“When former President Barack Obama says ‘We are nowhere near where we need to be’ in terms of climate change, he’s not talking about reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The stated goals of the U.N. Paris Agreement that Obama, and other world leaders, embrace are properly viewed as a proxy for a larger agenda aimed at dismantling American independence and freedom,” according to Real Clear Energy.

“The event is set be the most carbon-intensive UN climate conference yet. The 2019 COP25 in Madrid, by comparison, emitted an estimated 51,101 tons of carbon dioxide and the 2015 COP21 in Paris emitted an estimated 43,000 tons of carbon dioxide,” according to CNBC. It’s a clear example of “rules for thee, not for me.”

“The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has been plugging away since 1995, and the only declines in greenhouse gas emissions over that time have been during recessions, oil shocks and the collapse of the Soviet Union – nothing to do with the COP(out)s,” according to The New Daily.

“Now, The New York Times reports, the push for a greener electric grid is running into stiff headwinds. Hecate Energy, a renewable energy developer, had hoped to install a 500-acre solar farm in Copake, N.Y., a quiet town nestled between the Catskill and Berkshire Mountains. The setting was ideal because of its proximity to an electrical substation, critical to the power transmission. But after facing an outcry from some in the community who feared the installation would mar the bucolic setting, Hecate scaled back its plans,” according to Habitat magazine.

“The COP26 climate gabfest in chilly Glasgow is quite the spectacle. Its horde of private jets, apocalyptic rhetoric and detachment from reality reminds me irresistibly of Grand Moff Tarkin’s ‘Evacuate in our moment of triumph?’ The great and good are gathered to end the debate for the 26th time, and reverse the rising tide of endless hottest years ever, just as a long, cold winter with skyrocketing fuel prices zooms past their radar,” according to The National Post.

“Former Vice President Al Gore said a program relying on mass surveillance data is keeping track of greenhouse gas emissions. A climate coalition is staying on top of the information. ‘We’re going to have real-time monitoring on where the emissions are coming from and who is responsible for them,’ Gore told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell last week. ‘We get data consistently from 300 existing satellites, more than 11,000 ground-based, air-based, sea-based sensors, multiple internet data streams, and using artificial intelligence,’” according to Newsmax.

“It’s incongruous bordering on the bizarre to organize a summit like this while Europe is battening down for a winter fuel crisis, President Biden is begging OPEC to produce more oil, China is firing up its coal-fueled power plants amid an electricity shortage, and climate-change plans wilt as soon as they’re exposed to the sunlight of democratic politics,” according to The Wall Street Journal.
