Renowned Arctic Scientist Debunks ‘Climate Crisis,’ Warns ‘Ice Age’ Is Coming

A world-renowned Arctic scientist has spoken out to debunk the globalist “climate crisis” narrative and warn the public that the Earth is actually heading for a period of “global cooling.”



Leading polar expert Andrey Fedotov of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences declared that “warming is about to end” and the planet is about to enter an “ice age.”



“We will inevitably transition to an unfavorable cold,” he warned, according to the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).



According to Fedotov, the director of the Limnological Institute of the RAS, the period of “unfavorable cold” will begin around 2030.



Fedotov issued the warning in a statement that was published by RAS, the country’s leading scientific institution.



According to the statement, Fedotov said:



“Warming is about to end.



“And the cause is not humans, but the interplay between the Sun and Earth.



“Currently, we are in a favorable period, but we will inevitably transition to an unfavorable [cold] one … around 2030-2035.”



Fedotov, a doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences, cited his studies of Lake Baikal and historic climate epochs.



“When the ice age comes, you will feel it immediately,” he warns.



Fedotov is urging the public to make preparations as such levels of cold would have a severe impact on the global food supply.



In an interview with the RAS, Fedotov explained his findings.
EXCERPT:



Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS): “In other words, what awaits us is not warming, but cooling. When?”



Andrey Fedotov: “Now we are in a prosperous period, but let’s move on to a disadvantaged one.



“It’s inevitable. According to my estimates, the transition should occur in 2030–2035.”



RAS: “So the Ice Age has already arrived, but we haven’t felt it yet?”



Fedotov: “No. When it comes, you will feel it immediately.”



RAS: “And what should be done now?



“Prepare felt boots, warm clothes, heaters?”



Fedotov: “I would start with food.



“Hungry in felt boots won’t last long.”



Meanwhile, as Western corporate media outlets continue to push the “climate crisis” narrative onto the public, Russian outlets rarely mention green agenda talking points.



Russian TV viewers would assume that “climate change” is not an established fact.



In doubt-inducing programs regularly aired by Russian state channels in the last decade, audiences are confronted with the message that the climate debate is ongoing.



Theories of imminent global cooling hold equal credibility to the consensus on human-induced warming promoted by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).



A 2020 episode of the show “The Most Shocking Hypotheses” on the state-controlled REN TV network aired claims that “global warming turned out to be a global scam.”



In the episode, the host briefly mentions that information in the show would contradict established science.



However, the host asserted that their purpose was to give the floor to another hypothesis so viewers could make their own conclusions.



“Isn’t it time for the whole world to save humanity from imminent doom?” the narrator asks.



“It turns out things are not so straightforward.



“Perhaps the climate apocalypse exists only in the inflamed minds of people, frightened by global media and the shocking predictions of scientists.”



Russian President Vladimir Putin has also voiced mixed rhetoric on climate during his two decades in power.



In 2003, Putin famously joked that Russians would not need to buy as many fur coats if global warming were real.



In 2019, he said that warming is proven to be caused by humans and argued that “nobody knows the causes of global climate change.”



In May, the RAS’s Eurasian Economic Integration Council said that Earth’s warming is not man-made and is primarily due to the “outflow of potassium isotope from the Earth’s depths.”



According to the council, this is linked to the “increasing emission of natural hydrogen, which creates ozone holes.

John Kerry-Backed Taxpayer-Funded ‘Climate Reparations’ Scheme Will Do Nothing for the Environment, Experts Warn

Frank Bergman
October 30, 2023 - 9:51 am


A plan pushed by John Kerry to invest vast sums of American taxpayer money into a “climate reparations” scheme will have no impact on the environment, energy experts are warning.



Kerry, Democrat President Joe Biden’s unregulated “climate czar,” is pushing for billions in U.S. tax dollars to be pumped into the scheme to allegedly “save the planet” from “global warming.”



However, several leading energy experts reportedly told the Daily Caller that the money will do little more than fund discussions about the globalist green agenda.



Officials and green agenda bureaucrats from underdeveloped countries have called for a so-called “climate losses and damages fund.”



The plan will see taxpayers from Western nations that have historically emitted high levels of greenhouse gases, such as the United States, funnel huge sums of money through unelected globalist organizations to compensate developing and poor countries for the claimed effects of “climate change,” according to Axios.



During the last United Nations (UN) climate conference in 2022, delegates heeded the calls of environmentalists and agreed in principle to establish a “climate losses and damages fund.”



However, limited progress has been made toward realizing that pledge as this year’s conference, known as COP28, draws closer on the calendar.



Experts say a finalized agreement on the program is unlikely to be reached at COP28.



Despite the agreement to eventually establish a fund, there is currently an impasse over what shape it should take, according to Axios.



The U.S. has suggested that the World Bank should assume responsibility for administering it.



But representatives of some developing countries disagree strongly.



Many suspect that American influence over the institution would allow for it to be gamed in a way that might allow the U.S. to sidestep or otherwise evade whatever concrete commitments it may make.



Notably, China, which is technically a “developing country” in the eyes of the United Nations, may not be required to pay into the fund, according to China Dialogue.


The free pass for the Chinese Communist Party comes despite China’s role as the world’s second-largest economy and leading emitter of greenhouse gases in 2022.



In fact, China produces more polluting emissions than the rest of the top five polluters combined.



“I have to hand it to them: they keep coming up with new and clever ways to redistribute wealth,” Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, told the Daily Caller.



Pyle said that the push for the U.S. to contribute substantially to the fund is an idea that’s “frivolous and fantastical.”



The Biden administration “will bend over backward to create the appearance that this is a priority for them, but the reality is that Congress will never appropriate a dime for this, even if the Democrats somehow managed to control both chambers” of the legislature, he added.



Meanwhile, Biden’s “Special Presidential Envoy for Climate” John Kerry has rejected the notion that such a fund would amount to a form of climate reparations.



According to Climate Change News, Kerry has indicated that finalizing the creation of a “climate losses and damages fund” is a priority issue for him going into COP28.



“How can you look somebody in the eye, with a straight face, and not accept the notion that there are damages, there are losses?” Kerry told The Guardian in a January interview.



“We see them all around the world.”



Kerry didn’t provide any evidence of the “damages” and “losses” he claims are visible “around the world,” however.



“American families and businesses are already paying too much for energy because of the Biden administration’s ‘America Last’ policies,” Dan Kish, a senior research fellow for the Institute for Energy Research, told the Caller.



“Forking over billions to third-world kleptocracies so they can stuff their Swiss bank accounts with taxpayer money will repulse most Americans,” he continued.



Kish added that “impoverishing Americans to make people around the world stay poor is a plan only John Kerry could support.”



American delegates are attempting to walk a fine line between furthering the fund’s creation and stopping short of possibly exposing the U.S. to legal liability for its historical greenhouse gas emissions, according to Axios.



Sultan Al Jaber, who is set to chair COP28 in the United Arab Emirates, is heavily promoting the climate reparation fund.



“The eyes of the world are on you to deliver clear, clean, and strong recommendations ahead of COP28 to operationalize the Loss and Damage Fund and funding arrangements, so it can be activated and capitalized soon after,” Al Jaber recently told the negotiating committee regarding the impasse in talks, according to Axios.



The outcome of the negotiations regarding the fund’s structure could have a major impact on the outcome of other key issues to be discussed at COP 28 given its outsized importance in establishing trust between the developed and developing worlds, according to Axios.



“It’s no surprise to watch climate zealots fight over who holds the checkbook because grifting taxpayer dollars is the foundation of sand on which the green agenda thrives,” Larry Behrens, communications director for Power the Future, an energy policy advocacy group, told the Daily Caller.



“Leftist politicians like Joe Biden and John Kerry have thrown open the cash vault for their climate failures here at home, and they shouldn’t be shocked that the rest of the world wants their cut too,” he continued.



“These climate reparations are nothing more than a global shakedown orchestrated by those who live under the fallacy that money changes weather.”

Scientists Call for Meat to Carry Warning Labels to ‘Fight Climate Change’

Frank Bergman
November 3, 2023 - 12:59 pm


New calls are emerging for meat products to carry cigarette pack-style warnings to guilt consumers into believing that are contributing to “climate change” if they choose to eat the food.



According to new research, adding graphic warnings to meat-based foods had a significant impact on people’s decisions to choose them.



The idea is being promoted by scientists from Durham University in the UK.



They argue that the novel approach will cut meat and dairy consumption.



They claim that the production of meat and dairy products accounts for about one-seventh of global emissions.



The scientists took a group of 1,000 meat-eating adults and split them into four groups.



The participants were then shown pictures of hot meals tagged with a climate, health, or pandemic warning, or no label.



The participants found the climate warning labels to be the “most credible.”



These labels showed fire-charred landscapes and read: “Warning: Eating meat contributes to climate change.”



“As warning labels have already been shown to reduce smoking as well as drinking of sugary drinks and alcohol, using a warning label on meat-containing products could help us achieve this if introduced as national policy,” said Jack Hughes, the study’s lead author.



These new calls are just the latest push in the war on food.



In 2018, Christiana Figueres, the former United Nations official responsible for the 2015 Paris climate agreement, called for meat to be banned.



Figueres argued that meat eaters should be banished and treated “the same way that smokers are treated.”


“How about restaurants in 10-15 years start treating carnivores the same way that smokers are treated?” Figueres suggested during a conference.



“If they want to eat meat, they can do it outside the restaurant.”



As Slay News previously reported, a World Economic Forum (WEF) scientist also pushed a disturbing plan to advance the anti-meat agenda.



Professor Matthew Liao, a leading bioethicist linked to the WEF “Great Reset” agenda, believes that humans can be genetically engineered to be smaller in size to reduce their impact on so-called “global warming.”



Dr. Liao, director of the College of Global Public Health’s Center for Bioethics at New York University, also wants people to be genetically modified to become meat intolerant.



By making the public allergic to meat, Liao argues that governments could shut down the majority of the farming industry and “save the planet.”



A recently reemerged video shows Liao laying out this sinister plot to fight “climate change” during the 2016 World Science Forum.



His comments have garnered renewed interest as the WEF and its globalist “green agenda” allies attempt to shut down the meat industry to combat the alleged “climate crisis.”



In the video, he explains his vision of ending meat consumption by genetically modifying humans.



“People eat too much meat,” Liao said.



“And if they were to cut down on their consumption of meat, then it would actually really help the planet.”



Liao discussed making humans intolerant to meat through chemical and hormonal interventions.



However, he also admits that he loves meat too much to give it up, suggesting that he would need to be forced to stop consuming it.



“But people are not willing to give up meat,” Liao admitted.



“Some people will be willing to, but other people – they may be willing to but they have a weakness of will.



They say, ‘This steak is just too juicy, I can’t do that.’



“I’m one of those by the way.



“So here’s a thought,” he continues.



“So it turns out that we know a lot about — we have these intolerances.



