Such is the aura: Citizen Trump stymies the UN climate talks without even trying

Trump casts a shadow over UN meeting.

By Jo Nova

The whole world is waiting to see who wins the US Election

The annual UN junket-fest for climate troughers  — called COP 29 — starts the week after the US election. But this year things are running behind schedule as countries sit on their hands.

The oceans are boiling, the clock of doom is five seconds from midnight, and “renewables are cheap”, but if the largest economy in the world loses enthusiasm, so does everyone else. For some reason, the same cannot be said about the second, fourth and fifth largest economies.

No wonder they are so afraid of him.

Trump stalks global climate talks as COP29 draws near

By Nick Perry, The Japan Times

The prospect of Donald Trump returning as president is hanging over crucial U.N.-sponsored climate negotiations, with countries “holding back” their positions until they know who sits in the White House.

This year’s negotiations hope to increase money for poorer countries to handle climate change, but some governments have not proposed a concrete dollar figure, wary of committing too soon.

“Everybody is holding back until they know who gets elected,” said Mohamed Adow, a campaigner and head of research group Power Shift Africa.

Unlike most years, it’s two month ahead and the money is not on the table. The wheeling and dealing is not being done:

The months of lead-up sessions to COP29, which is being hosted this year in Azerbaijan, have been painfully slow even by the plodding standards of global climate diplomacy, participants say.

With just two months to go, there still isn’t an agreed definition of “climate finance” let alone how much should be paid, which countries should receive it and how, and who should be on the hook for it.

Some developing countries are demanding north of $1 trillion annually, a 10-fold increase on existing pledges.

If elected, Trump could slash funding for the climate and Ukraine, leaving the EU — which saw swings to the right in elections this year — footing the bill.

The EU are not so much worried that they might have to “foot the bill” — what scares them is that an unleashed United States will outcompete their own sabotaged economies, making them look like losers.  That will feed discontent and the rise of horrid far righty parties. (Those extremists that think men are men and fish don’t need wind turbines.)

We can take a tiny spec of comfort in this. It doesn’t mean Trump will win, but it means the Galactic Deep State Blob are still worried that he might. Democracy is not completely dead (yet).

Greg Sheridan explains the Australian situation, but it is the same in any Climate Patsy Land:

Why a Donald Trump White House spells disaster for Albanese [our Labor PM]

if Trump wins, suddenly Albanese’s energy policy will look even more unrealistic, and needlessly costly, than it does now. As it is, the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitter, China, is increasing its fossil fuel use and not significantly reducing emissions. This is true, too, of fast-growing emitters such as India and Indonesia.

If the US at the level of national government turns against the climate action consensus, it will be extremely hard to argue that Australia must suffer vastly greater energy prices in order to keep faith with the allegedly global compact on climate change (which of course is not remotely global).

Just by running for office, Donald Trump is putting the brakes on some of the more flagrant climate payola, at least temporarily.   The Swamp Monsters don’t want to look too profligate lest he win, because when the brains, the factories and the profits all leave for The Land of The Free, it will make their own positions look so ridiculous.

    There seems to be talk now of a second debate.

    trump did not do well on the first one responding to Harris baiting him and moderators who gave her an easy ride.

    She has not been subjected to any tough questions by the media and most who were objective would say she outperformed trump and was better prepared.

    Hopefully if there is a return match he can Harry her on matters of substance including the economy, immigration and Americas place in the world. If not, it is her election to lose and her minders are keeping a tighter rein on her than those advising trump.

    Perhaps there may be a rebound after the latest assassination attempt.

      The first debate was Trump’s second debate. He does not need a third.

      There was no debate! Kamala did not even answer the very first question. She was not fact checked once. It was a three person pile on.
      And she will do exactly the same in a her second, his third.

      Far worse, Kamala was exposed as having no policies at all. Her statements were policy free and meaningless. Personal attacks.

      And in closing Trump pointed out the absurdity of her claim to be a game changer while she and Biden are currently in power anyway. She must run on the existing policies or damn her own boss and herself.

      And his two most powerful messages. Kamala is a Marxist. And Biden hates her.

      It wouldn’t me surprise to learn that Trump wanted a very close debate result, maybe even a loss.

      This man is normally 6 months ahead of the mob, maybe,, just maybe the first debate was a test to set up a wipe out in a second Trump / Harris debate. Just thinking!!

          Hopefully, the candidates deserve a second round and this time Donald will be better prepared.

          Each candidate seems to have a basis to claim they won the debate.

          The main target audience for presidential debates is undecided voters- who appear to have given Trump the win.

          Harris clearly was targeting the more tremulous of her own base- projecting the power to manipulate from within the MSM defensive wall. No regrets cheating wins the base.

            Down on the hustings looking for the elusive undecided.

            ‘According to a poll from FiveThirtyEight, 57% of debate watchers nationally said Harris turned in the better performance; only 34% said Trump did.
            ‘For undecided voters, Hagle believes these performances may not be enough to lean one way or another.

