The dignitaries attending the United Nations COP28 local weather summit in Dubai largely don’t eat meat. That is as a result of they imagine and have been advised that meat results in flatulence, and flatulence results in “international warming.” As a substitute, they get largely plant-based meals. In one other becoming irony, some individuals got here from European international locations the place there may be heavy snow and chilly temperatures. Their personal jets emit way more CO2 than many steaks.
In a press launch, UAE Surroundings Minister Mariam Almheiri mentioned: “We all know that our meals programs are inextricably linked to the destiny of our pure world, which is why we now have taken the progressive resolution to make sure that we look at how catering throughout the occasion could be accountable and local weather acutely aware.”
The place have we heard variations of this apocalyptic nonsense earlier than? From just about all over the place, elites collect and try to control, more and more tax us and restrict our freedoms. World warming is the secular holy of holies, and people who don’t embrace their “religion” should be solid into outer darkness, the place there may be weeping and gnashing of enamel.
King Charles III elevated his already excessive hyperbole about local weather change when he advised the meeting: “The Earth doesn’t belong to us, we belong to the Earth.” Was he referring to the creation account in Genesis? Most likely not.
In 2009, then-Prince Charles mentioned we had simply 96 months to stop “irreparable local weather and ecosystem collapse.” Two thousand seventeen got here and went and we now have but to see a collapse. Nor have any of the opposite quite a few predictions of varied local weather change apostles come true. It doesn’t matter. Simply as we now have now discovered from the British Medical Journals that masking youngsters through the Covid-19 pandemic had no “actual world actuality”, we should always take the alarmist claims from Dubai with a grain of salt.
US local weather change envoy John Kerry, who flew in on his personal jet, mentioned he believes coal vegetation shouldn’t be “allowed anyplace on this planet.” Kerry, who will not be a local weather scientist and principally repeats and provides to what he has been advised by individuals who reinforce what he already believes, has made repeated predictions in regards to the finish of the world. Like Nostradamus and fashionable non secular and secular false prophets, none have come true. However we should always imagine Kerry now as a result of he mentioned he’s turning into “increasingly more” militant on local weather coverage. That is as a result of, he says, folks keep away from accountability. Details from actual specialists, no more militant, is what we’d like. Keep away from believing in a “scientific consensus” on local weather change. Do you bear in mind Dr. Anthony “I am Science” Fauci’s claims that had been subsequently confirmed to be unfaithful?
How way more of this could we take? Authorities leaders and bureaucrats are continuously on the lookout for new “crises” to impose their will on us whereas largely disobeying the legal guidelines and laws they cross. When their predictions of catastrophe do not come true, they shortly transfer on to the following one.
The quick meals chain Chick-fil-A has a billboard displaying a cow saying “eat extra rooster.” Maybe the local weather alarmists ought to undertake that slogan whereas persevering with to advertise a false doctrine that, if adopted, will value trillions of {dollars} and fail to attain the targets they declare. Does not this signify one thing just like the outdated central planning programs of Soviet Russia? We all know the way it went, together with a compelled famine beneath Joseph Stalin.
