World’s Worst Polluter China Demands Leadership at Climate Summit
The Chinese delegation to the COP27 climate change conference in Egypt demanded a leadership role on Tuesday, despite China being far and away the worst polluter in the world, and its most voracious consumer of carbon-spewing coal power.
France to require all large car parks to be covered by solar panels
All large car parks in France will be covered by solar panels under new legislation approved as part of president Emmanuel Macron’s renewable energy drive.
Legislation approved by the French Senate this week requires existing and new car parks with space for at least 80 vehicles to be covered by solar panels.
The owners of car parks with between 80 and 400 spaces have five years to comply with the measures, while operators of those with more than 400 will have just three years. At least half of the area of the larger sites must be covered by solar panels.
Richer nations, including Canada, inch closer to paying for climate damage
Four days into COP27, the latest global effort to save the planet, and there’s modest but discernible momentum toward having richer countries pay some of the bills for climate damage.
“I believe that we need to have an open and frank conversation about loss and damage, which countries like Canada and many developed nations have refused to do so far,” said Steven Guilbeault, Canada’s minister of Environment and Climate Change, in an interview at Canada’s pavilion at the summit venue in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Riots anyone?
China Polluted More in 8 Years than UK Since Industrial Revolution
Communist China has emitted more carbon dioxide over the past eight years than the United Kingdom has since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, a report from Oxford University’s Our World in Data project has found.
According to researchers at the University of Oxford, the United Kingdom has emitted 78 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide between 1750 and 2020, however, this pales in comparison to the recent output from Communist China, which has emitted some 80 billion tonnes since just 2013.
World War WEF: Ending war in Ukraine necessary to tackle climate crisis, Zelenskiy says
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has told world leaders they will not be able to tackle the climate crisis unless Russia’s invasion of his country ends.
“There can be no effective climate policy without the peace,” he said in a video address at the Cop27 UN climate summit in Egypt on Tuesday. “The Russian war has brought about an energy crisis that has forced dozens of countries to resume coal-fired power generation in order to lower energy prices for their people, to lower prices that are shockingly rising due to deliberate Russian actions.”
Victory will make us Green! This nonsense will cost Ukraine allies. Isn’t Trudeau on record saying the war is the best reason for implementing the green-scam?
Meanwhile in the UK – Sunak Says Ukraine War an Excuse to Push Green Agenda Even Harder
Despite the ongoing energy and cost of living crises facing Europe, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has argued the Ukraine War is an excuse to accelerate his green agenda, rather than backtrack and concentrate on keeping the lights on this winter.
Speaking to the global COP27 climate summit in Egypt, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak rejected suggestions that ongoing economic, security and social problems in Europe to do with the Ukraine War warrant a rethink of his hardline climate ideology, instead saying that the chaos justifies a further acceleration of green agenda efforts instead.
You have to remember that no one elected this clown.
This is officially a WEF war now.
Germany remains chummy with China. I wonder if this is because they know their NATO allies blew up the NordStream pipelines?
Something So Totally Fecked Justin Is Guaranteed To Endorse It
Treaty against fossil fuels floated at UN climate summit
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, EGYPT – The world should confront climate change the way it does nuclear weapons, by agreeing to a non-proliferation treaty that stops further production of fossil fuels, a small island nation leader urged Tuesday.
The proposal by Tuvalu came as vulnerable nations pushed for more action and money at international climate talks in Egypt, while big polluters remained divided over who should pay for the damage industrial greenhouse gas emissions have done to the planet.
Vatican Warns of ‘Severe Humanitarian Impacts’ from Climate Emergency
ROME — Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin addressed the U.N. COP27 climate summit Tuesday, urging net-zero emissions and warning climate change “will not wait for us.”
Speaking for Pope Francis, Cardinal Parolin told the dignitaries gathered in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Skeikh that the Holy See is fully committed to the goal of net-zero emissions and is “intensifying its efforts to improve its environmental management.”
U.N. Tells Rich Countries to Pay $2 Trillion a Year for Climate ‘Justice‘
An annual transfer of funds from rich to poor countries, starting at around $2 trillion by 2030 and rising thereafter, is needed for climate “justice” according to a U.N.-backed report released Tuesday.
Liberals want you impoverished – working on policies to ensure carbon tax remains in place for years to come
The idea that releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere should cost money — known as carbon pricing — sits at the center of the federal Liberals’ plan to limit climate change, and now they’re working on policies to ensure that it remains in place in Canada for years to come.
Last month, Jonathan Wilkinson, minister of natural resources, told a crowd in downtown Toronto, that the federal Liberals plan to introduce a policy to ensure carbon pricing not only remains in place through at least 2030, but also ramps up during that time, from $50 per tonne to $170 per tonne.
Wilkinson made his comments during a question-and-answer session after a speech to the Canadian Club, saying that industry won’t invest billions of dollars to reduce their carbon emissions until they have “certainty” that carbon pricing won’t be abolished under a future leader.

Climate Expert Bjorn Lomborg Debunks Lancet’s Climate Doom Report: ‘Deliberately Deceptive’
A climate expert exposed an extreme report for hyping the supposed dangers of climate change just two days before the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) began in Egypt.
“The climate crisis is killing us. #COP27 must deliver a down-payment on climate solutions that match the scale of the problem,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres tweeted Oct. 25, promoting a doom-peddling report on climate change from The Lancet.
‘Unprecedented’ global chip shortage pushing electric vehicle delays into years
When Jesse Chiasson called a car dealership last month to buy a new vehicle, he ended up paying $1,000 to be put on a waitlist instead.
“The salesman was pretty vague but hinted it could be 2024 by the time we get the car,” Chiasson said in an interview from Bathurst, N.B.
“Worst-case scenario, we could be waiting as long as three years.”
COP27: A meaningless ritual for China and India
Last week, Greta Thunberg called the COP27 climate meeting a “scam” that provides a platform for “greenwashing, lying, and cheating.” The teenage climate activist is probably right — for a change.
Many European countries that pledged at past meetings to move away from coal, oil, and natural gas have been unable to keep their promises. In the case of developing countries that depend heavily on hydrocarbons, the charade is even more apparent. For them, the meetings have become a ritual of going through the motions of green orthodoxy while intending to increase consumption of the fossil fuels necessary to sustain their economies.
Biden’s Corrupt Green Subsidies May Lead to EU Trade War
The corrupt bargain in the Inflation Increase Act, aside from stealing from working families to subsidize green special interests, now risks a trade war with the European Union.
Justin Trudeau won’t be at COP27 — and he’s not alone. Has the heyday for global climate conferences come and gone?
Climate guru Greta Thunberg isn’t going. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t either.
The 27th edition of the annual international climate summit (alias COP27), which starts this weekend, isn’t shaping up as a pivotal moment in the fight against climate change like its predecessors in Kyoto and Paris.
There won’t be any dramatic emission-reduction targets announced, nor any pacts to end fossil-fuel subsidies and coal exports. That’s leading many to question whether the COP conferences have outlived their use.
