climate funds?

Who gets access to the cash is less important than who gets to manage the cash, but we'll get to that issue in a moment.

The recent COP30 event held last week in Brazil was largely focused on wealth redistribution with a lesser emphasis on carbon reductions.  Climate "financing" is the name of the game, and COP30 was largely a squabble over which countries will get the most access to the various carbon taxes and donations collected by global intermediaries.  In fact, the conference was largely considered a failure.  From The Guardian:

"The sticking point was fossil fuels. As science has told us for well over a century, the carbon dioxide that burning them produces is heating up the planet, now to dangerous levels.  But in more than 30 years of annual climate meetings, the need for that to halt has been mentioned only once..."

"...Meanwhile, developing countries desperately wanted to move forward on securing the money that would help them cope with the already disastrous impacts of extreme weather.  By the early hours of Saturday, some delegates were ready to walk out and force a collapse. “It was on the edge for us,” said Ed Miliband, the UK energy minister. “I was prepared to walk away.”"

The meaninglessness of the climate apparatus becomes evident at these kinds of events; flush with thousands of bureaucrats who serve no purpose, clamoring for money that is essentially stolen in the name of a crisis that doesn't exist. 

At COP30, developing countries secured a tripling to $120bn of annual finance to help them adapt to the impacts of extreme weather, but that sum will not be delivered in full until 2035.

Developing nations have already garnered billions in climate financing.  India, for example, receives around $30 billion annually in climate funding which is meant to help third-world countries reduce their reliance on oil and coal while developing "green tech."  The dramatic inefficiency of green energy aside, it's unlikely that much of this financing is actually going into improving carbon emissions in India or anywhere else. 

The biggest beneficiaries are NGOs and Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) working closely with the World Bank.  These organizations collect the carbon funds and then redistribute that money according to their own guidelines.  Carbon taxes also represent a fresh revenues source for various governments in the first-world, with some of this money being transferred to intermediaries in the name of "Climate Reparations."   

The woke vernacular of the climate agenda is no coincidence.  Calls for reparation, equity and "climate justice" reveal the globalist/socialist roots of the global warming scam.  Environmental groups were quick to promote wealth redistribution in the name of imaginary climate crimes and "colonialism".  COP30 partially adopted this language by supporting the Belém Package - An agreement to integrate "equity" into climate financing decisions. 

  

"There can be no true climate justice without reparatory justice," say climate activist groups in a letter sent to COP30. 

"The climate crisis did not arise recently — it is a continuation of centuries of greenhouse emissions, extraction, dispossession, and racial violence," the letter said, urging COP30 to address historical injustices and the need for reparations as part of any negotiation on climate.

The melding of woke activism and climate hysteria is part of a larger progressive cultism that, until recently, has been infecting global politics like a plague.  There are obviously millions of true believers when it comes to global warming doom, just as there were millions of people that embraced the pandemic hysteria of covid.  However, the main thrust of climate governance is still mostly about cold hard cash.  

There is, of course, no science that supports the claim of a causation relationship between man-made carbon emissions and global warming.  As we have noted many times in the past, climate scientists rely on a tiny 140 year window of temperature data to defend their claims.  If we look at a much larger window of hundreds of millions of years, the temperatures today are actually some of the coldest ever recorded.  

Furthermore, when comparing atmospheric carbon content data over the same timeline, it is undeniable that carbon emissions have no relation to planetary temps.  They simply do not match up.

Climate scientists dishonestly ignore this data in preference of a 140 year model; a meaningless timeline which offers no insight into why the Earth warms or cools and when it might do so in the future.  They insist on the assumption that carbon "pollution" created by human industry is the cause of current warming and then adjust their models to support this assumption.  It's not science, it's the opposite, but there's a lot of money to be made by perpetuating the lie.