“For example, I have a milk intolerance.



“And some people are intolerant to crayfish.



“So possibly we can use human engineering to make the case that we’re intolerant to certain kinds of meat, to certain kinds of bovine proteins.”



“There’s this thing called the Lone Star tick where if it bites you, you will become allergic to meat,” he added.



“So that’s something we can do through human engineering.



“We can possibly address really big world problems through human engineering.”



WATCH:

Meanwhile, the WEF is pushing a plan to shift the public’s sentiments toward bug-eating.



The WEF claims that people who refuse to get on board with the Great Reset agenda by eating insects to “save the planet” must be “racist.’”

This comes amid mounting concerns over the side effects of cow protein Alpha-gal.



In the United States, the protein is usually transferred to people with the bite of the Lone Star tick.



However, the Alpha-gal protein is in Covid shots and many childhood vaccines.



Interestingly, the protein can trigger Alpha-gal syndrome which causes potentially-deadly meat allergies in humans.



There is no cure for Alpha-gal syndrome and treatment involves avoiding eating meat.



Sufferers cannot consume beef, pork, lamb, organ meats, or gelatins.

Elon Musk: Green Agenda Is a ‘Death Cult’

Frank Bergman
November 5, 2023 - 12:20 pm


Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has warned the public that the globalist green agenda is a “death cult” disguised as environmentalism.



Musk issued the warning during an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan earlier this week.



Rogan asked Musk what had prompted him to buy Twitter.



Musk replied that he wanted to reverse social media’s “corrosive effect on civilization.”



He talked about the “zombie apocalypse” of downtown San Francisco where X is based.



He continued by explaining the political philosophy that has led to the decline.



Musk went on to describe the extinctionist green agenda movement that explicitly advocates the end of humanity.



He described this globalist-led movement as a “death cult.”



Musk said the public has been infected with a “mind virus” that is being spread by weaponized social media platforms.



He asserted that the cult remains largely in charge of Facebook and Google.



The X owner noted that those pushing the “climate crisis” agenda have little interest in the environment.



He went on to point out that while there were explicit extinctionists at the fringes of the environmental movement, the sentiment behind the “death cult” had pervaded the movement as a whole.



Musk told Rogan:


“I’m pro-environment but if you take environmentalism to an extreme, you start to view humanity as a plague on the surface of the earth, like a mould or something…



“The environmental movement – and I’m an environmentalist – has gone too far.



“They’ve gone way to far.



“If you start thinking that humans are bad then the natural conclusion is that humans should die out.”

The comments from Musk come after Democrat President Joe Biden’s “Climate Czar” John Kerry gave a disturbing anti-human speech.



As Slay News reported, Kerry declared that the greatest “threat” facing planet Earth is “humanity itself.”



Kerry, the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, recently addressed the Scottish Global Dialogues about the so-called “climate crisis.”



During his speech, Kerry underscored his globalist anti-human agenda by declaring: “So now, humanity is inexorably threatened by humanity itself.”

WEF-Linked UPenn: ‘Climate Change’ Causing Heart Attacks Spike

Frank Bergman
November 10, 2023 - 12:57 pm


The University of Pennsylvania has published a new study claiming that spikes in fatal heart attacks and strokes are caused by “climate change.”



UPenn, which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and linked to the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF), published the results of its study in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA).



The team of researchers from UPenn, led by Sameed Ahmed M. Khatana, concluded that “climate change is causing an increase in extreme heat.”



They claim that this alleged “increase in extreme heat” is triggering a “deadly wave” in “heat–associated cardiovascular deaths in the United States.”



According to Khatana and his Bill Gates-funded team, cardiovascular deaths linked to extreme heat could triple to almost 5,500 extra deaths per year by 2050.



The scientists insist that taking action now to tackle the so-called “climate crisis” could help to lower the numbers of deaths caused by soaring heart attacks and strokes.



However, they admit that heat-related cardiovascular deaths are still likely to more than double to 4,300 extra deaths per year even if the United States stays on its current planned path of green agenda emissions reductions.



The researchers warn that even more must be done to accelerate the WEF’s “Net Zero” targets to slow down the alleged heat-related deaths.



Khatana, a cardiologist and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, argues that those who are “most vulnerable,” such as black Americans, are most at risk from the cardiovascular death wave.



“The public health impact of climate change is falling on individuals who live on the margins of our society,” says Khatana.



“Any policy action or mitigation efforts really need to be tailored towards individuals who are most vulnerable.”



The prediction originates with Khatana’s group at the University of Pennsylvania.



The team previously modeled the relationship between current deaths from heart attack and stroke and the rising number of “extreme heat days” (defined as having a heat index—a measure of apparent temperature that is a product of ambient temperature and relative humidity—at or above 90 degrees Fahrenheit).


Using data from the 3,108 counties in the contiguous U.S. between 2008 and 2017, they found rising rates of cardiovascular deaths along with a trend of increasing numbers of extreme heat days.



By 2019, they said, there were 54 extreme heat days per year, and 1,651 people died annually as a result.



However, despite the claims linking the deaths to “climate change,” data for heart attacks and stroke deaths have only been recorded in recent years.



Temperate data has been recorded for much longer and records show that recent summer heats are nothing out of the ordinary.



The data for average temperatures has only been recorded for roughly 150 years and it still shows past summers have been far hotter.



The summer heatwave of 1936 for example, was in an entirely different league to this year’s temperatures, which were fairly normal.



Before the 19th century, there were no temperature records for North America at all, making it impossible to compare “extreme heat” data.



As Slay News has reported, cardiovascular deaths have been soaring globally since 2021.



The spike has led some to suggest that Covid has been responsible for the spike.



However, a recent major new autopsy-based study concluded that COVID-19 is not responsible for the “explosion” in heart-related deaths since the pandemic.



Renowned cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough commented on the study by arguing that the results “should be the nail in the coffin in ruling out COVID-19 illness as a cause of fatal myocarditis.”



“Despite the virus being found in heart tissue, it was not causing significant inflammation,” he said.



This means that the “explosion of fatal myocarditis” as inferred from the reports and autopsies of unexplained cardiac arrest, “must have another explanation than SARS-CoV-2 infection,” he added.



McCullough argues that the mRNA shots that were rolled out to the public during the pandemic are responsible for the soaring heart attack deaths.



“The only new proven cause of heart damage in human populations is COVID-19 vaccination,” McCullough asserts.



“Vaccines used in America (Pfizer, Moderna, Janssen, Novavax) have been demonstrated to cause myocarditis as published in the peer-reviewed literature.”



Autopsies of vaccinated patients have found clear evidence of strong expression of spike protein in heart muscle.



This evidence, according to Dr. Michael Palmer and Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, “correlates with significant inflammation and tissue destruction.”

Bill Gates Pushes Genetically Modified Food to Fight ‘Climate Crisis’

Frank Bergman
November 23, 2023 - 12:57 pm


Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is pushing for the public to switch to consuming genetically modified foods in order to allegedly fight the so-called “climate crisis.”



Gates recently gave an address at the Africa Climate Summit.



During his speech, Gates promoted his genetically modified (GM) seeds and chickens by arguing that they tackle “climate change.”



Gates is pushing for his genetically modified food sources to be rolled out for public consumption across Africa.



During his pitch to the summit’s attendees, who were mostly Western power elites, Gates claimed that his GM products will benefit the African people while also “saving the planet.”



The inaugural Africa Climate Summit was held in Nairobi, Kenya.



The event was marketed with the slogan: “Driving Green Growth & Climate Finance Solutions for Africa and The World.”



Among the summit’s funding partners are seerval familiar globalist organizations, including:



The Rockefeller Foundation

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,

The Clinton Health Action Initiative

The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF)

The ClimateWorks Foundation

Sir. Chris Hohn’s CIFF along with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund are part of a small group of global foundations called ClimateWorks.



Since 2018, the collective has committed to investing billions by 2025 to “tackle the climate crisis.”



Gates Ventures, the personal service company of the Microsoft co-founder, is also among ClimateWorks’s funding partners.



In an update in 2020, Hohn said the original group, ClimateWorks, was well on track to invest at least $6 billion by 2025.



The huge investment was “thanks to significant increases from several funders, as well as additional philanthropic donors committing new resources, and likely more as all philanthropists are actively invited to allocate a portion of their portfolio” to invest in “tackling” the corporate elite’s “climate crisis.”


Also listed as funding partners for the Africa Climate Summit are USAID and UKAID.



A handful of UN agencies are also included, such as the UN’s Green Climate Fund and the International Organisation for Migration.



The governments of Germany, Denmark, France, and the European Union are also funneling taxpayer money into the scheme.



There is a token of African funders such as the African Development Bank and EcoBank.



However, it can be easily construed that it was not an African Summit but rather an Anglo-American-European Summit to which some Africans were invited.



Essentially, the summit represented the West and a small group of private foundations “driving green growth and climate finance solutions” in Africa.



Also, many of the suggestions for “saving the planet” etc… often sound more like running experiments on African populations ahead of global rollouts.



As if to prove this point, The Guardian reported that at the Summit the Nairobi Declaration was adopted as a blueprint “to guide” Africa in future negotiations with the West.



The report suggested that Africa would be tested in global forums such as the G20 meeting, the UN general assembly, the annual meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, and COP28.



Meanwhile, the UN hailed the summit as a great success.



However, the UN implied that it was African leaders who were pushing the globalist agenda.



“African leaders, calling for urgent action by developed countries to reduce carbon emissions, have proposed new financing mechanisms to restructure Africa’s crippling debt and unlock climate funding,” UNECA wrote in a press release titled, “Nairobi Declaration makes strong push for accelerated climate action and financing mechanisms.”



“In a call to action, African leaders attending the inaugural Africa Climate Summit held in Nairobi, Kenya, stressed the importance of decarbonizing the global economy for equality and shared prosperity.



“They called for investment to promote the sustainable use of Africa’s natural assets for the continent’s transition to low-carbon development and contribution to global decarbonization.”



However, in reality, the Summit did not go as smoothly as the UN portrayed.



The Guardian reported:



Five hundred African civil society groups under the umbrella of the Africa People’s Climate Assembly, organised what they called the Real Africa Climate Summit. The organisations were concerned about what they called “false solutions” that were on the summit’s agenda, such as carbon markets, carbon credits and the use of technology as a viable alternative to phasing out harmful fossil fuels. These concepts, they said, are led by global north interests “and are being marketed as African priorities when in reality they will embolden wealthy nations and large corporations to continue polluting Africa.”



Maimoni Ubrei-Joe, a climate justice and energy programme coordinator at Friends of the Earth Africa, was blunt on the extractive exploitation model used by key polluters: “What should be Africa’s focus now is to stop the contributors to climate change at source and not look for shortcuts to keep extracting using the smokescreen of the carbon market, geoengineering and other false solutions. This Nairobi Declaration is short of these ideas and it could just be another beautiful document heading for the shelves.”



