The United Nations (UN) climate summit, known as COP28, featured a Tuesday discussion on sustainable yachting.
The discussion centered on finding “a variety of technical solutions developed to make the yachting experience more responsible and sustainable,” according to its official COP28 website. The event, titled “Responsible Yachting. Today & Tomorrow,” was moderated by Nico Rosberg, a yacht-owning former race car driver, and organized by Sunreef Yacht, a company that builds custom yachts and luxury vessels.
The discussion also included “a conversation about electric, hybrid and hydrogen propulsion, battery technology, plant-based composites, bottom paints, modern photovoltaics, sustainable interior finishing, water management, energy management (and) air conditioning,” according to the event’s COP28 website.
the elites dont even pretend anymore .
like John Lurch Kerry borrowing his wifes private jet
I’m curious … was Leonardo DiCaprio attending that “green” yachting seminar? He seems to issue countless photos of himself frolicking with the ladies on yachts.
Kenji…this reminds me of the old joke about the slavemaster telling his slaves “ok men, I have good news and bad news for you……first the good news…tonight you can have all the food you want and all the wine you can drink (we will even bring in dancing girls)……now the bad news TOMORROW THE CAPTAIN WANTS TO WATERSKI!!!
You know the sad thing about this? We can read this offering on this blog and make sense of the purpose. It’s inadvertent parody. But, many on the left don’t have the intellectual tools to be able to see a fundamental problem with self-proclaimed leaders of the world spending time exclaiming to the hilltops about the coming doom, while simultaneously focusing on how they can still hold onto their pure luxury dalliances.
Then, turning around again and doing all they can to take away the most basic of needs (required for survival) from their lessers. I get it. You get it. Many on the left are incapable of getting it.
Well said, Orson.
hear hear
If you’re attending a seminar about sustainable yachting, you are the problem you are trying to solve.
It’s all about signaling virtue, not living it.
In the same vein, here’s travel guru and tour company owner Rick Steves. I guess the message can be boiled down to something like “Keep on flying…but leave your hairdryer at home.”

I bet many, including John “Ketchup” Kerry, attended the Sustainable Luxury Yachting forum.
Since the Mayor of Regina is attending this farce fest, maybe she can report on this issue when she returns – I’m sure the yachts moored on Wascana Lake will be fascinated by the session results.
Would a few dozen slaves rowing below deck make a more eco sustainable yacht?
A bit slow, but perfect for cruising the Mediterranean.
Whip them … and they’ll row faster.
I wonder what Keke thinks of this. He always impressed me as no bullshit sort of guy.
Maybe try sailing instead…
When does it become legal to start tarring and feathering these fckn assholes?
“When does it become legal …”
Not until after enough of them have been tarred and feathered.
I anticipate your next question, “How many is enough?” Nobody knows until it becomes apparent that enough is enough.
Our very own local mayoress is attending this shindig! But then again, she’s a whining social climber and a total incompetent anyway.
Aren’t we paying for a delegation of about 800 assholes to attend this clown show?
This is known as the rich person’s compromise.
Here is the official theme music of the event:
