Failed Paris Agreement architect Christiana Figueres is back, pushing a new book and telling everyone what they are doing wrong.
World’s top climate negotiator condemns Australian response to climate change
MONDAY 24 FEBRUARY 2020 6:00AM
The leader of the Paris Climate Agreement talks says she is “deeply pained” by the attitude of the Australian Government to climate change in the wake of this summer’s unprecedented bushfires.
Costa Rican diplomat Christiana Figueres became the United Nations’ top climate negotiator in 2010 and was at the helm for the historic Paris Climate Agreement in 2015.
Her task was to bring the leaders of 195 countries together to negotiate a binding agreement to stop the world warming beyond 2 degrees celsius – no easy task after the disastrous failure of the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit.
In an interview with Hack‘s Avani Dias about her new book, she hit out at the Australian Government’s response to the bushfire disaster.
“I am deeply pained by the attitude of the current Australian Government, that still after the worst disaster that has ever hit the planet, the bushfires in Australia, that this government is still denying climate change and denying the fact that there is a lot that Australia can and should be doing,” Figueres said.

Christiana, I’m sure my fellow Australians, at least those who remember who you are, will be deeply saddened to hear about your disappointment with our climate progress.
How is this “the first time”? Didn’t Comintern (founded in 1919) attempt to “change the economic development model”? What about Karl and Fred back in 1848?
Chrissy is forgetting about Joe Steel, Lenin, Mousy Dung, Polled Pot, Ho Ho Ho, Fidel, Enver, Che, Leon, etc etc?
Let’s give some credit where credit is due. Does Chrissy really think she’s the first? Hasn’t she seen all the statues? What an egotist! Or a moron …
btw, how is Red China’s economic development model doing vis her CAGW goals? Why are they her model Green economy? Will Red Bernie do any better? How and why?
Inquiring minds really don’t want to know how deranged the Left is.
It’s like looking into that deep pit of insanity and trying to stay sane yourself.
Circles of Hell thing.
A dangerous game for the rational.
These people are interchangeable… and always rebound with new posh positions.
“I am deeply pained by the attitude of the current Australian Government, that still after the worst disaster that has ever hit the planet, the bushfires in Australia, “…
The meteorite impact in 65 million BC was a bit of a doozy by all acounts as was the end of Permian extinction.
For the climate deranged like Ms Figueres, it’s all feeling and emotions.
That and a paycheck. Her high flying lifestyle and a fat UN paycheck depends on successfully pimping the climate hustle. Bringing home the bacon, year after year.
Nothing more.
Just like some folks here in the US are race hustlers and peddle race grievances to their personal wealth, Ms Figueres does so on the international stage with the climate hustle. We also have our domestic climate hustlers like McKibben, and Al Gore, who occasionally ventures abroad too. Also playing the rentseeking game via a university-based climate hustle are pseudo-science hustlers like Mann, Hayhoe, and Overpeck.
At the end of the day, the Climate Scam is nothing about actual climate, and everything about money and power.
I’m a bitch I’m a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch I can bitch
‘Cause I’m better than you
It’s the way that I move
The things that I do
Oh-oh-oh

Eight years ago I followed remarks Christiana Figueres made on a subject I am well familiar with and they were hogwash. For precisely this reason and her pushing UN narratives totally discredited her in my opinion.
If she feels that the Australian bushfires is the worst man-made disaster ever to hit the planet then where does she feel that the man made disasters of the first and second world wars fit into her muddles thinking?
The leader of the Paris Climate Agreement talks says she is “deeply pained” by the attitude of the Australian Government to climate change in the wake of this summer’s unprecedented bushfires.
This is the way Multinationals put pressure into Governments from top down the dirty job is done by the NGO from bottom to top…this is INSANE!