A few days before the summit, these organisations had written to President Ruto asking him to take charge of the talks, which they said were at risk of being hijacked by interested parties from the West. The US-based consultancy firm McKinsey & Company was identified as having helped shape the summit’s concept note, which the organisations said did not champion Africa’s interests but those of the US and “the Western corporations they represent”. They added: “Rather than advancing Africa’s interests and position on critical climate issues, the summit has been seized by Western governments, consultancy companies and philanthropic organisations hellbent on pushing a pro-west agenda and interests at the expense of Africa.”



So how do the West and private global foundations plan to gain Africa’s cooperation?



With promises of money, according to the report:



Almost every African country present at the summit walked away with a financing deal with Western institutions.



A final communique commended the “progressive capital commitments made during the week” totalling $26bn from public, private, and multilateral development banks, philanthropic foundations and dedicated partners in the development finance community.



Among the key speakers was Democrat President Joe Biden’s “Climate Czar” John Kerry.



However, the unelected Biden official irked Uganda’s leader, Yoweri Museveni, who “could not sit and be lectured by [Kerry],” the Guardian said.



Elsewhere during the event, Bill Gates took an opportunity to promote his “climate crisis” investments.



However, rather than take one of his private jets to the third-world African nation, Gates sent what appears to be a pre-recorded video speech to be played during the summit:



“I started work on climate change over two decades ago,” Gates said.



“When I visited Africa, I saw two things.



“First was how climate is already affecting agricultural output …



“I also saw the energy shortage,” he said.



After praising the research and innovation of Africans in green energy, Gates said “Breakthrough Energy is the organization I created to help with climate mitigation.”



Breakthrough Energy’s mission is to accelerate the “unprecedented technological transformations” needed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to “Net Zero” by 2050.



It does this by supporting research and development, investing in companies that “turn green ideas into clean products,” and advocating for policies that speed innovation from lab to market.



However, two directors from the Breakthrough Institute disagree with Gates.



Breakthrough Institute was founded in 2007 by Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger.



Although it is a different organization from Breakthrough Energy, two of its funders are Breakthrough Energy and ClimateWorks Foundation.



One of which is Gates’s organization and the other is funded in part by Gates.



In a statement, the Breakthrough Institute directors said:



“No matter what advocates and policymakers say, these cheap, renewables-only scenarios remain theoretical and unproven even for wealthy countries.”



“It is even more difficult for poor countries.”



“Too often, climate advocates claim a consensus on the feasibility and affordability of 100 percent renewable power globally when such a consensus simply does not exist – certainly not among energy systems experts, when they consider real-world constraints,” the two directors said.



“Claims that it will be cheaper for African countries to use only renewable energy to grow their economies rather than a mix of fuels are unrealistic.”



Nevertheless, Gates will continue to push his green ideology.



As global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company noted, “Green energy in Africa presents significant investment opportunities.”



Gates then went on to describe to the Africa Climate Summit a conversation he claims to have had with a farmer in Kenya named “Mary.”



He talked to her about “how the new seeds and new approaches were helping her.



“She had drought-tolerant seeds that made a very big difference.



“She also had chickens that were bred so they could be more heat tolerant.”



WATCH:







“Mary” did not feature in the video footage provided by Gates, however.



Gates didn’t provide any further details about the nature of the conversation with “Mary,” nor is there any evidence that the conversation took place at all, if whether she even exists.



A 2021 article published by Scientific America describes how the mission of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) to protect agroecology in Africa is at odds with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Cornell Alliance for Science’s insistence that genetically modified seeds are healthy, productive and environmentally friendly.



The groups are also accused of attacking agroecology as economically and socially regressive.



AFSA is the largest social movement in Africa.



It represents more than 200 million farmers, fishers, pastoralists, indigenous peoples, women, consumers, and others across all but five African countries.



In 2022, AFSA published an open letter to Gates to challenge several inaccurate claims he had made in articles published by The New York Times and Associated Press.



One of Gates’s inaccuracies related to the development of climate-resilient seeds.



The seeds are already in existence, without Gates’s help, and are being developed by farmers and traded through informal seed markets.



“The [Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa] initiative, which your foundation continues to fund, has also pushed restrictive seed legislation that limits and restricts crop innovation to well-resourced labs and companies,” AFSA wrote in its letter to Gates.



“These initiatives don’t increase widespread innovation but rather contribute to the privatization and consolidation of corporate monopolies over seed development and seed markets.



“There is no shortage of practical solutions and innovations by African farmers and organizations.



“We invite you to step back and learn from those on the ground.”



Gates also claims his genetically modified chickens will “fight poverty” in Africa, as well as his more recent claim that they “fight climate change.”



However, neither claimed goals are for the benefit of Africans.



In a 2016 blog post, Gates made a case for egg production as a way to “fight poverty” and “improve nutrition” in malnourished populations.



Of course, there is a catch to Gates’s “philanthropy” because all his chickens would be “properly vaccinated.”

Eat Bugs and Live in a Pod: United Nations to Tell First-World Countries to Limit Meat Consumption in Food’s First ‘Net Zero Plan’

By Cristina Laila
Nov. 27, 2023 6:20 pm



Eat bugs and live in a pod.



The climate change zealots (Communists) are not only coming for your gas-powered vehicles, they want to destroy the cattle and farming industry under the guise of reducing carbon emissions with a ‘net zero plan.’



The United Nations’ Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) is expected to roll out its food guidance for first-world countries in an effort to reduce carbon emissions.



The message to ‘rich’ countries? Consume less meat.


The new food system is expected to be unveiled at the COP28 summit next month in Dubai.



“Nations that over-consume meat will be advised to limit their intake, while developing countries — where under-consumption of meat adds to a prevalent nutrition challenge — will need to improve their livestock farming, according to the FAO.” Bloomberg reported.



Excerpt from Bloomberg:



The world’s most-developed nations will be told to curb their excessive appetite for meat as part of the first comprehensive plan to bring the global agrifood industry into line with the Paris climate agreement.



The global food systems’ road map to 1.5C is expected to be published by the United Nations’ Food & Agriculture Organization during the COP28 summit next month. Nations that over-consume meat will be advised to limit their intake, while developing countries — where under-consumption of meat adds to a prevalent nutrition challenge — will need to improve their livestock farming, according to the FAO.



The average American consumes about 127 kilograms of meat a year compared with 7 kilograms in Nigeria and just 3 kilograms in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the FAO data. The Eat-Lancet Commission recommends people consume no more than 15.7 kilograms of meat a year.



The Rome-based UN agency, tasked with improving the agricultural sector and nutrition, is seeking to strike a balance between the climate transition and ensuring food security for the growing global population. So as well as calling for less meat consumption for the world’s well fed, the plan would also encourage farmers in developing countries to bolster productivity of their livestock and supply more sustainably.



The globalists and freaks in the left-wing media are trying to convince people to eat bugs.



Eating bugs is degrading and that’s why the elitists are pushing them as a “sustainable” source of protein for the peasants.



The globalists are pushing for commoners to eat bugs, weeds and synthetic ‘meat’ because bugs “consume fewer resources than traditional livestock.”



The World Economic Forum recently promoted the EU’s new plan to use mealworms in food in their bid to reduce meat consumption.



“Livestock around the world is responsible for around 14.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions relating to human activity. The need for land – whether for grazing animals or growing crops to feed animals – is “the single greatest driver of deforestation, with major consequences for biodiversity loss,” the paper says.

UN Demands America Set Plan to Eliminate Meat Consumption

Frank Bergman
November 28, 2023 - 12:56 pm


The United Nations (UN) is demanding that America issue a road map to eliminating meat consumption among the public.



The unelected globalist agency is due to issue its own road map for when it expects all Western nations to drastically reduce meat consumption to fight so-called “global boiling.”



The UN is expecting member states to submit plans for slashing public meat consumption before completely eliminating traditional animal-based products from the food supply.



The push is being led by the UN’s Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO), which oversees the agency’s food policies.



The FOA will publish its so-called global food systems’ road map during the upcoming COP28 climate summit in Dubai.



The event begins this Thursday and will continue for nearly two weeks until mid-December.



The FAO’s first-of-its-kind document will call on nations that “over-consume meat” to place drastic limits on their consumption.



The road map is part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to comply with the “Net Zero” goals of the UN and the World Economic Forum (WEF), Bloomberg reported.



The UN expects nations to submit their plans for restricting their citizens from consuming meat.



UN member states will be required to demonstrate how they plan to gradually reduce meat consumption over time until it is entirely eradicated.



Jeremy Coller, the chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, an investor network that works with financial institutions to promote climate-friendly agriculture worldwide, singled out the agriculture industry for “failing” to tackle the so-called “climate crisis.”



“The failure of leading meat and dairy companies to reduce emissions underlines the urgent need for more policy focus on the food and agriculture sector,” Coller said in a recent statement.



“Food system emissions deserve a place at the top of the table, alongside energy and transport, as they represent an estimated third of greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of methane,” he continued.


“Investors hope the first-ever publication of a food and agriculture road map at COP28 this month will catalyze the transition to 1.5 degrees and a more sustainable food system.”



In addition to issuing guidelines for reducing meat consumption in the West, the FAO is expected to highlight how farmers should adapt to “erratic weather” and tackle their emissions produced from food waste and use of fertilizer, according to Bloomberg.



The recommendations, which the U.S. COP28 delegation may sign onto, will not be binding.



Overall, the road map will seek to guide policy on lowering the climate impact of the global agriculture industry, which has rarely received such attention at past UN climate conferences.



=Past COP summits have been far more keen to address emissions generated from the global power, transportation, and manufacturing sectors.



“We already have solutions to tackle climate change, and many of these solutions, whether it is agroforestry, restoration of soils, sustainable livestock, or fisheries management, have multiple benefits as they can also support the sustainable use of biodiversity, as well as help with food security — multiple benefits from the same solutions that only agriculture and food systems offer,” Kaveh Zahedi, the director of the FAO Office of Climate Change, said last week.



The UN has, for years, called for individuals to ditch animal-based diets, which it says “have a high impact on our planet.”



Instead, members of the general public should instead consume plant-based foods which can allegedly reduce a person’s annual carbon footprint by up to 2.1 tons, according to the UN.



The American agriculture sector accounts for just 1.4% of global emissions and has implemented a wide range of solutions, making it the nation’s lowest-emitting economic sector.



Nevertheless, the farming industry has increasingly become a target for green agenda globalists.



“America’s farmers and ranchers are climate heroes, reducing emissions while providing abundant and affordable food, fiber, and fuel,” House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson (R-PA) said in a statement.



“Regulating producers out of business in the U.S. will not effectively address global climate change, but export production to foreign countries with hostile regimes and worse emissions profiles while harming food security and affordability,” he added.



“Simply put, the world needs American farmers and ranchers more than the UN.”



According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, U.S. farmers are getting more than three times the production compared to what they put in.



