How Much Will The Climate Conference Cost US? "Stay In Poverty"

from Hector And Mike Experience - Common Sense In An Uncommon World · host Hector and Mike Experience

COP28 (The Conference of the Parties, 28th meeting) was just held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where more than 200 nations gathered to discuss climate change rules and impose goals for meeting them.  The amount of hot air from the private jet-setting, limousine riding millionaires and politicians could melt the Polar Ice cap, while costing all of us regular people more money out of pockets.  me. The impact of their impractical policies will not just impact the United States, but will have devastating impact around the globe:  The Guardian reported that "Sultan Al Jaber stated there is no science indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5C, the Guardian and the Centre for Climate Reporting can reveal. Al Jaber also said a phase-out of fossil fuels would not allow sustainable development 'unless you want to take the world back into caves.'" To complicate the matters, France 24 reported that" some representatives of African nations have said they could support a phase out deal if wealthy countries, who have long produced and used fossil fuels, agree to quit first. 'To tell Uganda to stop fossil fuels, it is really, really an insult. It's like you are telling Uganda to stay in poverty,' Uganda's energy minister Ruth Nankabirwa said." Many African countries and others around the world are worried about being left behind economically because they have low electricity access rates and are planning to develop and expand their oil and gas production.   Uganda's energy minister Ruth Nankabirwa told Reuters,  "First in, first out - and we will be happy to be the last one to exit from fossil fuels."  And finally from the Hector and Mike Experience,”How do you stop climate change if the two largest polluters on the planet – Russia and China - are not part of the deal?” https://hectorandmikeexperience.com/  https://amplify360inc.com/
