What if you threw a big green party and nobody came?
The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties or COP29 is happening in glorious Azerbaijan but the usual folks flying huge jets to warn us about the danger of using fossil fuels are mostly staying home.
Except for the Taliban who showed up to demand money. (Not a joke.)
Biden has trouble walking across sand. Xi has better things to do with his time. About the only G7 leader to show up is UK PM Keir Starmer (unless you want to pretend that Italy’s Meloni is a world leader) who waddled around like a ridiculous dark and mumbled something about the importance of being green so all the old white British pensioners freeze to death over the winter.
‘I have repeatedly emphasised the importance of global leadership when it comes to the climate challenge, and therefore it is very important for me to come to Cop,” PM Starmer whined. He said there was ‘a global race’ to be the leader on renewable energy, adding: ‘I want us to win the race.’
That’s like wanting to win the world curling championship. Nobody else is even showing for this one.
Of Mr Trump’s remarks on climate change, Sir Keir said: ‘I’m not going to comment on his views, I am very clear in mine which is that the climate challenge is something that we have got to rise to and that’s why I’ve repeatedly said we’ve got to show leadership.’
And you know how to show leadership… by constantly talking about showing leadership.
But the Starmer regime, which panders to Islamists, is in good company at COP29, with the Taliban.
Never has Starmer better resembled Boris Johnson’s description of him as a “a bullock having a thermometer unexpectedly shoved in its rectum”.
Gordon says
Curling is pleasant and interesting to watch, unlike watching a bunch of self-righteous, hypocritical ass hats dream up more ways to take my money to solve problems that don’t exist. Unless they figure out a way to harness fog and drizzle GB is out of the running to find the least efficient and dumbest ways to get energy. I would say maybe they could find a way to use dry wit, but that is long gone from the Misty Isles. In two generations they will be showing up to these conferences more like the Taliban, an impoverished Islamic country looking for first world handouts.

A con designed to extract more money from the taxpayers.

“Biden has trouble walking across sand.”
I laughed so hard when I saw that I almost wept bitter tears. Every faltering footstep had me guffawing so hard I almost shit myself. It was a perfect example of the illegitimate D-Bag presidential administration and the evil incompetence of Alzheimer Joe’s handlers. Not even that prostitute, fake Dr Jill, gave him a hand. She knows he’s outlived his usefulness.

Jill’s non-help was the visual icing on the cake.

Only three down votes? I guess I’m not doing my job if only three troll scumbags hate me.

1) If they wanted more attendance, they should have held it in the Bahamas.
2) It has long been a counterproductive message to emit tons of CO2 to attend a conference with the goal of reducing the amount of CO2 emitted. A Video Teleconference sends a better message.

Too many people pointed out that these climate conferences were always being held at exotic resorts and premiere destinations. I posted some easily found info on the menu for the people that want us to quit eating meat and eat bugs, one year. Beef, lamb, duck, pheasant, lobster, salmon, and other fine meats on the menu, but no bugs.
Jeff Bargholz says
Why am I not surprised?
Cheryl Barker says
Boris may be something of an A-hole himself, but his quote about Starmer was memorable!