Emissions have significantly declined in pork and beef production.



In May, meanwhile, Thompson joined a group of fellow House Republicans in rebuking Democrat President Joe Biden’s “climate czar” John Kerry over his comments singling out food emissions.



They called on Biden and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to disavow the comments which were delivered at the Department of Agriculture’s AIM for Climate Summit earlier that month.



As Slay News reported, Kerry called for farmers to stop producing food to comply with the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals.



In a fearmongering speech, Kerry demonized farmers and framed the industry as an alleged threat to humanity.



“A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world,” Kerry remarked at the time.



“We can’t get to Net Zero, we don’t get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.



“So all of us understand here the depths of this mission.”



“Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way in which we do the things we’ve been doing,” he continued.



“With a growing population on the planet – we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century.”



The news comes after Slay News reported last week that Canada has now started to replace traditional meats with insect-based “food” products in order to allegedly “save the planet.”



The far-left Canadian government has been caught pumping millions of dollars in taxpayer money into plans to eliminate traditional meat for public consumption and replace it with insect-based “foods.”



As part of the plan, Canada’s WEF-controlled leadership has funneled $10 million into building the largest cricket-processing plant in the world.



The plan was exposed in leaked documents from Canada’s Ministry of Innovation.



The Ministry justified the funds by stating that crickets are a superior source of nutrition over plant-based foods and beef, chicken, and pork products.



“… Farming of insects, rather than animals, for protein uses less feed, water, and land and produces higher quality protein compared to plants,” the document states.



The ministry also indicated that the government is funding additional plans to “automate large-scale production of cricket protein” for public consumption.

King Charles Demands $5 Trillion per Year to Advance WEF’s ‘Net Zero’ Agenda

Frank Bergman
December 2, 2023 - 12:32 pm


Britain’s King Charles has demanded that taxpayers around the globe cough up $5 trillion every year in order to advance the globalist “Net Zero” agenda.



“Net Zero” is a list of unrealistic goals laid out by the World Economic Forum (WEF), with backing from the United Nations (UN), that seeks to advance a globalist collectivism agenda.



Thinly veiled as environmentalism, the unachievable goals of “Net Zero” would bankrupt society and make the public dependent on an unelected corporatocratic elite.



Yesterday, King Charles III delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of COP28.



He said that “they” needed $4.5 to $5 trillion per year to drive the transformation that’s needed because of “climate change.”



The 2023 United Nations (“UN”) Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP28) is being held over the next couple of weeks in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.



It is advertised as the “World Climate Action Summit” and is the first “Global Stocktake” to assess progress made on the Paris Agreement.



King Charles III delivered a speech at the opening ceremony on Friday.



“28 eight years ago I was most touched to be asked to speak at the opening of COP21 in Paris which of course culminated in the Paris agreement,” Charles III said at COP28.



The Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015 during the COP21 climate conference stipulates that the increase in the global average temperature is to be kept well below 2°C above “pre-industrial levels” and that efforts are pursued to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above “pre-industrial levels.”



However, as former renewable energy manager and head of the German Wildlife Foundation Fritz Vahrenholt discovered in 2017, closer inspection of the treaty text reveals that the term “pre-industrial levels” is nowhere defined in this epochal UN document.



Bjorn Lomborg is president of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre.



He is also the author of “False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet.”


In a 2017 video, Lomborg explained how much it would cost to meet the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals as laid out in the Paris Climate Agreement.



By estimates at that time, it would cost taxpayers $1 to $2 trillion per year.



Climate activists claim this unprecedented spending will “save the planet.”



However, as regular Slay News readers will be aware, the WEF, the UN, and other globalist organizations and corporate elites have no interest in saving the planet.



The plan will only make members of the general public poorer and more dependent on politicians and “environmentalists,” who will instead become richer and more powerful.



In 2015, Lomborg had already explained that the Paris Agreement, if fully implemented, would lower temperatures around the planet by 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit (oF).



One degree Celsius (oC) is the equivalent of 33.8oF.



0.05oF is so small that it cannot be measured in oC.



So why is Charles pushing forward with the climate agenda?



What he said next holds a piece of the puzzle.



The Paris Agreement, Charles III said, was “a landmark moment of hope and optimism when nations put differences to one side for the common good.”



The “common good” and the “greater good” are nefarious concepts.



They represent collectivism as opposed to individualism.



Collectivism is the foundation of left-wing politics and is woven into the fabric of socialist, communist, and fascist movements.



Essentially, collectivism is used as a tool of social control.



“I pray with all my heart that COP28 will be another critical turning point towards genuine transformational action at a time when already as scientists have been warning for so long, we are seeing alarming tipping points,” the king told the audience at COP28.



As for “tipping points,” climate change alarmists have been pontificating about tipping points for decades.



Since 2001, at least seven different climate conferences have been touted as the “last chance” to stop global warming.



All of them have been proved wrong.



Philip Stott is a professor emeritus of biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.



He is also a former editor of the Journal of Biogeography.



Stott publishes a blog site called “EnviroSpin Watch” to monitor UK media coverage of environmental issues and science.



In 2011, Stott summarized the tipping point phenomenon:



“In essence, the Earth has been given a 10-year survival warning regularly for the last fifty or so years.



“We have been serially doomed.



“Our post-modern period of climate change angst can probably be traced back to the late 1960s, if not earlier.”



“I’ve spent a large proportion of my life trying to warn of the existential threats facing us over global warming over climate change and biodiversity,” Charles III said.



“All these decades later and despite all the attention there is 30% more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than there was back then and almost 40% more.”



Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the building block of all life on Earth.



CO2, also known as “nature’s fertilizer,” has steadily been enriching Earth’s atmosphere, from 320 parts per million in 1970 to 365 parts in 2000, to more than 412 parts today.



CO2 is an elixir of life, supporting plants since the world began and making virtually all life on Earth possible.



We should be celebrating it, not demonizing it.



In 2015, Dr. Patrick Moore gave a lecture during which he said:



“Our children and our publics are taught that CO2 is a toxic pollutant that will destroy life and bring civilization to its knees.



“Tonight, I hope to turn this dangerous human-caused propaganda on its head.



“Tonight, I will demonstrate that human emissions of CO2 have already saved life on our planet from a very untimely end.”



Charles III then describes as many catastrophic effects of “climate change” as time allowed.



“The dangers are no longer distant risks. I have seen across the Commonwealth and beyond,” he claimed shamelessly listing the catastrophes “caused by climate change.”



His list included lives and livelihoods laid waste, repeated cyclones, unprecedented floods, droughts, severe wildfires, and the northern hemisphere having the “warmest average global temperatures on record.”



“We are taking the natural world outside balanced norms and limits and into dangerous uncharted territory,” Charles III said.



“We are carrying out a vast frightening experiment of changing every ecological condition all at once at a pace that far outstrips nature’s ability to cope,” he added in his fearmongering address.



The king’s plan involves bringing together “public-private philanthropic and NGOs so that they all play their part in delivering climate action,” because “public finance alone will never be sufficient.”



Charles then continues by pushing plans for a globalized “financial system” to advance his proposed agenda.



The world needs an “international financial system combined with the innovative use of risk reduction tools like first loss risk guarantees,” he said.



By doing so, Charles III said, “We could mobilize the trillions of dollars we need – in the order of four and a half to five trillion a year – to drive the transformation we need.”



WATCH:







Many may question why Charles III is demanding such extraordinary amounts of money to fight the so-called “climate crisis.”



However, it is clear that the “transformation” to the “sustainable future” Charles III speaks of is one where we own nothing and they own and control everything.



WEF founder Klaus Schwab calls this plan “The Great Reset.”

Climate Change Activists Disrupt Opera Performance in NYC – Audience Members Tell Them to Shut Up (VIDEO)

By Mike LaChance
Dec. 2, 2023 9:15 pm

Climate change activists recently disrupted the performance of an opera in New York City.



The people who do this seem to be in a competition to see who can be the most annoying human beings on the planet.



The audience didn’t react at first, but as the disruption went on, people started telling them to shut up.



FOX News reported:


Climate activists interrupt opera performance, angering audience: ‘Shut up!’



Climate activists angered opera fans at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, by standing up and screaming during an opening night performance of Tannhäuser, Thursday.



Radical climate group Extinction Rebellion, NYC, took credit for the protest on social media, and shared videos of the disruptions.



Halfway through the second act of the performance, several protesters stood up and demanded an end to fossil fuels. One man scolded the audience to “wake up” to the “climate emergency,” before unfolding a black banner that said, “No opera on a dead planet.”



“Wake up! The stream is polluted! The stream is tainted! The stream is poison! This is a climate emergency! This is a climate emergency. There will be no opera on a dead planet!” he shouted.



The first disruption was timed by the group to coincide with a character’s line in the opera, Extinction Rebellion said.

Pope Francis to COP28: Climate Has ‘Run Amok,’ Planet ‘Overheating’


THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.
2 Dec 2023

ROME — Pope Francis sent a message Saturday to the COP28 United Nations climate summit decrying the “unbridled exploitation” of the environment by first world nations.



Climate change “greatly endangers all human beings,” the pontiff said in his sternly worded address, and “time is short” to react to the current ecological crisis.



“It has now become clear that the climate change presently taking place stems from the overheating of the planet,” the pope declared, “caused chiefly by the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human activity, which in recent decades has proved unsustainable for the ecosystem.”



Due to an “inflammation of the lungs,” the pope was unable to travel personally to Dubai to read his message, so the text was read instead by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.



Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, speaks during the presentation of the book ‘Ordres et decorations du Saint-Siege’ in the Sala Regia of the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican on October 2019 (Filippo Monteforte/AFP/Getty Images).



In his address, the pope blamed capitalist greed for the failure to act more decisively to prevent climate change.



“The drive to produce and possess has become an obsession, resulting in an inordinate greed that has made the environment the object of unbridled exploitation,” he said. “The climate, run amok, is crying out to us to halt this illusion of omnipotence.”



We find ourselves facing “firm and even inflexible positions calculated to protect income and business interests,” he declared.



The pope went on to insist that “the footprint of a few nations” is “responsible for a deeply troubling ‘ecological debt’ towards many others.” Therefore, it would “only be fair to find suitable means of remitting the financial debts that burden different peoples, not least in light of the ecological debt that they are owed.”



Along with capitalist greed, the culprits behind climate change also include nationalists who refuse to get with the globalist program, Francis suggested.



“What is the way out of this? It is the one that you are pursuing in these days: the way of togetherness, multilateralism,” he stated.



It is “disturbing that global warming has been accompanied by a general cooling of multilateralism,” the pope proposed, and it is “essential to rebuild trust, which is the foundation of multilateralism.”



Climate change signals the need for political change and “a new multilateralism,” he declared.



“Let us emerge from the narrowness of self-interest and nationalism; these are approaches belonging to the past,” he urged. “Let us join in embracing an alternative vision: this will help to bring about an ecological conversion.”



