Australia Not Invited to a Big International Climate Summit

Scott Morrison
Aussie PM Scott Morrison Brandishes a Lump of Coal in Parliament

Guest essay by Eric Worrall

Summit organisers, the United Nations and UK PM Boris Johnson, rejected Australia’s attendance, claiming Australia’s climate action plan was “unacceptably weak”.

Australia will suffer for global climate summit snub to Morrison

By Laurence Tubiana
December 11, 2020 — 7.14am

This weekend more than 70 world leaders – from Canada to Japan to Rwanda – will gather virtually to discuss how they are laying the concrete foundations for the clean economic transition that all their policies are converging upon. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison will not be one of them.

Leaders were asked to submit ambitious new proposals to the UN, French and British governments running the Climate Action Summit. Australia’s offer – to stop using old carbon credits to make it easier to meet emission cut goals and to consider a carbon neutrality plan – was deemed by the organisers to be unacceptably weak, especially compared with the concrete commitments and plans from other leading economies.

Australia will be a notable absentee at a meeting where Britain, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, China and connections to the incoming US administration will affirm the direction of the battle against climate change. Australia is not at the table of leaders who have set a clear direction for a cleaner world where fossil fuels do not dominate, where coal is in a death spiral and oil and gas greatly diminished. This will ultimately hurt Australia’s people and economy.

Few countries are as blessed as Australia when it comes to clean energy potential. From the sun, surf and wind to the raw materials that are critical to the fifth industrial revolution, few countries can count themselves as lucky to have so many winning cards.

The summit Australia has not been invited to is the “Global Ambition Summit”.

UN chief and UK premier announce December climate summit

24 September 2020
Climate Change

With the COVID-19 pandemic having disrupted plans to hold the annual international UN climate meeting – known as the COP – this year, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom have announced that they will instead co-host a “landmark global event” on 12 December, the fifth anniversary of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.

The event is being dubbed “the sprint to Glasgow” by the UN. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the UK was slated to host this year’s COP in the Scottish City. The Summit is now scheduled to take place a year later, in November 2021.

The December event will be held amid signs that the world is off-track to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, and that a carbon-free economy is long overdue.

“The climate emergency is fully upon us, and we have no time to waste, Mr. Guterres said in a statement. “The answer to our existential crisis is swift, decisive, scaled up action and solidarity among nations”.

The aim of the event is to rally momentum and call for much greater climate action and ambition. National governments will be invited to present more ambitious and high-quality climate plans, as well as COVID recovery plans, new finance commitments and measures to limit global warming to 1.5C.

It will bring together leaders from across all levels of government, as well as the private sector and civil society, to present new measures, boosting ambition and action.

If climate action made economic sense, there would be no need for government targets and international bullying. There is no regulatory impediment to investors flocking to Australia’s “blessed” renewable energy opportunities of their own free will.

But for some reason, investors won’t touch all these amazing renewable energy opportunities unless the government guarantees their profits through mandatory climate targets, soft loans and guaranteed market share.

Bullying Australia for not embracing alleged green energy opportunities is great cover for nations which have yet to demonstrate any meaningful climate progress of their own.

The alleged climate achievements of European nations behind the big push for renewables are mostly fancy accounting and exporting carbon intensive jobs like manufacturing solar panels to China.

I expect to see a lot more climate bullying and non-achievement, if Biden is confirmed as the next US President. The main reason US emissions have fallen over the last decade is gas fracking displaced a lot of coal. But Biden is hostile to fracking.

Rwanda bothered about climate change? Well, to quote the article:
“…all these amazing renewable energy opportunities unless the government guarantees their profits through mandatory climate targets, soft loans and guaranteed market share.” The traditional role of African colonies, if they want to stay out of the International Criminal Court for unspeakable crimes against whomever, the way American, British and French politicians never get to answer for their well-publicised war crimes in Africa.
If this “climate summit” truly was a bona fide science-based event, would it not require everyone to beg Australia’s attendance?
But it is about money. Taken together with Australia’s totally jackbooted Globalist approach to the Covert-1984 scamdemic, this “snub” is probably just a stick to beat the guvvemint on the cross of public opinion as determined by opinion makers in the leading opinion forming opinionating opinion platforms.
Now we wait for Soros to sponsor ‘spontaneous riots’ in the streets of Brisbane, demanding their guvvermint “do something” about climate change.

No mandates necessary, no laws required, no new taxes need be levied, no government action needed.
There are Billions of people out there that Believe in CC. Billions that believe using Oil, Coal, and Gas are hurting the earth RIGHT???
If EVERYONE who believes that way stopped using fossil sourced energy and petrochemical derived goods, if they ALL traded in their ICE cars for new EVs, if they ALL purchased and installed Rooftop Solar at home and severed from fossil sourced grid energy, those Billions of people would cause fossil energy demand to tank and cause it’s elimination without government interference. There are BILLIONS who believe RIGHT???

“…Australia is on the other side of the world and it’s a very long jet flight, especially round trip.”

Now there’s a thought, lets gather up all the Climate Alarmists and send them on a one-way trip to the UK Climate Summit; think of all of the CO2 that would be saved and also the burden that would be lifted from the countries sending them. I’m sure Boris would not have a problem with this as he seems to get along with those people quite well. The UN could support their permanent stay in the UK with all of that Climate Money they plan on collecting from the countries with acceptable climate action plans.

But as with everything, the ignorant oaf Johnson has no idea what ‘Australia terms’ actually means. He and his band of idiots have convinced themselves that this means WTO terms alone but if you check the EU pages for trade agreements you will find there are plenty of bilateral and multilateral agreements that facilitate trade it is just that they are not a ‘Free Trade Agreement’ and registered at the WTO but an agreement that facilitates trade is obviously a ‘trade agreement’.

I would normally view this article as a sense of pride that Australia is not worthy to be considered in discussions of future climate commitments or targets. But what you have to realise that not only are we one of the very few countries meeting their emissions targets we have one of the highest per capita
take up of rooftop solar in the world.
The real problem is that whatever we do is not enough for the Greenies and by meeting these arbitrary commitments emboldens them to demand more. If Biden is confirmed as President the next 4 years are going to be very difficult.

Our ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) won’t ever let up on the propaganda. There is now no point at all in Australia staying in the Paris agreement, but Scott Morrison is it seems incapable of doing any thing sensible on climate policy. Instead of tying himself in knots to try to keep being seen as being in the club while avoiding the worst of it, he should just join the USA out of the club.

“…Scott Morrison is it seems incapable of doing any thing sensible on climate policy…”
And what, exactly, would the “sensible” thing be, sir? Which specific policy would you like the planet earth to observe, so as to make the planetary “climate” unchanged and unchangeable forever?
Do you understand what causes the seasons? Do you know why Magnetic North is not Geographic North? Do you know that difference is notated onto every serious map? DO YOU KNOW WHY?
The answers to those simple questions will give you all the understanding of “climate change” you ever need. Then you will laugh despondently with the rest of us, every time you hear “climate change doom oooohhhh!”

“Which specific policy would you like the planet earth to observe, so as to make the planetary “climate” unchanged and unchangeable forever?”

We could start by giving up the notion that CO2 needs regulation, and that humans can change the Earth’s climate by regulating CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

CO2 is responsible for accelerated growth in many organisms around planet Earth.

Fact is, they could not find any academic or government employee in Australia willing to take the risk with Covid.

Tony Abbott has been the only Australian figure to travel to the UK this year and that copped a lot of flak as it reduced the number of returning Australians by one.

They know South Australia leads the world with weather dependent power sources and they would just love to know how but no takers for the invitation so they turned it around to say they weren’t invited.

Australia is not buying enough solar panels and wind turbines from China so their proxy, the UN, are trying to make a point. China needs to arrest its increasing trade imbalance with Australia. Covid did not get near the iron ore price and it is going gang busters again.

Haven’t these dills heard of ZOOM. Who needs airplanes. The expenses for government employees in Australia is at rock bottom – all worried about catching Covid. The only people in Australia who have had Covid are some old codgers caught on cruise ships at the start, recent immigrants from sub-saharan countries who worked as casual security guards for the hotel quarantine and told to share the one face mask they had, a significant number of old people in aged care homes and their carers who caught it from security guards working double jobs as cleaners, some hospital staff who caught it from old people, a few BLM marchers who caught it from security guards marching for BLM but no government employees – they stayed home and ZOOMED.

Sadly the government expense accounts will need to wait for a vaccine to get back to something approaching the normal spend.

These people are after a lot of money from Australian taxpayers, while they offer nothing in return except more future money demands.
ScoMo, can you not finally jump the shark. to demonstrate to Australians that you see through this sham. The USA did. We think that you, as a Conservative who values free enterprise, saw through it a long time ago.

none of those states are claiming that Biden cheated. The lawsuit is about whether or not different states followed the correct procedure when changing ways people could vote. What Texas is trying to do is to get other states not to count millions of votes cast by people who were told at the time that they were doing so legally.