            “Some of these folks basically don’t like any of the candidates. They think it’s all kind of a scam or something of that nature, or it doesn’t make much of a difference, and so they’ll have a tendency to just say, ‘I’m not going to bother.’ And that’s why the campaigns have to work particularly hard to turn out those folks,” Hagle said.

    Strange how all the intelligent developing economies are building so much of the new,reliable base-load energy while so much of the developed world are trying to build toxic, unreliable disasters like W & S.
    The 14 billion tons of extra non OECD co2 emissions will increase over the next 30 years and the OECD countries will be very weak and very vulnerable and have much lower standards of living.
    Hopefully electoral cycles will fix some of our problems, but there will be more trillions of $ wasted down the drain if we don’t act soon.

    Supplementary:

    “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

    Voltaire.

    Or, more recenty; Rowan Atkinson:

    “The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas – even if they are sincerely held beliefs – is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. It all points to the promotion of the idea that there should be a right not to be offended. But in my view the right to offend is far more important than any right not to be offended. The right to ridicule is far more important to society than any right not to be ridiculed because one in my view represents openness – and the other represents oppression”

    And from “anon”:

    “Offence cannot be given, only taken”.

      So very true Bruce. Notice how real anthropologists are ignored in favour of truth tellers when it comes to Aboriginal history. The truth in this case would destroy the narrative but at the same time might well inform the policies that would keep Aboriginal women and children safe. There would be much offence taken when sound advice is given.

      Who would have thought that Rowan Atkinson, best known as Mr Bean would be one of the best debaters/truth tellers about the unviability of unreliables and the dangers to free speech.
      Having a master’s degree in electrical engineering provides him with the knowledge and credibility that I wish some of our politicians had.
      At this stage the pollies have dug themselves a hole so deep that I think our only way out of the unreliables fiasco is for deadly/costly blackouts to occur.

      Federally because they set (tilt?) the playing field that the electricity market operates in.

      Internationally because politicians like to look good, it doesn’t matter if things actually work. You can’t participate in the feel good gravy train of COP meetings, conferences, grants and the networking opportunities that can lead to that next cushy climate agency/UN/board appointments if you aren’t actively mouthing the words and being seen to play the game. Matt Kean is a current example, Ardern, Flannery etc. Wouldnt surprise me if Bowen actually scored a role , as ridiculous as that seems. That’s not even mention the highly paid wasters at most of the climate alphabet agencies, the CSIRO and the BOM. It’s a big industry that achieves nothing positive.

      The State monopoly on electricity generation had to be put aside to achieve the national grid.

      Up until NEMMCO was formed. the States could charge wheeling costs to customers buying power in another State so the prices worked out at the same despite starting at lower cost at the point of generation. The wheeling charge was for just because they had the monopoly of cross boundary transmission of power.

      A company could own a power station in Queensland and a business in NSW using the power from Queensland but NSW could charge a wheeling charge based on zero logic but because the business was located in NSW.

      NEMMCO broke the state monopoly ion power generation across boundaries and the poles and wires businesses had to charge equitable rates for all customers. NEMMCO predated AEMO.

      Electricity is an industry trading across state boundaries and it makes sense that Federal Government are involved in its regulation.

      The national market operated from the early 1990s and electricity prices reduced to 2000 before the “renewables” theft was introduced.

    Most importantly, Trumps enemies are known.

    Iran who fears their war in the Middle East will come to an aburpt stop, their oil sales, their munitions sales.

    China which needs the US as their major market. Who else is crazy enough to buy windmills and their electric cars and fund their viral research and host their spies?

    Ukraine who need more weapons and cash and soldiers and long range missiles in their forever war.

    Washington, DC, the FBI, CIA, NSA all of whom will be exposed. There is no way Crooks would have been on that roof without help and everyone looking the other way. A Butler SWAT policeman stopped the shooting and only then an FBI sniper who shot Crooks so he couldn’t talk.

        Interesting. This was no would be Ukraine war hero. He planned to murder and escape with the film of his feat. Which is why he nearly did because unlike Crooks, apart from cold blooded murder, his two concerns were the film and his escape. Crooks had no camera and no escape plan. And everyone knew he was on the roof except the FBI.

        Number filed off the Chinese made gun, so he meant to leave it. Did not intend to take anything but the Go Pro camera, which means he wanted to film it. That may be why he wanted Trump closer for his video and what ultimately saved Trump’s life, the movie and the ego of the shooter. And he wore only a T Shirt, dress lightly and left everything at the scene. Stolen number plates. A clean shaven anonymous summer tourist. He was fifty miles away when stopped. And played dumb.

        They could prove nothing. He thought. Apart from one witness with a phone. And amazingly they flew the witness to the arrest scene for an ID of the vehicle at least. He would have been very surprised. It was a clean anonymous getaway. He thought.

        He was a violent gun toting mercenary well known to both the Ukranians and the Democrats. But did he have a phone call/message to tell him about the unscheduled golf game? Everything points to Ukraine/FBI/Democrats. And the FBI will handle the case. As usual. Epstein, Clintons, Hunter laptop, Weinstein laptop (Uma Amadeen, Hillary). There is no mess the FBI cannot clean up.