COP28 should be a “turning point,” he said, leading to “a decisive acceleration of ecological transition” that must include “the elimination of fossil fuels” and transition to renewables.



“To all of you I make this heartfelt appeal: Let us choose life! Let us choose the future!” the pope said. “May we be attentive to the cry of the earth, may we hear the plea of the poor, may we be sensitive to the hopes of the young and the dreams of children!”

John Kerry Vows to ‘Accelerate Unabated Coal Phaseout Across the World’

Frank Bergman
December 4, 2023 - 12:28 pm


Democrat President Joe Biden’s unelected and unregulated “climate czar” John Kerry has vowed to “accelerate unabated coal phaseout” in every nation around the world.



Kerry, Biden’s “Special Envoy for Climate,” made the pledge on Saturday.



He declared that he plans to halt the building of coal power plants and shut down existing ones in America and “across the world” to fight “climate change.”



The former secretary of state insists that eliminating fossil fuels is key to complying with the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” goals.



Kerry made the remarks at the United Nations’ (UN) annual COP28 green agenda summit in Dubai.



“We will be working to accelerate unabated coal phase-out across the world, building stronger economies and more resilient communities,” the powerful bureaucrat said in a statement.



“The first step is to stop making the problem worse: stop building new unabated coal power plants.”



Kerry said America would be joining the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA).



PPCA is a coalition of 60 countries that promised to accelerate the phasing out of coal power plants.



Eliminating coal is one of the goals of the “New Zero” agenda that seeks to limit “global warming” to 1.5 Celsius.



The comments from Kerry echoed previous statements from Biden.



Last year, Biden declared that coal plants “all across America” will be shut down and replaced with wind and solar power.



WATCH:

According to the Department of Energy, coal currently accounts for about 20% of America’s power generation.



Meanwhile, China which dispatched its envoys to virtue signal at the COP28 summit, massively expanded its coal power plant development last year.



In a statement, Global Energy Monitor analyst Flora Champenois said:



“China continues to be the glaring exception to the ongoing global decline in coal plant development.



“The speed at which projects progressed through permitting to construction in 2022 was extraordinary, with many projects sprouting up, gaining permits, obtaining financing, and breaking ground apparently in a matter of months.”

CNN Now Floating the Idea of ‘Carbon Passports’ to Limit Travel in Order to Save the Planet

By Mike LaChance
Dec. 6, 2023 9:30 pm

CNN and some other liberal media outlets are now floating the idea of requiring ‘carbon passports’ to limit people’s travel in order to fight climate change.



Every time you think the left cannot possibly come up with a new idea that is worse than the last, they somehow manage to do it.



These are the same people who accuse Trump of being a dictator.

From CNN:



It’s time to limit how often we can travel abroad – ‘carbon passports’ may be the answer



The summer of 2023 was very significant for the travel industry. By the end of July, international tourist arrivals globally reached 84% of pre-pandemic levels. In some European countries, such as France, Denmark and Ireland, tourism demand even surpassed its pre-pandemic level.



This may be great news economically, but there’s concern that a return to the status quo is already showing dire environmental and social consequences.



The summer saw record-breaking heatwaves across many parts of the world. People were forced to flee wildfires in Greece and Hawaii, and extreme weather warnings were issued in many popular holiday destinations like Portugal, Spain and Turkey. Experts attributed these extreme conditions to climate change.



Tourism is part of the problem. The tourism sector generates around one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving the climate crisis.



The negative impacts of tourism on the environment have become so severe that some are suggesting drastic changes to our travel habits are inevitable. In a report from 2023 that analyzed the future of sustainable travel, tour operator Intrepid Travel proposed that “carbon passports” will soon become a reality if the tourism industry hopes to survive.



These people think Trump is a threat to the country?

There is nothing the left wouldn’t do in the name of fighting climate change. Your rights are not a consideration for them.

IMF Chief Calls for Public to Be Punished for Using Energy

Frank Bergman
December 7, 2023 - 12:57 pm


As part of a plan to supposedly “fight climate change,” the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has called on governments around the world to begin punishing members of the public for using energy.



IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, an unelected bureaucrat, is demanding that sovereign nations implement new carbon taxes to punish citizens for their alleged role in the so-called “climate crisis.”



Georgieva made the call during a fearmongering address at the United Nations COP28 climate summit in Dubai.



Globalists from around the world have been flying to the United Arab Emirates on private jets to attend the two-week green agenda conference.



The main topic of conversation for the summit has focused on drastically lowering the standard of living for members of the general public in order to “fight global warming.”



The efforts proposed by green agenda advocates for meeting the “Net Zero” goals of the World Economic Forum (WEF) will cost taxpayers trillions of dollars per year, as King Charles noted.



As Slay News reported, Charles is expecting taxpayers to cough up $5 trillion every year to meet the WEF’s targets.



According to IMF chief Georgieva, one way to squeeze citizens for more cash is to punish them for their “carbon footprint.”



“We are very keen to give the biggest possible incentive for decarbonization, which is putting a price on carbon,” Georgieva said at the summit.



“That price needs to go up, up, up if we are to speed up decarbonization.”



The IMF boss also tried to justify carbon taxes by saying they would raise revenues for governments.



“We are a huge proponent of carbon price,” she said.



WATCH:

However, Georgieva’s bold statement appears to indicate that only the rich will be allowed to maintain their current lifestyles if the globalists get their way on “climate change” policies.



The attendees at the summit appeared to reflect that in their hypocritical private jet use.



According to Simple Flying, the UN’s “climate change” conference, will have the highest carbon footprint in history due to the number of private jets arriving for the event, which runs from November 30 to December 12.



Unprecedented numbers of private jets have been spotted at Dubai International Airport during COP28, raising concerns about the conference’s environmental impact.



Despite the focus on sustainability, world leaders attending COP28, including the British PM, have chosen to travel on private jets, although some claim to use sustainable aviation fuel.



The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) will have history’s most significant carbon footprint. With almost 100,000 attendees, it surpassed the conference held in Egypt last year, with just 49,000 delegates.



A quick search on Flightradar24 has spotted several private jets bound for the United Arab Emirates, including a Bombardier Global 7500 from Nigeria, an Embraer Legacy 650E from Switzerland, a Gulfstream IV from Japan, and a Dassault Falcon 7X from India.



There was widespread outrage when British PM Rishi Sunak noted he would be traveling to COP28 onboard his private jet, with King Charles III and Foreign Secretary David Cameron doing likewise.



All of the top British officials travel to the event separately.



However, perhaps the most egregious climate hypocrisy was expressed by the head of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres.



As Slay News reported, Guterres gave a fear-mongering statement during the UN’s COP28 where he demanded a complete “phaseout” of fossil fuels to “save the planet” from “global boiling.”



Almost immediately after making the statement, Guterres boarded the UN’s private jet and left the same way he arrived.



Given that Dubai International Airport is one of the world’s most connected, none of the attendees have explained why they couldn’t consider commercial carriers.

The Media Is Hyping Up "Carbon Passports" To Restrict Travel
FRIDAY, DEC 08, 2023 - 03:00 PM

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,



A talking point that is now everywhere in the media is the notion that in the near future travel is highly likely to be restricted through the introduction of so called ‘carbon passports’.


Last week, CNN ran a piece created by something called ‘The Conversation,’ which had the headline “It’s time to limit how often we can travel abroad – ‘carbon passports’ may be the answer”



Within this “analysis,” readers were told that record-breaking heatwaves, wildfires and extreme weather events are being driven in part by people going on holiday.



“Tourism is part of the problem,” the piece asserts, adding “The tourism sector generates around one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving the climate crisis.”



It then goes on to suggest that the introduction of carbon passports which would see every “traveler being assigned a yearly carbon allowance that they cannot exceed,” could “ration” travel.



“This concept may seem extreme,” the writer states before telling you that it isn’t and it’s a probably a good idea because of how on the verge of collapse the environment is.



“Boiling temperatures will probably diminish the allure of traditional beach destinations,” anyway, claims the author.



This isn’t just one alarmist story languishing somewhere in the dark depths of CNN’s website, it’s everywhere:

The propaganda information, including another piece published this week by Business Insider, all cites a report written by a consultancy agency called The Future Laboratory which was released by a travel company called Intrepid.



That report states that “These allowances will manifest as passports that force people to ration their carbon in line with the global carbon budget, which is 750 billion tonnes until 2050.”



“By 2040, we can expect to see limitations imposed on the amount of travel that is permitted each year,” it continues, adding that by then “it will be unusual to see members of Generation Alpha without a carbon-footprint tracker on their smartphones. Every Uber ride, plane journey, and trip to the supermarket will be logged in their devices, noting their carbon footprint in real time.”



Sounds like a lot of fun.



Not only will you own nothing and like it, if this progresses as these ‘experts’ suggest, you won’t be able to go anywhere either.



Of course, people like Bill Gates, John Kerry and their ilk will still be allowed to constantly fly around in their private jets, because they are “the solution.”



Your one budget Easyjet flight to Malaga every couple of years is the big problem.

UN Climate Summit Serves Gourmet Burgers to Elites Demanding Public Banned from Eating Meat

Frank Bergman
December 8, 2023 - 10:16 am


Powerful globalist elites jetting to the United Nations COP28 climate summit in Dubai have been served gourmet smoked wagyu burgers and luxury BBQ while they demand that the general public is banned from eating meat to fight “global warming.”



After they arrive by private jet for the two-week conference in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), attendees are offered a wide variety of gourmet food options from vendors who serve beef.



In between battling to end the so-called “climate crisis,” the noble “eco-warriors” are treated to lavish food offerings, including “juicy beef,” “slabs of succulent meat,” smoked wagyu burgers, Philly cheesesteaks and “melt-in-your-mouth BBQ” in addition to African street BBQ, fast-casual Mexican fare, and an Asian option that has a “touch of French flair,” according to the summit’s online portal.



The revelation comes as the UN faces criticism for preparing a first-of-its-kind report that is expected to be published at the summit.



The report includes demands for governments around the world to lower public meat consumption.



Attendees at the summit, including Democrat President Joe Biden’s “Climate Czar” John Kerry, are pushing for public meat consumption to be eliminated.



As Slay News has previously reported, Kerry insists that ending meat consumption is necessary for meeting the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” goals.



The UN’s Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) will publish its first-ever global food systems roadmap during an upcoming COP28 session.



The report is expected to recommend nations that “over-consume meat” to limit their consumption as part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.



The United Nations expects nations to provide a roadmap for limiting the meat supply with a goal to end consumption entirely, as Slay News reported.



For years, the UN has been calling for individuals to ditch animal-based diets.



The unelected globalist organization insists that eating meat “has a high impact on our planet.”



“FAO emphasizes the critical need for an innovative plan and a concrete package of solutions to overhaul agrifood systems,” the UN said in a statement.

