“We reached a historic consensus to move away from fossil fuels in energy systems,” Guilbeault’s statement on the conclusion of COP28, verbatim.
And the Canadian Press version:
Guilbeault hails ‘monumental’ COP28 deal, others warn of ‘dangerous distractions’
Also:
COP28 Agreement Signals “Beginning of the End” of the Fossil Fuel Era: the verbatim press release
And the conclusion from yesterday’s op-ed:
Op-Ed: Deidra Garyk: The Impact of ESG on the Energy Sector, Part 2

And since it’s the Christmas season, and Die Hard IS a Christmas movie, here’s a little Hans Gruber. Notice any resemblance to anyone? And if you don’t think Die Hard is a Christmas movie, fight me! Yippee Kai Yay, …
My thoughts on the current situation at #COP28, and why we must deliver on a solid agreement. pic.twitter.com/Uq0U4mfabA

Hans Gruber was charming. Guilbeault is just a bitch.
RNrn
I’m making a list and I’m checking it twice.
I always thought the Hans Gruber moniker was misplaced. He’s more like the Ellis character. Oh well, they both had a premature ending in the movie. If only real life would follow suit.
That was my thought too. Also Gruber was competent and brutally efficient. Ellis was just a talker, much like Guilbeault.
I sometimes think of him as Guilbeault Baggins. He is after all just a beardy bumpkin at heart.
Dumb pepper
I read the Globe’s coverage of COP28.
It was an outstanding success! We are moving away from fossil fuels! We are setting up a fund to pay more money to cause the developing world to screw their economies by going solar and wind.
I read other coverage. The oil producers in the ME are NOT moving away from fossil fuels. The third world countries leadership will take the pot of money and put it into their Swiss bank accounts.
Winning!
That is what should be being reported.
Wonder how much of the Federal Governments Media fund is used to pay for the Globe’s reports to say what Geebo and Turdo want it to say.
Part of this effort to eliminate FF includes of course switching to flaming sparky cars. Guilbeault, his boss Trudeau and Doug Ford just pledged 10’s of billions to Volkswagen and Stellantis for their EV battery plants to be built in Ontario. But… Trudeau has also recently passed Bill S-211, which forces “Canadian businesses to report on forced labour and child labour in supply chains. It outlines the steps organizations must take to prevent and reduce the risk that operations, including those of third parties within the supply chain, make use of forced and/or child labour.” But… something like 90% of the worlds Cobalt supply needed for EV batteries comes via forced child labour in the Congo. Disconnect?
The whole climate change farce is a disconnect.
Make the world more unaffordable, steal from the productive to feed the parasite classes, triple the inefficient and unreliable “renewables” while trying to “double efficiency”…
None of this much matters. The various COP conferences since 1992 have produced a string of agreements. These agreements have produced nothing whatsoever in actual results or measurable effects. Their only purpose is to provide an opportunity for a bunch of wannabes like Guilbeault or Guterres to prance around and exclaim to the world what a wonderful thing they have done for the environment. It’s all of no more significance than Potempkin Villages.
What is interesting to note is that Justatwit did not go this year. He’s gone to all of the previous COP conferences since 2015, but not this year. There are two likely reasons for this: 1. he’s in far too much trouble in Canada to go wandering off to some party; or 2. his handler Telford suspected that this year’s COP would be a disaster and wanted to keep Justatwit from getting drenched with poo.
That’s when ministers like Guilbeault are expendable and useful.
He should be referred to as “The Gullible” because only an ignorant, unthinking, easily gulled ideologue would accept the lies being told concerning climate change.
It’s Hans’ brother Rudy whom he thought had died but had merely moved to Canada. Why rob tall buildings when you can rob a whole population?
It’s time to just point and laugh at these morons. Ignore them entirely….ignore their stupid regulations and ignore any court decisions that uphold them. Do. Not. Comply. It’s as simple as that.
No mater what kind of positive spin Deidra puts on ESG, she is rationalizing her role as a corporate compliance officer under a federal eco-fascist state in bed with global corporate watermelons (ENGOs) and banksters. She didn’t create the shit show but she willingly participates in it.
Some clarity on COP 28 and the moral cowardice of those agreeing to the net zero 2050 goal: https://alexepstein.substack.com/p/the-lesson-of-fossil-fuel-advocates?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=513601&post_id=139764505&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=l28oa&utm_medium=email
They have the power to close the refineries.
Well they can try. The blow back when the economy grinds to a halt will bring out the guillotines. Oh…and by the way, Alberta can close the refineries as well….certainly in Ontario.
There are pipelines that run from Montreal to Ontario – Ottawa being but one city – bringing fuel.
(I’ve worked a couple jobs at two of the fuel terminals in the last couple years.)
Some of it is jet fuel.
No refinery, no Juthtin travel.
This infrastructure is tremendously expensive and valuable.
Its no fuel for the dirty tax slaves, but don’t kid yourself, the Canadian Elite will not do without.
Guilbeault is insane and should be pushed off a building.
What I find it so frustrating is that Guilbeault and the rest of the climate change nuts ignore what Dr. Sultan Al- Jaber President of Cop 28 said ” There is no science out here, or no scenario out there , that says the phase out of fossil fuels is what’s going to achieve 1.5 C degree drop in temp!!!!!!
Dr. Al – Jaber added—–“it would be impossible to stop burning fossil fuels and sustain economic development unless you want to take the world back into caves”
So what does Brain dead Guilbeault do ? He ignores the Dr. and Head of Cop 28!!! WOW
The Alarmist are ignoring all science!
Guilbeault is trying to rub our noses with his current BS propaganda campaign on the loyal legacy media.
Guilbeault is a sample of what the world would look like being ruled by the hysteria pimping fascists of Green peace. The poorest countries of Africa are an example of what Canada would look like after 20 years of his dictates.
More like Venezuela. That country is floating on oil, has beautiful beaches, lot of grazing land, etc. Very high standard of living 30 years ago. It has everything going for it. It was… Ruined by Socialism.
Yes!!!
He and that entire ilk of pervert, are showing their complete and utter contempt for humanity.
Soon, their hatred will be shoved down their lying throats.
I have said this before and I’ll say it again….
China is the only country in the world that benefits from this fraud. China does nothing, its emissions have exploded and China benefits from other countries falling for the fraud buying useless wind turbines and solar panels from China. China production costs drop due to their cheap energy and the production costs in the rest of the world rise due to the expensive and unreliable “green” energy.
It’s the China equivalent of the old Khrushchev communist quip that the east would sell the west the rope with which it would hang itself.

