COP28: 5 big takeaways on a historic climate agreement
The Hill ^ | 12/13/2023 | BY SAUL ELBEIN AND RACHEL FRAZIN

The roller coaster of this year’s United Nations Climate Conference (COP28) has ended with a historic new agreement: For the first time, world governments have said countries should transition away from fossil fuels.

The deal comes after days of tense negotiations, especially over the fossil fuel language, which caused the Dubai conference to stretch into overtime.

Climate advocates have praised it as a step forward, but also raised concerns about potential loopholes in its language and criticized it for not going further as the climate crisis deepens — and fossil fuel production continues to increase.

The good news is that all of these nazis will die off eventually. Can’t happen soon enough though.

Wait a second, I did not agree to any of this, I bet most of the world's population don't want it either.

Piss on the UN and agreements. Get the US OUT of the UN and the UN the hell out of the US.

Sky UK (Comcast) Press Review today had only one major front-page splash on COP28 - and it was The Guardian.

the fact it wasn’t front-page news tells you what a failure it was.

how about calling a stop to these annual talkfests.

of 8 billion people on earth, what tiny number would want to phase out coal, oil and gas, methane, etc etc etc?

total scam.

Seven year peace agreement.

King James Bible
The Day of the Lord

(Zephaniah 1:7-18; 2 Peter 3:10-13)

1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

There is no “deal” here, just a piece of paper making a statement of intention. Don’t mean nuffin’. Nobody is serious about “transitioning away from fossil fuels”, not even John Kerry with his yachts and planes or Al Gore with his mansions. The COP as usual was full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

The Green New Deal will move implacably onward toward world domination but it will have nothing to do with the CO2 in the atmosphere. We’ve had 28 COPs now, and the rate of CO2 increase has not been measurably affected by all the huffing and puffing and trillions of dollars wasted.
