How does the United Nations persuade those that they’re tremendous severe of their outrage about fossil fuels? How about flying four,000 individuals from everywhere in the world in fossil-fueled jet airplanes to remoted Salt Lake Metropolis to whine about it? Appears like plan to the United Nations paperwork, which is sponsoring a sustainability and local weather change convention this week in Salt Lake Metropolis.

The UN brags that as much as four,000 persons are prone to attend, representing extra 300 nongovernmental organizations (learn, environmental activist teams) and greater than 80 nations. There is no such thing as a compelling agenda, no compelling actions gadgets, and no anticipated significant consequence from the convention. It’s merely a possibility for leftist world activists to get collectively and specific outrage about financial freedom and the existential world local weather disruption that’s the best disaster humanity has ever confronted – surpassing Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, the Black Plague, smallpox, AIDS, and the specter of nuclear battle mixed.

Salt Lake Metropolis is an remoted, medium-sized metropolis with little nationwide or worldwide media influence. Most individuals flying to Salt Lake Metropolis for the UN convention should make at the least one or two connecting flights to get there, exacerbating their carbon footprint for the convention. Why didn’t the UN select New York or Brussels for such a convention? As a result of, foolish, UN bureaucrats get uninterested in New York and Brussels and need to go someplace actually cool and enjoyable for his or her occasions. Carbon footprint, shmarbon footprint.

Severely, now, if world warming is the best existential risk dealing with humanity, because the UN and Democratic presidential hopefuls declare, why would the UN induce four,000 individuals to carbon-bomb the environment with four,000 multi-leg, roundtrip flights to whine about it? Virtually no one (aside from us wonks right here at CFACT) actually cares or will likely be listening to the convention. Couldn’t they maintain the convention at UN amenities in New York or Brussels? Or higher but, couldn’t the convention could be held on-line for a a lot decrease carbon footprint?

The reality is, Salt Lake Metropolis is a stupendous place. There are breathtaking mountains throughout. Posh Park Metropolis is only a 20-minute drive away. Environmental leftists could even catch a glimpse of part-time close by resident Robert Redford. Holding the convention in Salt Lake Metropolis is a chance for the self-righteous environmental left to journey to a beautiful metropolis, take a pleasant trip at taxpayer or employer expense, and all of the whereas praise one another on how they actually CARE about local weather change. All whereas carbon-bombing the environment with a view to journey there.

Makes you surprise simply how existential they consider their contrived local weather disaster actually is….
