In about 15 years time they’ll be doing COP reunion summits.
Still on the taxpayer tab no doubt…
A good insight into jist another extorsion racket. This one, is very international, with lots of people from different countries. But basically the same playbook: there is this threat/danger/problem and you need to hand me over some money to make it go away.
“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.”
Charles MacKay (1814-1889), Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
I’m not sure that is really true. From what I observe, people seem to drift from one mad delusion to the next.
Certain people (looking for meaning in their lives) will probably bounce from one fantasy belief to another. However with Covid there have been quite a number who now (quietly) say lockdowns, distancing, masks and even ‘the vaccines’ were wrong. The evidence of harm is now overwhelming, so they can safely acknowledge this.
Unfortunately the memo hasn’t yet reached the Hallett Asylum.
Indeed…
“We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first”
Charles MacKay
Ed’s justification for our Net Zero policies is that although it will not make much difference to global CO2, we will show the world how to do it and they will follow. But what we’re doing is showing the world how stupid it is, and everybody ignoring Ed even at a climate summit of his like minded thinkers.
Actually the game was to convince leaders of developing countries to take bribes in the form of support for renewables in exchange for keeping their countries impoverished and subjugated to western dominance.
The whole thing to be paid by the idiot population of western countries conned by the human climate change story.
More the idiot political and media class in western countries.
Even more accurate: The idiot followers of every fad that’s currently fashionable with the US democrats in so-called western countries who control the political and propaganda machineries enabling them to dominate said countries.
It is neo-colonialism isn’t it?
That’s his usual response in the House of Commons when questioned about the impact of UK net zero efforts on global CO2 emissions. Apparently being ahead of the pack of lemmings (or if the BBC have anything to do with it, walruses) rushing over a cliff edge is in some way inspiring to the rest of the world, and the UK proletariat should be grateful, nay proud of such leadership, while shivering in their fossil fuel free homes and eating fart free worms.
Some opine that in the event Herr Starmführer is defenestrated, his likely successor by popular support of the Labour horde of looni-lefties would be… Mad Miliband.
This proves the maxim: nothing’s so bad it can’t get worse.
The clown show was even better this year.

“the UK and the EU, wanted the agreement to include a legally binding roadmap”. How can anything agreed by an elective jamboree in a rain forest be legally binding? Anybody remember representative democracy? Universal suffrage? Electoral mandates?
The Eco Socialism masquerading as saving the planet has to die, because reality is a very hard enemy to defeat.—– “WHAT’S MY NAME”
“Miliband and the EU were doubly disappointed that their attempts to get China and the Arabs – still unbelievably classed as ‘developing’ nations – to pay their fair share fell on deaf ears.”
They’re still classed as developing nations so our politicians can carry on sending ‘aid’ which translates as laundering stolen tax payer’s money through the pockets of their NGO mates. Or in the case of Ed Miliband, his brother.
To be fair, China needs to burn shit-loads of coal in order to manufacture windmills in their hundreds that idiots like UK and the EU buy. It’s commerce innit?
The biggest failure, surely, was the numpties forgot to invite Gaia to the meeting. She showed her disapproval by arranging for an inert Ethiopian volcano Hayli Gubbi to blow its stack for the first time in 12,000 years just as the conference was ending. This wonderful protest is probably pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere than millions of Milibrains could prevent for centuries, just proving man has little control over the make up of the atmosphere and the climate.
Thanks for mentioning that. I hadn’t heard about it but volcanoes are climate influencers not man. Will look into it and don’t forget Huanga Tonga and 13% more water vapour in the stratosphere in 2022 quietly making its way back down to earth.
“… a firm commitment to phase out fossil fuels…”
This would require the use of force on populations not willing to co-operate. That might not work.
The Labour Party has made us a “Nobody ” on the world stage. Nobody cares what we think anymore.
So sad the Uk is infiltrated by WEF puppets. What happened to britain, anyone know? How was Britain so easily infiltrated? Was it anything to do with cash incentives? No, I am certain Uk politicians are above such a thing.
Have not read a newspaper, watched tv, nor listened to news on the radio in five years. Did msm mention how badly the UK and EU made out at cop 30? Just asking. Do the taxpayers know how more of their money has just been wasted?