“The Global Roadmap is positioned as a strategic tool to demonstrate that accelerated climate actions can transform agrifood systems, simultaneously addressing food security and nutrition challenges today and in the future without breaching the 1.5 degrees threshold.



“In this roadmap, FAO is urging for good food for today and tomorrow.”



“The core goal is to achieve [Sustainable Development Goal 2]; Zero Hunger, while being climate-friendly, to attract climate financing for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, along with the actions required to support the achievement of 1.5 degrees (by 2050) based on country commitment, consensus, and country transition,” FAO’s statement continued.



However, despite the recommendations of the upcoming FAO report and the UN’s repeated calls for people to transition to plant and insect-based diets, roughly a third of the food vendors at COP28 provide meat options, according to the summit’s data.



The summit said that figure represented a victory as part of its commitment to deliver “environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, delicious, and nutritious food and beverage.”



In May, Sultan Al Jaber, the president-designate of COP28, said in a letter to activists that the summit would “ensure the availability of plant-based food options that are affordable, nutritious, and locally and regionally sourced, with clear emissions labeling.”



His letter came in response to repeated calls from the Food@COP climate activist group for the summit to cut back on meat options.



“We know that our food systems are intrinsically linked to the fate of our natural world, and so we have made the progressive decision to ensure that we explore how the catering provided across the event can be responsible and climate-conscious, helping to echo the emphasis we have placed on the Emirates Declaration,” Mariam Almheiri, the director of COP28’s food system program, said in October.



Among the food options offered for attendees are:



The Hungry Hub, which offers beef and meat

Philly Jawn by Ghostburger, which offers burgers and Philly cheesesteaks

Swaggers, which offers smoked ribs and smoked wagyu burgers

Mattar Farm Live Cooking, which serves “unbelievable smoked meats” and “melt-in-your-mouth BBQ”


Of course, the meats on offer are being served to the global elites attending the summit and are not meant for the taxpaying general public.



Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE), a member of the Congressional Beef Caucus, accused the UN of “hypocrisy” in a statement.



“The hypocrisy of the global elites never ceases to amaze,” Flood said.



“They’re the same ones who want working people to swear off flying at all while they get to travel to glitzy conferences on private jets to push a radical green agenda.”



“COP28 putting meat on the menu just proves that we need beef and all kinds of meat to help feed the world,” he continued.



“And that’s why I’ll keep fighting the U.N. and the global elites who are trying to kill meat production, which would only shatter the world’s food security and end an age-old way of life for millions of farmers and ranchers around the world.”



The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), which represents American beef producers, also criticized the UN ahead of the FAO’s global food systems’ road map report.



The NCBA points to the industry’s relatively low carbon footprint.



In recent years, the American agriculture industry has made unprecedented gains in lowering emissions from meat production.



In fact, U.S. farmers only contribute a fraction of global emissions, far less than China, for example.



“As delegates from around the world are preparing to gather in Dubai to identify solutions to the climate change crisis, we call on them to look at solutions holistically,” NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane said in a statement.



“Solutions that seek to reduce meat consumption are misguided and will only lead to limited consumer choice and higher food prices.”



“At a time when malnutrition plagues countries across the world, a reduction of high-quality animal protein would disproportionately impact consumers who can ill-afford to pay more and are ultimately at the highest risk of malnutrition,” Lane added.



“Reducing beef consumption in the U.S. is not a realistic or impactful solution for climate change.



“America’s beef producers and consumers around the globe deserve real solutions to the climate issue, not artificial barriers to protein consumption that will do nothing to solve the world’s climate issues.”



The global food system — which includes land-use change, actual agricultural production, packaging, and waste management — generates about 18 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, according to a March 2021 study published in the Nature Food Journal.



The figure is the equivalent of 34% of total worldwide emissions.



FAO data indicates livestock alone is responsible for around 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.



In the U.S., however, agriculture alone generates about 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions, federal data shows.



The American agriculture sector accounts for just 1.4% of global emissions and has implemented a wide range of solutions, making it the nation’s lowest-emitting economic sector.



And beef cattle in the U.S. are responsible for just 2% of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions and less than 0.5% of the world’s emissions.



Nevertheless, Kerry and his globalist allies at the UN want Americans to be banned from eating meat to “save the planet.”

King Charles Demands $5 Trillion per Year to Advance WEF’s ‘Net Zero’ Agenda

Frank Bergman
December 2, 2023 - 12:32 pm


Britain’s King Charles has demanded that taxpayers around the globe cough up $5 trillion every year in order to advance the globalist “Net Zero” agenda.



“Net Zero” is a list of unrealistic goals laid out by the World Economic Forum (WEF), with backing from the United Nations (UN), that seeks to advance a globalist collectivism agenda.



Thinly veiled as environmentalism, the unachievable goals of “Net Zero” would bankrupt society and make the public dependent on an unelected corporatocratic elite.



Yesterday, King Charles III delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of COP28.



He said that “they” needed $4.5 to $5 trillion per year to drive the transformation that’s needed because of “climate change.”



The 2023 United Nations (“UN”) Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP28) is being held over the next couple of weeks in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.



It is advertised as the “World Climate Action Summit” and is the first “Global Stocktake” to assess progress made on the Paris Agreement.



King Charles III delivered a speech at the opening ceremony on Friday.



“28 eight years ago I was most touched to be asked to speak at the opening of COP21 in Paris which of course culminated in the Paris agreement,” Charles III said at COP28.



The Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015 during the COP21 climate conference stipulates that the increase in the global average temperature is to be kept well below 2°C above “pre-industrial levels” and that efforts are pursued to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above “pre-industrial levels.”



However, as former renewable energy manager and head of the German Wildlife Foundation Fritz Vahrenholt discovered in 2017, closer inspection of the treaty text reveals that the term “pre-industrial levels” is nowhere defined in this epochal UN document.



Bjorn Lomborg is president of the Copenhagen Consensus Centre.



He is also the author of “False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet.”


In a 2017 video, Lomborg explained how much it would cost to meet the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals as laid out in the Paris Climate Agreement.



By estimates at that time, it would cost taxpayers $1 to $2 trillion per year.



Climate activists claim this unprecedented spending will “save the planet.”



However, as regular Slay News readers will be aware, the WEF, the UN, and other globalist organizations and corporate elites have no interest in saving the planet.



The plan will only make members of the general public poorer and more dependent on politicians and “environmentalists,” who will instead become richer and more powerful.



In 2015, Lomborg had already explained that the Paris Agreement, if fully implemented, would lower temperatures around the planet by 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit (oF).



One degree Celsius (oC) is the equivalent of 33.8oF.



0.05oF is so small that it cannot be measured in oC.



So why is Charles pushing forward with the climate agenda?



What he said next holds a piece of the puzzle.



The Paris Agreement, Charles III said, was “a landmark moment of hope and optimism when nations put differences to one side for the common good.”



The “common good” and the “greater good” are nefarious concepts.



They represent collectivism as opposed to individualism.



Collectivism is the foundation of left-wing politics and is woven into the fabric of socialist, communist, and fascist movements.



Essentially, collectivism is used as a tool of social control.



“I pray with all my heart that COP28 will be another critical turning point towards genuine transformational action at a time when already as scientists have been warning for so long, we are seeing alarming tipping points,” the king told the audience at COP28.



As for “tipping points,” climate change alarmists have been pontificating about tipping points for decades.



Since 2001, at least seven different climate conferences have been touted as the “last chance” to stop global warming.



All of them have been proved wrong.



Philip Stott is a professor emeritus of biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.



He is also a former editor of the Journal of Biogeography.



Stott publishes a blog site called “EnviroSpin Watch” to monitor UK media coverage of environmental issues and science.



In 2011, Stott summarized the tipping point phenomenon:



“In essence, the Earth has been given a 10-year survival warning regularly for the last fifty or so years.



“We have been serially doomed.



“Our post-modern period of climate change angst can probably be traced back to the late 1960s, if not earlier.”



“I’ve spent a large proportion of my life trying to warn of the existential threats facing us over global warming over climate change and biodiversity,” Charles III said.



“All these decades later and despite all the attention there is 30% more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than there was back then and almost 40% more.”



Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the building block of all life on Earth.



CO2, also known as “nature’s fertilizer,” has steadily been enriching Earth’s atmosphere, from 320 parts per million in 1970 to 365 parts in 2000, to more than 412 parts today.



CO2 is an elixir of life, supporting plants since the world began and making virtually all life on Earth possible.



We should be celebrating it, not demonizing it.



In 2015, Dr. Patrick Moore gave a lecture during which he said:



“Our children and our publics are taught that CO2 is a toxic pollutant that will destroy life and bring civilization to its knees.



“Tonight, I hope to turn this dangerous human-caused propaganda on its head.



“Tonight, I will demonstrate that human emissions of CO2 have already saved life on our planet from a very untimely end.”



Charles III then describes as many catastrophic effects of “climate change” as time allowed.



“The dangers are no longer distant risks. I have seen across the Commonwealth and beyond,” he claimed shamelessly listing the catastrophes “caused by climate change.”



His list included lives and livelihoods laid waste, repeated cyclones, unprecedented floods, droughts, severe wildfires, and the northern hemisphere having the “warmest average global temperatures on record.”



“We are taking the natural world outside balanced norms and limits and into dangerous uncharted territory,” Charles III said.



“We are carrying out a vast frightening experiment of changing every ecological condition all at once at a pace that far outstrips nature’s ability to cope,” he added in his fearmongering address.



The king’s plan involves bringing together “public-private philanthropic and NGOs so that they all play their part in delivering climate action,” because “public finance alone will never be sufficient.”



Charles then continues by pushing plans for a globalized “financial system” to advance his proposed agenda.



The world needs an “international financial system combined with the innovative use of risk reduction tools like first loss risk guarantees,” he said.



By doing so, Charles III said, “We could mobilize the trillions of dollars we need – in the order of four and a half to five trillion a year – to drive the transformation we need.”



WATCH:







Many may question why Charles III is demanding such extraordinary amounts of money to fight the so-called “climate crisis.”



However, it is clear that the “transformation” to the “sustainable future” Charles III speaks of is one where we own nothing and they own and control everything.



WEF founder Klaus Schwab calls this plan “The Great Reset.”

UN Demands Power to Dictate Global ‘Climate Policy’

Frank Bergman
December 10, 2023 - 12:54 pm


The United Nations is demanding powers to allow the unelected globalist organization’s scientists to dictate global “climate policy” to sovereign nations.



The calls come after scientists at the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have complained about the slow pace at which governments are c0mplying with the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” agenda.



Five lead authors of IPCC reports told the Guardian that scientists should be given the right to make policy prescriptions.



Potentially, the UN scientists will be awarded new powers to oversee the implementation of green agenda regulations by the 195 states signed up to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).



If awarded the new powers, UN scientists would be able to demand that nations around the world initiate a “phaseout” of fossil fuels to fall in line with “Net Zero.”



The UN’s demand came after it emerged that the United Arab Emirates had been planning to use its position as COP28 host to strike oil and gas deals.



Sonia Seneviratne, an IPCC Vice-Chair and coordinating lead author since 2012, said:



“At some point, we need to say that if you want to achieve this aim set by policymakers then certain policies need to be implemented.



“As climate change becomes worse and worse, it is becoming more difficult to be policy relevant without being prescriptive.”



Scientists should be able to call for fossil fuel cuts and “phaseouts,” she claims.



The discrepancy between IPCC science and action on the ground was “very difficult for us to understand as scientists because it doesn’t seem to make any sense,” she argues.



Gert-Jan Nabuurs, a coordinating lead author on three IPCC reports, said:



“The IPCC’s critical, independent and guiding roles seem to be less and less evident.


“As they decline, countries seem to be exerting a larger and larger influence.”



The problem for authors was that “we can’t be policy prescriptive, so we can’t make hard statements on what should be done”, he said.



Nabuurs questioned the value of continuing to produce assessment reports when “we already know that in five to six years’ time the message is not going to be very different, the problem will still be there, emissions will still be going up, there will be more evidence of impacts and less time to try to stay under 2°C [of heating above pre-industrial levels].”



The UN claims that greenhouse gas emissions are on track to rise by 9% by 2030.



Emissions would need to fall by 43% by the decade’s end to meet the WEF’s goal, as outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement, of capping global heating at 1.5°C.



As Slay News reported, meeting these “Net Zero” goals would cost taxpayers $75 trillion, analysis has shown.



It would also require that members of the general public drastically reduce their quality of life.



People would need to stop traveling, eat insect-based “foods” instead of meat, live in “mud huts,” surrender freedom and privacy, stop reproducing, and pay massive taxes to contribute to the “greater good” in order to meet these goals.



These rules do not apply to the global elite, however, as they are “the solution” to the “climate crisis.”

United Nations Demands End of Oil, Gas, Coal Use

Frank Bergman
December 11, 2023 - 12:38 pm


The United Nations (UN) is demanding that governments around the world sign an agreement to commit to ending the use of all fossil fuels, including oil, gas, and coal.



In a Monday announcement, UN climate negotiators confirmed they are pushing to finalize a deal at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai.



According to the announcement, the deal will trigger the beginning of the end for fossil fuels.



Flying back to Dubai on the UN’s private jet to add his voice to the negotiations, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for “maximum ambition and maximum flexibility” to reach an agreement.



Guterres is jetting back to the summit to ensure that climate negotiators can find consensus among the nearly 200 UN member countries.



“We are in a race against time,” Guterres told reporters, AFP reports.



“It’s time to go into overdrive to negotiate in good faith,” he continued after alighting from his jet before going on to join some 80,000 other attendees who have flown in from all around the world for COP28.



The conference of the elites in the lavish Dubai metropolis built by oil money is considering the first-ever call to exit oil, gas, and coal, considered by some as the main culprits in the planet’s “climate crisis.”



Neighboring Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, has led the opposition.



The OPEC cartel urging its members to vote against a phaseout of fossil fuels.



Without naming countries, Simon Stiell, the head of the UN climate body, called on all sides to remove “unnecessary tactical blockades” holding up a deal.



Guterres called on negotiators to have a “single-minded focus on tackling the root cause of the climate crisis — fossil fuel production and consumption.”



He called on the summit to recognize “the need to phase out all fossil fuels.”


This stance, however, is opposed by oil producers led by Saudi Arabia.



The summit leadership is expected to release a new draft text on Monday.



The annual Conference of the Parties, or COP, has rarely finished on schedule in its 28-year history.



However, COP28 president Sultan Al Jaber has called on countries to wrap things up on time on Tuesday.



At the beginning of the conference in late November, Al Jaber provoked outrage from globalists by blasting calls to end fossil fuels.



As Slay News reported, Al Jaber exposed the anti-fossil fuels agenda as a hoax.



“There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C,” Al Jaber declared.



He continued by warning that anti-fossil fuel policies would “take the world back into caves.”

U.N. Climate Summit Wraps Up Without Agreement to Eliminate Fossil Fuels


JOHN HAYWARD
12 Dec 2023

The unhappy COP28 climate alarmism summit in Dubai rolled into its final scheduled day on Tuesday without the crown jewel sought by hardcore activists: a worldwide agreement to phase out fossil fuels.



The United Arab Emirates (UAE), host of this year’s summit, released a draft copy of the grand finale climate agreement on Monday that did not include language calling for a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels. Instead, the draft called on all nations to reduce “consumption and production of fossil fuels” in a “just, orderly, and equitable manner.”



Climate activists erupted in fury at what they called a “weak” agreement that would not do enough to reduce carbon emissions. Many of them were already unhappy that COP28 was hosted by a fossil fuel superpower and presided over by no less than the chief executive of the UAE national oil company, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber.



Al Jaber has been an outspoken critic of the proposed fossil fuel phase-out since before the summit began.



“I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C,” Al Jaber said during an online event in November, referring to the climate goal of keeping planetary temperature increases below 1.5 degrees Centigrade above pre-industrial levels.



“Please help me, show me the roadmap for a phase-out of fossil fuel that will allow for sustainable socioeconomic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves,” he added.



No one else at the online conference was able to provide the science or sustainable development plans the sultan requested, but he emerged as the villain of the exchange in the eyes of climate activists, who were not among his biggest fans, to begin with. Al Jaber later insisted his remarks during the online event were “taken out of context” and indicated he might be willing to support a phase-out plan.



A European Union (EU) representative told the BBC on Tuesday that the draft agreement would be “unacceptable” without a fossil fuel phase-out. A representative for the Alliance of Small Island States said signing an agreement without “strong commitments on phasing out fossil fuels” would be tantamount to signing a “death certificate” for islanders.



A representative from the Biden administration said the agreement “needs to be substantially strengthened,” while the United Kingdom said it “does not go far enough.”



Reuters reported on Tuesday afternoon that COP28 participants felt the summit would go into “overtime” until a stricter agreement could be negotiated. The Emirati director of the COP28 summit, Majid Al Suwaidi, said the controversial draft released on Monday was intended to stimulate discussion.



“By releasing our first draft of the text, we got parties to come to us quickly with those red lines,” he said.



“I think there’s progress and moving in the right direction. And you know, we’re going to keep working through the night,” said the Biden administration’s climate envoy, former Sen. John Kerry.



Reuters recounted some backstage drama behind the Monday draft, which might have backed away from demanding a fossil fuel phase-out, but was historically stringent in discussing restrictions on all such fuels. Saudi Arabia and other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) reportedly pressured Al Jaber to drop the fossil fuel language entirely.



OPEC members, including OPEC+ member Russia, may yet refuse to sign any agreement that calls for a phase-out. China, the world’s heaviest carbon emitter, would probably also balk at harsh restrictions, although Chinese climate envoy Xie Zhenhua has spoken enigmatically of the idea.



Some of the developing nations that might theoretically agree to a fossil fuel ban will demand generous exemptions for themselves. Zambia’s “green economy” minister Collins Nzovu, for example, said COP28 should recognize “the full right of Africa to exploit its natural resources sustainably.”



About 80 percent of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels, so citizens of developed nations are unlikely to look favorably upon an agreement that condemns them to rolling blackouts and the end of personal transportation while Third Worlders get to pump and burn as much oil and coal as they need.



Voice of America News (VOA) on Tuesday quoted climate activists who absolutely do expect the Western world to suffer because it allegedly bears the historical burden of causing climate change with their rapacious technocratic greed:



Veteran COP observer Meena Raman of environmental activism group Friends of the Earth’s Malaysia chapter blasted industrialized nations, which caused the problem with historical emissions that stay in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. And countries like the United States, Canada and Norway are expanding oil production, she said.



“They don’t want to talk about historical responsibility but talk about keeping 1.5 alive,” Raman said. “It’s really playing to the gallery. Fossil fuel expansion is already happening in the global north.”



The climate activists and high-rolling politicians who fly into meetings like COP28 on private jets have not been very honest with the general public about the depth of the sacrifices that would be necessary to meet that 1.5C temperature goal. Phasing out fossil fuels completely, on a planetary scale, is not something the American voter was told about when the Paris Climate Accords were trumpeted to the world in 2015. In fact, the original Paris Agreement called for a 2C temperature limit because the restrictions necessary to hit 1.5C were considered extreme.



COP28 is edging closer to the truth: those “ambitious” climate goals will involve canceling a huge percentage of the world’s energy production, and there cannot be any carve-outs for developing nations, much less pollution kings like China.

Bill Gates Calls for Cows to Be Modified to Fight ‘Climate Change’

Frank Bergman
December 13, 2023 - 12:54 pm


Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is pushing plans to modify cows as part of a claimed effort to “fight climate change” by reducing the “methane emissions” from beef cattle.



Gates made the call while speaking at the third edition of the French finance ministry’s “Rendez-vous de Bercy” event in Paris.



The globalist event is held every two years to address different issues related to the French, European, and world economies.



During a panel discussion, Gates complained that no country is moving fast enough to develop and innovate renewable energy solutions to tackle the alleged “climate crisis.”



‌The third edition of “Rendez-vous de Bercy” was devoted to environmental issues and economic growth in the face of “climate change.”



Gates told the summit in Paris that nations worldwide are not advancing quickly enough to meet the goals of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” targets.



“We are behind on our short-term goals” in advancing the globalist green agenda, Gates warned.



“Rich countries owe it to the world to keep costs low for green technology,” he said.



The philanthropist sounded a more positive note when he spoke about the United Nations COP28 global climate summit, which concluded in the United Arab Emirates on December 12.



He said there was much more focus on innovation this year than at past meetings.



During his remarks at the Paris summit, Gates argued that artificial intelligence (AI) was helping the agriculture sectors in developing countries.



He claims that AI helps third-world farmers to obtain better weather forecasts and analysis of crops and climate.‌



Gates then argued that “methane emissions” from meat production are a major contributor to “climate change.”


He continued by pushing plans to manipulate cows through “breeding” to lower their “methane” output.



Gates suggested that cows could be given “some other inputs” that would presumably alter their genetic state to stop them farting and burping.



“No, I see two new very amazing approaches,” Gates said after steering the conversation to meat production.



“By improving the cow breeding, and giving them some other inputs, we can reduce their methane emissions.



“And this new prioritization of the methane work, I applaud that because, in terms of the near-term temperature increase, methane plays a very big role.”



WATCH:




rumble.com/v40mobs-now-bill-gates-wants-to-breed-the-methane-out-of-the-cows.html


This is not the first time Gates has promoted plans to target cows’ “methane emissions,” however.



In January, Gates joined a slew of billionaires investing in an Australian climate technology startup.



The company plans to disrupt the methane-emitting animal agriculture industry with a lab-grown feed additive, according to Bloomberg.