    Here’s the latest UN projections for global population by—–

    2030= 8.56 billion

    2050= 9.6 billion.

    2100= 10.1 billion.

    Again, this just proves that so called net zero is a very sick joke and developing countries will continue to rapidly increase the use of fossil fuels and AI will further blow out the demand for a lot more energy by 2030 and by 2050 and by 2100.
    Of course the cost of unreliable, toxic W & S would be a global environmental disaster and all for zero change and would cost about 215 Trillion $ according to Bloomberg’s teams best guesstimate.
    And the Australian net zero cost would be about 2 Trillion $ according to their ABC and would destroy up to 28,000 klms of our land and sea environments.
    All all this toxic waste of Trillions of $ and all for zero change to our temperature, weather and climate.

      Just a quick calculation from our Aussie cost of 2 Trillion $ for net zero.
      Aussies emit about 1% of global human co2 emissions, so the cost for all the other countries should be 100 times our 2 Trillion $ = 200 Trillion $.

        Zero change. We humans CANNOT change CO2. It is 98% a freely dissolved ocean based gas with a vapour pressure set by the kinematics of evaporation across the 72% of the planet which is ocean.

        Growing trees has no effect on CO2, so Australia’s legislated Carbon Credits 2011 are just science nonsense.

        From 1988 to 2014 NASA discovered increased CO2 means more trees in near exact proportion.

        And in this graph, try to spot the effect of 500,000 Windmills or even of China on almost constant atmospheric CO2 for the last 50 years.

        There is almost zero fossil fuel CO2 in the air. And even if there was, that’s a good thing after the last ice age. The history of Europe and America really only started 6,000 years ago as 1km of ice melted. Are any of these places with 60% of the world’s population really scared of a hot summer and warmer winter? Really? The land’s springing back faster than any sea rise.

          And as 98% of the CO2 is from overseas, why are we bothering? We should be demanding damages, reparations from everyone else! Especially China. Even the breath of their 1.4Billion people exceeds our total Co2 output. (an increase of a billion people in 100 years, thoughtlessly)

      … so called net zero is a very sick joke and developing countries will continue to rapidly increase the use of fossil fuels

      The “joke” is that net zero is a novel way to ration energy, increase the real cost of energy, reduce a country’s productivity, and increase net foreign debt.

      It is promoted as a means of significantly reducing human-caused carbon dioxide emissions, but actually involve increases in emissions to eventually (hopefully) achieve a net reduction.

    AUKUS is not in Australia’s interests – a vitriolic response by Labor’s elder statesmen is fully justified! Paul Keating, Bob Carr seem to have jangled a few security establishment nerves with their critique of the AUKUS submarine deal as having profound negative implications for Australia’s security and sovereignty.

    Quotes from the Left encouraging a Trump assassination as quoted by Senator Babet (United Australia Party, Sicktoria).

    The Democrats, the media and left wing celebrities are responsible for the assassination attempts on President Trump.

    They all helped to create an environment in which a first and second (likely third) assassination attempt was bound to take place.

    They purposefully created and curated an atmosphere in which attempts on their political opponent’s life was all but guaranteed.

    They called him Hitler, Mussolini, a threat to democracy and much much worse.

    They did this on purpose, by design. These people are disgusting pieces of filth.

    When Trump is elected then on his first day in office he will ditch the US participation in the Paris agreement. With immediate effect, no notice period. Why? Because he gave notice 6 years ago and anything that Biden cs have done in the meantime is irrelevant. Thus, not a single US $ from day one. That is wat worries the grifters most.

      The grift is just ancillary.
      Booty for the hired mercenaries to keep the pirate ship loyal.
      The real purpose is the creation of global legal structures which supersede nation states.
      The Pandemic was the first flight test.
      It flew.

    For things to really change in Australia, it would have to cause seismic changes in Labor and Liberals.

      Probably the same for all the West, the two parties swapping power have no differences in attending international cocktail parties with their peers while lording over the peasants and great unwashed, and no differences in doing what the WEF tell them to do.

      Any differences in the lead-up to an election are illusory!

    Dan Andrews and his lying wife were identified as Perverting the course of Justice but are unlikely to see the inside of a cell as the 2013 incident won’t reach the High Court until mid-2025. The cops that facilitated their crime have been promoted.

    Frankly it’s a bit of a scandal we haven’t got any space-drones closer to the sun so we get a few hours planning time. Priorities!

    This blog has been hijacked!
    Jo, the real one, would never post that.

    Slightly off-road…

    I just stumbled on Peter Ridd’a YouTube channel. No doubt many here already know about it, but in case there are any others like myself who were unaware of it, here it is.

    All sounds a bot like one of those vacuous “dont let your mascara hold you back TV adverts”

    Seriously, if what they wanted to do made sense, actually worked and was really for the common good it would surge ahead on its own momentum. Instead they appear to be acknowledging that their nonsense is all built on a house of cards easily disrupted by one person, or even the threat of that one person coming to power.
