The latest from the United Nations Annual conference on climate changeMonday will see COP27 begin in the luxury resort town Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt. There, thousands of leaders and policy makers will engage each other in broad-ranging discussions.
This conference is one year after COP26, Glasgow, Scotland. Here, leaders from all over the world, including countries with the highest levels of emissions, signed a Non-binding climate agreement resembling previous pacts. The agreement was quickly rescinded by U.N. SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres, who opened the door to COP27.
He said that “It’s an essential step, but not enough.” “It’s time to go into emergency mode.”
Greenpeace International and other groups also criticized the agreement calling it a “polite demand”.
UN BRUSHES OFF CONCERNS ABOUT UPCOMING CLIMATE SUMMMIT’S HUGE CARBON FOOTPRINT
This year’s summit is scheduled to start Monday and end on Nov. 18. High-ranking officials from the U.S.A. and other Western countries have already prepared. It was reiterated how important it isGlobal warming was a major threat to humanity, they said.
“Among all the centrifugal forces that have pushed the world apart over the past 20 years, each attempting to do so in different ways, the climate crisis remains the most pressing issue. It will forever change the course of human history. It may sound lofty, but it isn’t. John Kerry, Special Presidential Envoy to Climate, will be leading the American delegation at this event.
“Existential means existential. He said that this requires us all to work together because no country can solve the crisis alone. “So it’s especially appropriate to be here, just 12 days before the gavel is going to come down at the COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh – and with it, a major accountability moment on this urgent issue.”
Kerry said that nations should “repair the world at the pace science demands” as well as increase their adaptability to global warming.
The conference will focus on advancing solutions to reduce carbon emissions and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius below pre-industrial levels. According to the U.N.

“I don’t have any expectations for COP27,” Anthony Watts, senior fellow for climate and environment at The Heartland Institute said in an interview. “This is essentially nothing more than a show.”
“Even with the Paris accords in 2015 – they supposedly came up with a breakthrough,” Watts added. If everyone keeps their promises and does not object, the breakthrough will only result in a small temperature drop of just a few hundredths by 2100. It’s purely show and trade. It’s not possible to achieve anything real here.”

Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, noted that the U.N. has itself projected carbon emissions will increase by at least 10% by 2030, suggesting previous pledges have been relatively ineffective.
He stated that even if you believe that global warming is imminent, no one’s doing anything to stop it.” In an interview with Fox News Digital, he said: “So, it’s all pointless.”

The conference will also focus on securing additional climate finance agreements to allow developing countries to pay for complex renewable energy technologies. It is clear that the U.N. pledge of $100 billion per annum to poor countries to mitigate climate change through 2025 in 2009 has not been fulfilled by Western nations.
Despite the fact that Trump administration backs outIn climate finance agreements, President Biden pledged more that $11 billion annually to the developing world in climate mitigation.
Before the conference, a grouping of African and Arab countries formed the so-called COP27 Coalition to make a number demands on wealthy nations. The coalition demanded that the West “provide technology, finance and capacity to developing nations” as part of its demands.

“We are telling developing countries that we don’t want them going through the process to develop, we don’t want them having coal, natural gas, or nuclear,” Daniel Turner (executive director of Power The Future) said in an interview to Fox News Digital. “We want them use solar and wind, which are inefficient and extremely costly.
He said, “Alongside climate financing, there is a lot energy poverty, and we’re comfortable plunging some sectors of the world, including certain sections of the American populace, into energy poverty.”

Overall, the two-week summit is expected to welcome about 40,000 participants – including 24,000 diplomats and 13,000 observers – matching last year’s total, according to the U.N.
Kerry will be joined by President Biden and other top officials from the administration who will travel to Egypt to attend the conference. And U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak His decision was reversedNot to attend COP27 because climate action is essential for long-term prosperity as well as energy security.
China and India, the two largest emitters in the world, will send a smaller delegation than previous conferences. This makes it doubtful that any agreement could have significant impact. China accounts for about 27% of total global emissions – nearly tripling the total in the U.S., the world’s second-largest emitter, according to Rhodium Group – and continues to approve and construct a large amount of coal power plants.

“That should be the priority, or at least the first agenda item of the conference. Turner stated that climate change is a global problem and that two of the largest emitters in the world are not participating.
“China is bringing more coke online. He said that China is bringing more coal online to the United States than they currently have. “Why would America attempt to cut coal when it is being totally offset or exacerbated in China’s way?”

The European consumer and business community has been experiencing a boom in recent months. Energy bills can be very highRussia’s invasion in Ukraine resulted in a disruption of the global oil and gas markets. This was due to Russian producers’ dominance and a aggressive transition to green energy sources such as wind and solar, which was pushed forward by many major European countries.
Europeans have had to take drastic measures in order to conserve energy, keep their bills low and maintain their financial stability during the crisis. Meanwhile, governments have implemented rationing rules and established relief programs.
A similar crisis has caused energy prices to rise in the United States. The average home heating cost will increase by 17.8% in this winter compared with last year.

Benny Peiser from the Global Warming Policy Foundation in London said that the green agenda was a cult-like movement. They will continue as long as governments push this agenda, and there is no indication currently in Europe or the U.S. that this will end.
He said, “There is, of necessity, a growing realization, that the energy policy in Europe over 20-30 years has been an utter catastrophe.” “But, are our governments and ministers going to admit that we got it wrong?” No.”
