What if you threw a big green party and nobody came?
The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties or COP29 is happening in glorious Azerbaijan but the usual folks flying huge jets to warn us about the danger of using fossil fuels are mostly staying home.
Except for the Taliban who showed up to demand money. (Not a joke.)
Biden has trouble walking across sand. Xi has better things to do with his time. About the only G7 leader to show up is UK PM Keir Starmer (unless you want to pretend that Italy’s Meloni is a world leader) who waddled around like a ridiculous dark and mumbled something about the importance of being green so all the old white British pensioners freeze to death over the winter.
‘I have repeatedly emphasised the importance of global leadership when it comes to the climate challenge, and therefore it is very important for me to come to Cop,” PM Starmer whined. He said there was ‘a global race’ to be the leader on renewable energy, adding: ‘I want us to win the race.’
That’s like wanting to win the world curling championship. Nobody else is even showing for this one.
Of Mr Trump’s remarks on climate change, Sir Keir said: ‘I’m not going to comment on his views, I am very clear in mine which is that the climate challenge is something that we have got to rise to and that’s why I’ve repeatedly said we’ve got to show leadership.’
And you know how to show leadership… by constantly talking about showing leadership.
But the Starmer regime, which panders to Islamists, is in good company at COP29, with the Taliban.
Never has Starmer better resembled Boris Johnson’s description of him as a “a bullock having a thermometer unexpectedly shoved in its rectum”.
