A speaker at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also called COP29, in Baku, Azerbaijan, said Wednesday that extreme heat events should be named in order to combat climate change. [emphasis, links added]

The summit, which began Monday, featured speakers proposing taxes on the meat and dairy industry and “climate finance” initiatives for less-developed countries.


One speaker, ClimateWorks Foundation CEO Helen Mountford, described the need for “innovative approaches” to fight climate change.

“This summer, in response to the secretary general’s call for action on extreme heat, we put forward an initial $50 million to help support action in this area, and we will be looking to do more,” Mountford told a panel at the conference.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

“This summer, in response to the secretary general’s call for action on extreme heat, we put forward an initial $50 million to help support action in this area, and we will be looking to do more,” Mountford told a panel at the conference. “I want to offer three specific areas where I think we can really help move this agenda forward. One is just, as the U.N. system comes together to work together on this … to provide some of the research and data, support some of that, to provide — to fund pilots and evaluation of heat action plans in key countries to help support getting access to other funds, public and private, in those countries. So that’s one.”

I imagine the impact will be even greater on natives of the Amazon, Congo, and the Inuits. *****rollingeyes*****

It appears Al Gore has been a liar about the climate for many decades.

... and Tipper Gore was warning that explicit music lyrics would turn America's youth into a coven of devil worshippers.

John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" lyrics were enticing America's children to use drugs.  John Denver's appearances with the Muppets were also subliminally telling kids to lick psychdelic frogs and toads.

It was even alleged, that if you listened to a Carpenters record backwards you could hear "Supply-side economics is our salvation."
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

I distinctly recall that when children were forced to watch ManBearPigs schlockumentary  in schools in England a father sued to stop it because it was nothing but lies and propaganda…..and he won.