Breakthrough Energy Ventures LLC, led by the Microsoft Corp. founder, and Andrew Forrest’s Harvest Road Group took part in a $12 million Phase 2 seed funding round for Rumin8 Pty, according to a statement.



The Perth-based firm is developing a supplement for livestock made from synthetically-replicated bromoform, the active ingredient found in a red seaweed.



The company states that it is “Focused on developing and deploying the critical climate solutions our world needs to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.”

WEF Demands $3.5 Trillion per Year to ‘Decarbonize’ Earth

Frank BergmanDecember 14, 2023 - 12:57 pm


The World Economic Forum (WEF) is demanding that taxpayers around the globe pay $3.5 trillion per year in order to meet the globalist organization’s “Net Zero” goal for “decarbonizing” the planet.



The WEF insists that the staggering bill is necessary as it will fund the noble global power elite’s alleged efforts to “reach Net Zero and restore nature.”



Achieving the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals is part of the globalists’ green agenda that allegedly seeks to “save the planet” from the so-called “climate crisis.”



However, critics argue that “decarbonization” is just a euphemism for the WEF’s anti-human agenda.



Of course, the largest source of carbon dioxide on Earth is humans and human activities such as burning fossil fuels.



The average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day.



Take this number and multiply it by a global population of 8.1 billion people, breathing away for 365.25 days per year, and you get an annual CO2 output of 3.4 billion tons.



However, experts are quick to point out that this figure is meaningless since human respiration is part of a “closed loop cycle” in which our carbon dioxide output is matched by the carbon dioxide taken in by the wheat, corn, celery, and Ugli fruit that we eat.



Nevertheless, the anti-carbon agenda directly targets humans and human activities.



The answer, according to the WEF, is that members of the general public must drastically lower their quality of life while handing over vast sums of cash to the global elite.



On Wednesday, the WEF published a new whitepaper in partnership with McKinsey & Company.



According to the whitepaper, it’s time to print more money to further devalue the wealth of the common citizens, in order to pursue the apparent noble goal of “decarbonization.”



The paper titled, “The Role of Public-Private-Philanthropic Partnerships in Driving Climate and Nature Transitions.”


“The world needs up to $3.5 trillion of additional investments each year to reach Net Zero and restore nature,” the report highlights state.



The paper adds that an organization established by the WEF, called Giving to Amplify Earth Action (GAEA), is tasked with shaking down government leaders of sovereign nations for the money.



According to the whitepaper, private organizations should surrender their autonomy to governments in exchange for an endless amount of credit and a backstop of protection should their business fail in the open market.



The plan is essentially the exact governmental structure of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).



As Slay News previously reported, WEF founder Klaus Schwab has hailed the CCP as a model for governance.



Putting that $3.5 trillion in perspective, it’s almost 60 percent of the annual U.S. federal budget.



As we’ve seen with international public-private efforts, U.S. taxpayers will be the first to get shaken down in the process.



Two weeks ago, the WEF declared in another report that $13.5 trillion would be needed as soon as humanly possible to avoid a climate catastrophe.



According to the report, which was written with the help of pay-to-play “consulting” Accenture, the date for which the Earth will melt due to “global boiling” has been rolled back from 25 years ago to 2050.



In the report, the depopulation advocates stress the need for fast-tracking “decarbonization.”



The word “decarbonization” is used 91 times in the published memo.



It isn’t just the WEF that is making these calls, however.



Several powerful elites also demanded that the public cough up during the United Nations’ recent COP28 summit in Dubai.



Among those wealthy globalists was WEF member King Charles III.



The British royal is cited as one of the architects behind the WEF’s “Great Reset” agenda, alongside the organization’s founder Klaus Schwab.



As Slay News reported, Charles gave a speech at the COP28 summit earlier this month where he demanded $5 trillion a year from taxpayers to advance the WEF’s “Net Zero” agenda.



Next month, the WEF will host its Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.



This year’s event focused on tackling so-called “misinformation.”



The theme of the 2024 summit is “Rebuilding Trust.”

UN Demands Crackdown on Food Supply to ‘Fight Climate Change’

Frank Bergman
December 18, 2023 - 12:54 pm


The United Nations (UN) is demanding that governments around the world launch a coordinated crackdown on the global food supply in order to “fight climate change.”



The call was made by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).



The head of the FAO is former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official Qu Dongyu, who served as China’s vice minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.



The unelected UN is demanding that sovereign nations place strict limits on their agriculture industries, specifically meat and dairy production, to comply with the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” targets for “Agenda 2030.”



On Sunday, the FAO published a report commanding policymakers to substantially alter agricultural markets to align the global agricultural system with the WEF’s green agenda.



Despite the FAO claiming that the move seeks to “save the planet” for “the greater good,” the motivations of the organization have been called into question.



FAO chief Dongyu has been repeatedly accused of using his post at the unelected global institution to advance Beijing’s specific interests, according to Politico.



The outlet notes that Dongyu has ignored other issues, such as food shortages and hunger crises around the world, while focusing on efforts to crack down on Western nations’ agriculture industries.



“Providing healthy food for all, today and tomorrow, is crucial; as is aligning agrifood systems transformation with climate actions,” the FAO report states.



“Agrifood systems should address food security and nutrition needs, but they host a large number of actions aligned with mitigation, adaptation, and resilience objectives.



“Simultaneously, the climate agenda could mobilize climate finance to unlock the potential of these systems and drive their transformation.”



The report asserts that individuals in wealthier nations can “gain” from reduced meat consumption.



The FAO argues that reducing public meat consumption will improve citizens’ health and help them “fight climate change.”


Poorer countries, meanwhile, would allegedly benefit from increasing their protein consumption.



One way to better align agriculture with climate goals is “increasing productivity and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions per unit of product through better livestock genetics well adapted to existing and future climate conditions,” according to the report.



According to a UN insider, however, the organization’s officials are aware that Dongyu is actively pursuing China’s agenda while claiming publicly to be fighting “climate change.”



“Nobody actually takes him seriously: It’s not him; it’s China,” a former UN official reportedly told Politico of Dongyu and his relationship with CCP officials.



“I’m not convinced he would make a single decision without first checking it with the capital.”



The report urges policymakers to “change the livestock population to match not only nutritional needs but also environmental opportunities and constraints.”



The FAO insists that nations must put policies in place to shift away from large livestock animals, like cows, for meat production.



The report also calls for policy to “change consumer behavior regarding portion size and nudge towards responsible decisions by food sellers and consumers.”



Countries must also “change food and beverages taxes and subsidies to provide consumers with an economic and rational decision-making justification for change,” the FAO adds.



The FAO concludes by alleging that livestock production accounts directly for 26% of all “emissions” caused by agricultural activity.



The organization claims this figure can jump up to about 50% when considering upstream and downstream “emissions.”



In the absence of sweeping government action, the FAO estimates that global livestock production could see its “emissions” increase by 40% by 2050.



The new FAO report is the first of three papers to be released by the body.



The next two will be released at the next UN climate summits, known as COP29 and COP30, according to its text.



The COP29 report will focus on laying out regional roadmaps for transforming the global agricultural system.



The COP30 report will set out plans for specific countries, as well as systems for emissions monitoring and “accountability.”

‘Woke’ Scientists Blame Human Breathing for Climate Change

David Lindfield
December 18, 2023 - 9:43 am


A group of “woke” scientists has claimed that human breathing is contributing to “climate change.”



The globalists’ battle against the alleged “climate crisis” was always going to come down to restricting basic, essential human biological activity.



The agenda has always been a war against humanity itself.



In 2010, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates admitted as much during a Ted Talk event.



Gates’s anti-human comments were met with a cacophony of sycophantic applause from his lobotomized audience.



“The world today has 6.8 billion people,” Gates said.



“That’s headed up to about nine billion.



“Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent…



“Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year — over 26 billion tons,” Gates explained.



“And somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero…



“This equation has four factors, a little bit of multiplication…


“So you’ve got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero, and that’s going to be based on the number of people, the services each person is using on average, the energy, on average, for each service, and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy.



“So let’s look at each one of these, and see how we can get this down to zero.



“Probably, one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.”



The audience then laughs.



WATCH:





By adding the qualifier “one of those numbers” and not specifying, Gates maintained plausible deniability about exactly what he meant.



But we know what he and his transhuman colleagues meant.



According to the Daily Mail, scientists are now warning that people are causing “climate change” by merely breathing.



The new study was led by Dr. Nicholas Cowan, an atmospheric physicist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh.



The study claims the gases in air exhaled from human lungs are fueling global warming.



Methane and nitrous oxide in the air we exhale make up to 0.1 percent of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, scientists say.



And that’s not even accounting for the gas we release from burps and farts.



So-called “emissions” also come from our skin without us noticing, “woke” science warns.



“Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming,” Dr. Cowan and his team warn.



“We would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible.”



How humans are supposed to err on the side of “caution” when it comes to breathing wasn’t clear, however.

UN Pushing Food Supply Crackdown to Meet Agenda 2030 Targets

The United Nations (UN) is ramping up efforts to crack down on the global food supply to supposedly fight “climate change.”



The UN is pushing the crackdown as part of its Agenda 2030 goals.



Agenda 2030 is a plan of action devised by the UN in conjunction with fellow unelected globalist organization the World Economic Forum (WEF).



The plan lays out the targets required to achieve 17 sustainable development goals (SDG).



All UN member states, including America, adopted the goals and the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development in 2015.



Writing for The Cornwall Alliance, journalist Alex Newman said then-Secretary General of the UN Ban Ki-moon called Agenda 2030 “the global declaration of interdependence.”



“In my opinion, [it] was a direct swipe at our Declaration of Independence …



“So instead of being independent nations, we will all be now interdependent.”



Agenda 2030, he continued, “covers every element of human life, every element of the economy,” including global wealth redistribution not only within the nations but also among the nations.



The Agenda “specifically says that we need to change the way that we consume and produce goods,” he added.



Newman quoted an excerpt from this report:



“Land cannot be treated as an ordinary asset controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market.



“Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore contributing to social injustice.”


Newman said that, in his view, the UN ultimately wants to get rid of private land ownership.



“We see this all over the world.



“This is not just happening in the Netherlands.”



He thinks that a war is taking place against farmers and ranchers, especially those who are independent or those who are not part of the system.



“They want to remove small farmers, even medium farmers, from their land, and they want to bring it all under the control of these—I think there’s no other term to describe it—fascistic public-private partnerships,” he writes.

Agenda 2030 seeks to bankrupt the agriculture industry by targeting farmers with unaffordable regulations on small farms worldwide.



In addition to destroying the fossil fuel industry, Agenda 2030 is killing farming as mega-corporations take them over.



They know if you control the food supply, you control the people.



While they destroy agriculture, the UN claims in Sustainable Goal 2 that they want zero hunger.



What they want is totalitarian control.

They create imaginary problems and then imaginary solutions for the problems they created.
