The UN is heading to Glasgow, Scotland, for “COP 26,” which is being billed as the most important climate conference since Paris. …
COP 26 has been on hold for a year due to fears of COVID-19.
It seems the UN has learned the wrong lesson from the pandemic. Instead of realizing our economy is fragile and supply chains must be safeguarded, the UN has unfortunately learned that fear works in achieving tyrannical ends.
CFACT’s Marc Morano has reported extensively at CFACT’s Climate Depot, that Team Warming has developed a severe case of lockdown envy, and views the economic dislocations wrought in the name of combating the pandemic as a blueprint for future lockdowns in the name of climate.
President Biden and “climate envoy” John Kerry are both headed to Glasgow anxious to “restore American leadership” on global warming.
Having these two feckless seniors land in Scotland means the time has well and truly come for those seeking to use the UN climate process as an opportunity to hamstring American power and influence and shake Uncle Sam down for cash.
Here are just a few of the issues on the table in Glasgow:
- “Net-Zero” has become the buzzword to watch. The Biden Administration is pushing to electrify everything and to generate all that electricity with intermittent wind and solar which are not up to the task;
- “Nationally determined contributions” are each countries’ individual plans pursuant to the Paris Climate Accord. Glasgow is the UN’s chance to rope America in while China, Russia, and India skate free.
- The UN is hoping Biden will pump billions into its Green Climate Fund with a heaping extra payout to make up for the funds the Trump Administration was unwilling to waste. Obama diverted the cash sidestepping congressional appropriation. Will Biden?
- Loss and damage mean placing financial responsibility on developed nations when extreme weather events strike poor countries. So far the U.S. has managed to steer clear of this one. However, activist-driven “attribution science” now wrongfully pins every natural weather event that comes along on climate. This has developing nations licking their chops. Biden and Kerry may be just the pair to surrender.
- China continues to add coal plants as fast as its economy will permit, and now emits more greenhouse gases than the rest of the developed world COMBINED! China recently pledged to fight climate change by not helping Africans build their electric grids (while continuing to expand its own). China’s ploy to distract us? Demand America pay more!
CFACT will keep you fully informed as the UN climate conference unfolds in Scotland.
One person to watch at COP 26 is Greta Thunberg. Watch for the unscientific, unsmiling young Swedish scold to continue to hector world leaders.
Greta has been none too amused by international climate diplomacy recently saying, “Build back better. Blah, blah, blah. Green economy. Blah, blah, blah. Net-zero by 2050. Blah, blah, blah. Climate-neutral. Blah, blah blah.”
Greta may be on to something with her “Blah, blah, blahs,” but when she follows it up with a demand for Socialist “climate justice” she becomes one more opponent of individual freedom.
Socialism is not the solution to climate change or anything else.

“China continues to add coal plants as fast as its economy will permit, and now emits more greenhouse gases than the rest of the developed world COMBINED!”
I wish you guys would stop using the terms that the Climate Change pushers use. It’s called CO2 (an extremely small part of the atmosphere but we wouldn’t be here without it) not a “Greenhouse Gas”. Same with “Carbon emissions”. Use the terms CO2 or Carbon Dioxide.
Steve, it’s an easy trap to fall into.
Some of us lazily use their terms when pointing out their hypocrisy and failings. Their lingo is so pervasive that it takes a conscious effort not to use it. Telling the brain washed that carbon dioxide is good for them is like slapping them in the face. We have been conditioned not to slap others in the face. One day……………
Too bad no one has come up with Jumper Cables to restart a Brain then Biden would,nt be such a a total idiot
If the politicians who fast tracked wind turbines and solar farms into our lives worry so much about “emissions” , maybe they should fast track some nuclear generating stations in order to make our electricity grids dependable. Wave the red tape . The technology exists. Spin it as more Green jobs. It’s the only way out of the mess you are in.
COP26 may be seen as an opportunity to “rope America” on Nationally Determined Contributions,” but not even Germany has been able to meet their pledge in this area. No matter what Biden and Kerry agree to, it takes the Congress and Senate to make it happen. This doesn’t appear likely. The same is true on the green climate fund.
Socialism and Marxism has infiltrated and controls much of the climate change movement. I have read more than one article from such authors that states climate change can not be solved under the capitalist system. Marxists are very Anti-Semitic. Signature behavior of this antisemitism was shown when the climate change group withdrew from the get out the vote rally because a Jewish organization was participating.
