  1. I’m sure no one will go even a little over budget here. Our politicians and bureaucrats are all masters of self control when it comes to spending other peoples money. 😉

  2. Scared of guns: Check.
    Scared of drugs: Check.
    Scared of lawn darts: Check.
    Scared of cigarette vending machines: Check.
    Scared of the weather: Check.

    The right only checks 4 outta 5 on the pussywillow chart.

  3. the strangest place in the world . entirely artificial . I skied there and for once in my life i could honestly say i was the best skier on the hill. i wanted to ski in shorts but they made me rent a ski suit.

  4. At Cop28 they aren’t even having the same conversation.

    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/03/back-into-caves-cop28-president-dismisses-phase-out-of-fossil-fuels

    The Arabs are talking about energy and believe we would return to the stone-age without fossil fuels (I agree) while the dip shits are talking about CO2 and how we have to get rid of it. One question for the dip shits. What energy source will replace fossil fuels? That answer should fuel their aircraft for the next COP-out.

  5. Lisa Friedman needs to learn to distinguish between science fact and science conjecture. The best part of being an engineer (as nerdy as we are) is that we are required to recognize reality and work within it. If we indulge ourselves and ignore reality, the penalties for the failing are large.

    When your data cannot predict the correct outcome, like models for man made climate change ignoring cloud cover, or not being correct ever, one must acknowledge that the hitherto aforementioned “facts” that Lisa espouse at the beginning of her ill-begotten article lean more toward an opinion, and should be labelled, out of respect for reality, as such. They lean more to propaganda and hysteria (out of respect for her gender) than factual utterances.

    2. At the bottom of Lisa’s article there is this…

      “Lisa Friedman reports on federal climate and environmental policy from Washington. She has broken multiple stories about the Trump administration’s efforts to repeal climate change regulations and limit the use of science in policymaking. More about Lisa Friedman…”

      I failed to click to read more about Lisa…

  6. Gee, if they’re in Dubai this year, why don’t they have the next Climate Crisis Whorefest in Oil Springs, Ontario or Titusville, Pennsylvania?

  7. They should hold the next COP party on Long Island NY. The guests could paraglide off the heights of Seaside Cliffs or go boating on Lake Ronkonkoma.

    1. The next one should be on Ellesmere Island, where the climate cultists can ponder the trees that used to grow in the high Arctic.

  8. I bet Quebec will be signing their 2024 oil supply agreements while they new there….. What are they 1,000,000 barrels a day? Am I wrong.

    1. Here’s Canada’s imports of crude oil and, further down the site, refined products.

      https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-markets/market-snapshots/2022/market-snapshot-crude-oil-imports-declined-in-2021-while-refined-petroleum-product-imports-rose-modestly.html

      Most oil and refined products imports come from the US.

      Quebec’s foreign oil imports are approx 150,000 bpd (2021) mostly from the US
      Quebec’s foreign refined products imports are approx 90,000 bpd from a variety of sources.

  9. Oh to be the Sheik of Araby…

    Three generations back they were all riding camels and living in tents.

    A good place to have a fake conference. In a fake country.

    I just heard the Canadian delegation is over 8oo – eight hundred. WTF???

      1. I guess either times have changed or … I may have been thinking of Bahrain. Musician friends of mine used to play there. They’d bail out to Goa once a month to have a beer or two.

  11. Let’s see … ? Last year, the planet was “boiling” according to the UN Sec. … so what will the adjective be THIS year? What’s worse than “boiling”?

  12. While everyone over there is sitting in their drum circles, you know China has a marketing booth set up to sell solar panels to the rubes (powered by their nearly 1,120 coal plants …and 243 new ones under construction).

    Between China and India you have over 25% of the entire population on the planet. And, despite the “pledges” of the “poor” nations to contribute to the “cause,” you know neither of those two countries will do anything approaching what might be requested. Instead, both countries look at these shindigs as a marketing opportunity to sell to the idiots. And the idiots don’t disappoint.

  13. 100,000 climate zealots descended on Dubai to express their concern for the planet. Uh huh. Sure impressed the hell out of me.

  15. Yup, as has been pointed out above, these meetings are never held in places like Birmingham or Winnipeg in November when hotel rates would be reasonable.

    A virtual meeting is a just a silly suggestion.

    “Canada’s COP28 delegation will include representatives from various groups, including parliamentarians representing both the House of Commons and the Senate, representatives from civil society organizations, business, labour, most provinces and territories as well as Indigenous representatives and youth. This year, two members of the Environment and Climate Change Youth Council will join Canada’s delegation to COP28, in addition to several other youth delegates.”

    Grateful taxpayers are happily sponsoring 187 folks to save the planet on our behalf. This is mercifully down from the 382 we sent to the Paris gabfest.

    Our delegation in Paris included 44 representatives from the RCMP – no info on whether horses were included. (This headcount did not include OPP or Securite du Quebec folks!) Our boys and girls in scarlet tunics alone outnumbered the total delegations from environmentally laggard two-bit countries such as the Netherlands, Greece, New Zealand, Mexico and Greece and more than half of the two hundred nations represented!

  16. So did Guilbault climb that big tower to get to his opulent room?
    oh, and the two young narrators of that Dubai tour looked like fine young demons, while showing us an amalgam of the tower of babel and sodom and gomorrah.
    Excuse any misspellings of hellish metaphorical cities.
    Going to throw up now.

  17. All I can say is get the numbers for this another ridiculous event; add it all up as fodder.

    How much did Trudeau’s orange juice cost?

    Are you kidding? 800 Canadians there spending even more money talking about nothing?

  18. You can understand indigenous interest …

    “Listen, whitey is going to destroy his own economy and blame himself for all the world’s problems.”

    “What? how can we help?”

    “Let’s say we saw this coming and are being wiped out by it even faster.”

    “By what?”

    “Warmer weather.”

    “I don’t follow you. Warmer weather? You mean like here?”

    “Yeah, apparently.”

    “No shit. When’s it coming?”

    “Dude, they say it’s here now.”