“We reached a historic consensus to move away from fossil fuels in energy systems,”
A Great Canadian Leap Forward.
I just hope he gets my wish.
From the “comfort” of a 600 yr old pueblo built by the Moors, at 1,000m above the Mediterranean, no one here is giving up butane for heating and cooking the Christmas cheer.
Yeah there’s lots of old growth almond, fig, olive, orange and grape trees to burn, everyone does it.
And the rich absent landowners flutter in on weekends to solar panel equipped casas, for tendering of orchards or a round of game hunting.
Life is good, Russia, Saudi, USA all vie to supply Spain with “fossil fuels”, and beyond.
Canada’s Libs are bent.
Well, I guess we’ll always have Die Hard memes. It’s not like we’re going to do anything else about this.
I liked him better here:

The moment it costs them power is the moment the green scam stalls.. Either they run out of money to bribe supporters or the full scope of what they are offering comes clear.. Either way..
We made many a non binding agreements that will last as long as Turdoo is sitting on Jagmeets lap.. Boring stuff really..

The Gullible Sleezvoid is wonderful.
Rapidly leading Albertans to a consensus of their own.
We shall be moving away from Assault Style Liberals and the morons who elect them.
WEXIT.
This is the clown who pays his personal debt with Government of Canada Checks..and it is lecturing us on virtue?
I do keep wondering..
After the “investigation” cleared the Toronto City Police for murdering Rodger K,150km outside of their jurisdiction…can we send the Lethbridge Police to arrest these Dear Leaders in Ottawa?
And then hold investigations completely exonerating our agents when they “accidentally” shoot them Dear Leaders?
Just how does this jurisdiction jumping work?
I’ll have you know that, thanks to Minister Guilbeault, Canada caught more unicorn farts than anyone except Al Gore, who has a large herd of them in captivity.
Is there anything to that vile rumour about Guilbeault and Greta Turnip?
Rumour? They’re both obviously vile, no rumour about it.
