Thank You, Mr. President!
Trump’s masterclass move not to send U.S. delegation, blamed (credited) for the failure of UN climate summit COP30! POLITICO reported that the ‘U.S. absence allowed’ BRICS nations “to team up with petrostates, isolating the more green-oriented European Union and refusing to countenance even a reiteration of past deals to end fossil fuels.”
The UN COP30 failure was so spectacular that even the mainstream media could not paper over it. POLITICO cited a European government official asking: ‘What the f*ck are we even doing here?’ A great question indeed.
I have attended in-person 21 out of the past 23 international UN climate/environmental summits. I can declare that after spending a week in Brazil at COP30, it was the biggest UN climate sh*t-shows ever! President Trump chose not to send an official U.S. delegation to the UN climate summit for the first time in its history.
COP30 morphed into Clear-Cut30 as tens of thousands of acres of Amazon rainforest were cleared for the summit’s climate highway. Massive energy-intensive cruise ships served as temporary hotels for delegates, while hamburgers, chicken, and other beef products were sold out at the UN food court (why were there no insects on the menu?!), and the venue suffered from leaking and crumbling infrastructure.
