COP30: The After Party

Climate Cult 22 Comments

Private jets gone. Raw sewage still runs in the streets. The shiny new ‘Freedom Avenue’ is already a smugglers’ highway for illegal timber and cocaine. The 56,000 delegates partied on floating 5-star hotels, then vanished. The bill: $2 billion for a ghost convention centre and a 13 km scar through the rainforest that’s already driven deforestation alerts up 15% (INPE).

          1. For all the talk about that magical weekend or as some pundits characterized it a “beautiful phenomenon” of music, drugs, sex, and rock and roll attended mostly by affluent white teens, perhaps it’s a bad time to point out that 109 American kids lost their lives in that same 4 days half a world away in that hellscape known as Vietnam. When confronted with that uncomfortable fact the “We’re for the soldiers, not the war” canard was born.
            But yeah, the clean-up was stellar!
            As for Joni Mitchell…you can keep her, oh wait, she lives in BelAir Calif. Never mind, you have her already.
            She’s also a Laurel Canyon refugee and given her age likely knew Charles Manson quite well, so well in fact she and other rock’n’rollers from that era shut their cakeholes when police were investigating the Tate/LaBianca murders.
            Weird huh?

          4. thank you kenji for pointing out the smarminess aimed at the biggest peaceful music driven gathering in history. but jeepers, not *everyone* tidied up after, say the great right wing?

            p.s. l *still* consider myself a hippie at heart. with inordinate respect and gratitude to the vets.
            on that topic given l have above avg skill aiming firearms, around novemebr 11 lm fond of saying
            *l wish l had been born at a time to do my part at the same time lm glad because THEY did such a good job making sure l didnt have to*
            so dear pundits, do stop p*ssing on hippies,
            the WORST l heard at the time ‘get a haircut’,
            now its ‘watch out for the knife’.
            take yer pick.

            p.s. an image locked in my head, a cpl days after remembrance day, oopsie, one of the cenotaph wreaths knocked over, cant have that. . . . . . l look up theres a dear senior citizen in a bus smiling at the deed. l *KNOW* when her knitting circle gathered nxt time dissing my generation she shared the story and shut them up.

          5. 666 …

            That’s some fabulous copying of boogie Woogie piano (and lovely legs … photographed at a quite strategic angle).

            You are reminding me why I treasure Joni’s work … it’s unique. It’s hers. It’s inventive, not derivative. That’s what appeals to me in music … the pacing, the pauses, the emotion and feeling. It’s not about ripping off notes as fast as your fingers can fly.

            Nope … it’s SOUL. It’s HUMAN. God’s greatest creation on full display.

      2. Yup. Comparing COP to Woodstock is a bad analogy.
        Hippies went to Woodstock for the music
        Hucksters went to COP for the money.
        Field hippies slept outside.
        Hucksters slept on big piggy boats.
        Aside from the brown acid, most were smoking hash and making love and dancing at Woodstock.
        Aside from the green hypocrisy, most were snorting coke and making deals and virtue signaling at the COP UN cult fest.
        In short, your analogy is just, like, your opinion, man. Peace.
        Oh, I still have long hair, so there,

  2. The new highway 13km long represents at most,130 ha of lost Amazon rainforest out of 690,000,000 ha or just under 2 ten thousandths of a percent. Canada’s entire Boreal forest, by comparison is 550,000,000 ha. Could we not use the same green hysteria as the green psychopaths in the arguments against them and calling it hypocritical. The highway is likely the only real asset left behind. This poseur-fest just like all that came before is a waste of resources and an enabler of bad policy like everything else in the UN.

  5. Canada’s contingent was 633 folks. Of these, 114 were from the Federal government at a cost of $2,954,188. That comes to $25,944 a pop.
    Federal government: 114 representatives
    Provincial governments: 77
    Municipal governments & municipal groups: 12
    Indigenous organizations: 53
    Civil society organizations: 43
    Academia: 28
    Youth groups / youth delegates: 17
    Labour organizations / unions: 9
    International organizations: 8
    Private-sector participants: 254

    There were 5 additional participants who took part virtually. These 5 morons don’t know how to get aboard the gravy train!

  6. They will build a highway for themselves in the Amazon but go absolutely Ape over any proposed Highway projects in Alaska like Amber, Izembek or Astar etc
