The elites are laughing in our faces.

Here, there, and everywhere.
COP26 is gearing up to be a grotesque spectacle. We are about to witness Versailles levels of extravagance and hypocrisy. The rich, the powerful and the full of puffed-up virtue will gather in Glasgow to pontificate to the rest of us about how much we are harming the planet with all our waste and hubris. They’ll arrive in their private jets to bemoan the scourge of air-industry emissions. They’ll tuck in to five-star meals in between wondering out loud if the little people should eat less meat.

They’ll rest their weary, virtuous heads on plump, silk pillows after long days of discussing how to rein in the material aspirations of the masses. It promises to be one of most nauseating displays of oligarchical conceit of recent times.

^ It feels like the elites are just laughing in our faces now. So the other day we had the UK’s chief scientific adviser, Patrick Vallance, saying everyone will have to eat less meat and fly less if we are going to get a handle on this climate-change thing. A little later it was reported that around 400 private jets will fly into COP26, carrying world leaders and big-business execs to the plush surrounds in which they’ll wring their manicured hands over mankind’s carbon crimes. Ordinary people are guilt-tripped for taking one poxy flight a year to escape the trials and vagaries of life in capitalist society for a couple of weeks, while those who quaff champagne on airplanes that it costs $10,000 an hour to hire out get to pose as hyper-aware defenders of poor Mother Nature.

According to one report, the private jets landing in Glasgow will spew out around 13,000 tonnes of carbon. That’s the same amount of CO2 that 1,600 Scots get through in a year.

Hypocrites...all of them.
 
This is just another political theater circle jerk that our so called leaders love to indulge in

^ And yet there’s Joe Biden in Rome for the G20 being whisked around in an 85-car convoy. His own armoured limousine, and its decoy version, generates 8.75 pounds of carbon per mile driven – 10 times more than normal cars. And greens want us to feel angry about the working-class bloke driving an HGV full of groceries and fuel? It’s insane.

And he's going to ask OPEC to increase oil production

They will just sit around as they talk about raising our tax rates around the world, cuz we all know that taxation cures all our ills, and discuss how to curb global warming when, in fact, everything they suggest will not alter it in the least.

At least, that is why we can't have nice things.

And they know what’s best for the rest of us plebs.

Joanna Lumley advocates war time rationing. Tell that to a family which relies on food banks. :cool-45:
 
Joe Biden and a third of his cabinet jetted off to Glasgow, Scotland, over the weekend to attend the latest annual gathering of elite opportunists aiming to push global socialism via climate change alarmism at this year’s COP26 summit. As usual, the message this year was like every year prior: If we don’t act now to drastically cut global carbon emissions, then we’re all doomed.

Of course, these elites continue to undermine the very message they so loudly preach, as they expend massive amounts of fossil fuel to fly to a confab in an era when the entire meeting easily could have taken place virtually. If children are forced to do school online to avoid COVID, why not these climate clowns?

Even more glaring is the fact that the world’s number one producer of carbon emissions, China, skipped the event this year. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, since these global elites have already given China a pass. They’re fine with the fact that President Xi Jinping has made it clear that China won’t even begin to act on limiting its carbon emissions until at least 2030. Wink, wink.

Meanwhile, Biden, who had high hopes of coming to Glasgow touting the passage of his Green New Deal agenda, instead limped across the Pond. So far, he has not been able to unify his own Party behind his spending agenda that includes his economy-killing “net zero” carbon emissions pipe dream.

Furthermore, despite (or perhaps because of) the increasingly shrill and hysterical warnings of the climate alarmists, Americans aren’t buying in.

Hard to believe the lefties fall for this EVERY SINGLE YEAR, isn't it?
