COP28 is already setting records...
Red State(11/25/23) column: "When you see or hear 'United Nations Climate Conference,' what's the first thing that comes to mind? Climate change? Global warming? Joe Biden? John Kerry? Al Gore? The existential threat to mankind? Carbon footprints? Massive wealth redistribution? All of the above? You're far from alone if any or all of these thoughts instantaneously pop into your head. After all, God knows how hard the left pushes the stuff. Welp, here we go again. The upcoming UN Climate Conference is projected to have a larger so-called 'carbon footprint' than any of the 27 previous UN climate change confabs. Why how can that be, you ask? I'll take a stab at the answer: Leftism is all about being seen and heard at the places you're supposed to be seen and heard...COP28, as the next conference is known, will be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), at which more than 70,000 people are expected to attend — roughly 25,000 more than trotted out to COP27 in 2022...Anyway, Biden's climate grand poohbah, the ever-smug John Kerry, recently suggested that the U.S. will pay 'millions' into the 'loss and damages' fund. I know — try to control your amazement. Dan Kish, a senior fellow for the Institute for Energy Research, blistered Kerry — and Biden — over the ill-conceived fund, in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation: 'With John Kerry and Joe Biden promising billions in U.S. taxpayer money and beefing up the treasuries of non-governmental organizations with tens of billions of dollars in 2024 get-out-the-vote activist money, this year’s climate gong show was bound to attract record numbers of camp-followers, celebrities, kleptocrats, and other misfits. It’s as though they’re ringing the dinner bell which always attracts people looking for a free lunch.' Bingo. And is it any surprise? Hand out free money, and they'll come running as fast as they can. That's universal, whatever the reason or cause, however ill-conceived."
