OPINION

Dear Editor

The world’s rich and famous, plus an army of publicists, hangers-on and mendicants, are attending the COP28 meeting in Dubai, the ostentatious 7-star playground capital of United Arab Emirates where even the police drive luxury sports cars.

We peasant classes sitting at home note that climate royalty, including King Charles from UK, John Kerry from USA and Blackouts Bowen from Australia are all flying there, burning vast amounts of carbon fuels. Fittingly, these hypocrites chose to meet in the richest and most wasteful artificial city in the world wallowing in wealth derived from oil, gas and air travel tourists.

UAE has already been accused of using the meeting to organise oil and gas sales ‘on the sidelines’ so, for them, it will be doubly profitable.

We wonder how John Kerry will explain how the green new deal is falling apart in the USA.

The sinister hidden agenda of COP28 in Dubai is about rationing and depopulation – they want to ration energy, reduce meat production and eliminate wasteful driving and “useless eaters”.

They want us locked into 15-minute cities with our movements tracked and restricted to walking, bicycles and small communal electric cars. They plan to abolish the freedom of cash so they can track our consumption. They want to see us restricted to green smoothies, oat-milk coffee, minced crickets and fake meat burgers while they jet off to a new well-fed tourist destination every year.

We have copped these annual climate-fests for twenty-six years now. The last one catered for about 40,000 delegates and hangers-on for two weeks of talk-fest that achieved NOTHING useful (as usual). Even Saint Greta Thunberg said that COP27 was a scam.

Let’s have a few Clexit (Climate Exit) Referenda so we can Vote NO and repudiate all liabilities under the Kyoto and Paris Climate Agreements.

Only stupid Western politicians from places like the UK, USA and Australia think they can force-feed wind-solar energy sufficiently to keep the lights on as coal and gas plants close. Naturally, Greens are also opposed to building dams for hydro energy and they do not like nuclear.

The Net Zero Prize for reaching fanciful Net Zero Emissions targets will be precarious populations with industry operating on the whims of the weather and an angry, urbanised, locked-down population faced with food, fuel and electricity rationing.

There is no global warming crisis. And politicians cannot control the climate.

However King What’s-‘is-name, John Kerry (the US Presidential Envoy for Controlling Climate) and Blackouts Bowen (Australia’s Minister for Climate Panics and Zero Energy) are determined to create an electricity crisis. Power grid failure will be followed quickly by failure of food and water supplies to cities.
