CNN: World leaders ‘snub’ UN’s ‘lackluster’ climate summit COP29: ‘Striking list of leaders…won’t bother going at all’

Leaders snub another petrostate summit
The COP29 talks were already shaping up to be lackluster. It’s the third year in a row that they’ve been held in a petrostate. Mukhtar Babayev, a state-oil company veteran, will preside over the event.

More striking than the list of leaders making opening remarks is the list of those who won’t bother going at all: US President Joe Biden, France’s Emmanuel Macron, European Union chief Ursula Von Der Leyen and even Claudia Sheinbaum, the climate scientist-turned-president of Mexico.

…

A number of leaders who were scheduled to go have since pulled out. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz canceled his appearance after his fragile three-way coalition government collapsed last week. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof withdrew to deal with his own domestic crisis, as violent clashes erupted in Amsterdam around a football match contested by Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who will host the climate talks next year in Brazil, bowed out after a head injury. There will be few powerful leaders to send Trump any kind of warning shots on climate.

A surprise presence at the talks will be officials from the Taliban as observers, Reuters reports, marking a rare appearance by the group at a multilateral event since seizing control of Afghanistan in 2021, after the US’ chaotic withdrawal.

UN climate conference — just an excuse to shake West down for cash
Opinion by Bjorn Lomborg • 18h

The UN climate summit in Azerbaijan kicked off Monday in the shadow of Donald Trump’s election and with many key leaders not even showing up.

With low expectations set before it even began, the summit will nonetheless see grandiose speeches on the need for a vast flow of money from rich countries to poorer ones.
 
Unrealistic even before Trump’s victory, such calls for trillions of dollars are misguided and sure to fail.

The main problem is that wealthy countries — responsible for most emissions leading to climate change— want to cut emissions while poorer countries mainly want to eradicate poverty through growth that remains largely reliant on fossil fuels.

To get poorer countries to act against their own interest, the West started offering cash two decades ago.

'World must pay up, or humanity will pay the price,' Guterres warns COP29 climate summit

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday called for 'climate justice' in his address to the United Nations annual climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. He told world leaders gathered in Baku that acting on climate change was not negotiable and that "time is running out."

What he really meant is we need to crush the US with so much debt from something that is phony and has no real solution they will never be able to recover so they can be made communist.

Mag: ‘Trump Wins, Planet Loses’ – Morano heads to UN’s COP29 in Azerbaijan – Gore depressed – Bernie Sanders: ‘Struggle against climate change is over’
By Marc Morano
November 8, 2024
2:52 pm

Climate Depot note: I will be on the ground again this year attending the UN climate summit COP29 in Azerbaijan. Morano will be there for the week of November 10th through 15 in Baku, following the UN’s every effort to squelch your freedom and continue the dark path of net-zero rationing of energy, food, freedom of movement, and free speech. This will be my 20th out of the past 22  international UN summits to attend in person.

Flashback 2016: UN Armed Security Shuts Down Morano After he SHREDS UN Paris Pact at Climate Summit Next To Trump Cut-out



This year’s summit is being dubbed the “finance COP” because climate and green energy lobbyists are descending on the event to try to funnel even more U.S. taxpayer money into their pockets.

Morano: “With Donald Trump winning the US presidential election, the United Nations COP29 will turn into a giant wake, with the United Nations facing defeat of their anti-human climate agenda. The entire climate agenda is facing utter and complete collapse due to its unrealistic mandates and targets. Failure across the board is occurring, from emission targets to anemic electric vehicle sales to pushback by farmers fighting back against agricultural climate restrictions. The Trump victory will help push the United Nations and its net zero agenda into the dustbin of history. I will be on the ground with other team members to report daily on what’s happening post-election at one of the most consequential UN climate summits.”