It is also worth noting that the Texas governor also changed the number of dropboxes allowed and the deadline for mail in voting which would be as unconstitional as any of the measures that Texas is complaining about. So clearly Texas’ votes should be thrown out as well.

I figure it is the ones that were found in the wee hours or some days after the actual vote that were all for Biden:
Georgia had an exclusive surge for Biden 6 hours in then a number of smaller exclusive surges to get him across the line:
https://1drv.ms/b/s!Aq1iAj8Yo7jNg37aTX2LmdghPn_f
Michigan found their exclusive Biden votes 12 hours in:
https://1drv.ms/b/s!Aq1iAj8Yo7jNg38P79IReFbL5SA8
Pennsylvania had a counting screw up 1 hour in as they fiddled with the vote attributor but then a number of exclusive Biden bags well into the count – often Biden increasing while Trump went backwards:
https://1drv.ms/b/s!Aq1iAj8Yo7jNhAFRTOcWzd6jFoHw
Wisconsin found their Biden exclusives around 10 hours in.
https://1drv.ms/b/s!Aq1iAj8Yo7jNhALkJqVZIb5HvZI5

If this one goes through to the keeper then the USA elections have become a farce. The woke States will remain blue and there will always be enough blue votes in enough of the other States to make them blue; unless the red side start buying and controlling the voting machines and sending out pre-printed ballots for easy mail in return that are error free.

Just do away with any form of identification. Make all ballots mail in and order boatloads of pre-printed ballots from China. Some questions may get asked when the total count exceeds the population by a billion or so. Will also take a long time to count; probably longer than 2020.

I almost made a greater fool of myself by making a post on another site at 1am US east coast time declaring Trump the easy victor. I was more than a little amazed how bags of votes exclusively for Biden were found as the hours turned into days.

“I don’t think a Biden presidency is a done deal just yet.”

Along with the 23 US States that are challenging the elecion procedures in the contested States, there are also 108 Republican legislators who have joined the lawsuit.

The U.S. Constitution lays out how elections should be carred out, with sole authority to make the election rules granted to the various State legislatures.

In the 2020 presidential election, these contested States changed their election rules but the changes were not made by the State legislators but by State election officials and judges, neither of which have the authority to change State election laws. In the case of Pennsylvania, the Democrat State Legislature were the ones that changed the election rules, but in this case. the only way to change the election rules in Pennsylvania is to change the Pennsylvania State Constituion, which takes about two years and requires that everyone in the State be notified of any pending changes before they happen. The Democrat Pennsylvania Legislature did not change the State Constitution, they merely passed laws changing the election rules, but this is not in conformity with their own constitution, or with the United States Constitution.

So, the U.S. Supreme Court needs to come in and say that these contested States all violated their own election laws, and since the Justices will not be eager to throw the election to one party or another, they will solve this problem by sending the issue back to the various State legislatures for them to remedy the situation in the way they see fit.

There is no doubt these contested States violated their own election rules. The only thing left is for the U.S. Supreme Court to confirm it.

I think the remedy should be that all votes recieved after the election day deadline should be thrown out. If that were to happen, then Trump wins, since he was ahead in all the Battleground States by tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of votes in Pennsylvania’s case, at the end of election day.

Trump has the evidence about the cheating. He has charts that show huge spikes in Biden’s votes and all these spikes came after election day in the 4am hour or about, and 90 percent of the votes went to Biden. And this pattern repeated in all the contested States. Eliminate these spikes and Trump wins. Stop counting the votes when election day is over and Trump wins.

If the U.S. Supreme Court follows the law, Trump wins.

Funny how not giving free stuff to a bunch of losers, makes one a traitor in their eyes.

Have you thrown any bombs at traitors lately?

Please give evidence that President Trump is a traitor, or are you just another Obama lackey holdover that hasn’t got over Hillary losing and have a bad case of TDS?
Congress couldn’t prove it so what makes you think you know more than they do?

Eric,
The supreme court threw out Texas’ case by a 9-0 vote. As expected.

Yes, the U.S. Supreme Court failed in their duty to protect the U.S. Constituion.

I guess Joe Biden won’t have to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with Liberals. He already has enough liberals on the Court.

The U.S. Supreme Court punted and put all our personal freedoms in jeopardy as a result.

If the other lawsuits fail, then it will be time for Republicans to RESIST, just like the Democrats did to Trump. About 80 percent of Trump voters say this election was stolen. The U.S. Supreme Court did nothing to dispel that notion.

But Republicans resisting probably won’t happen. Republicans are not nearly as ruthless as the Democrats. That’s why they are losing.

One thing to consider: Hunter Biden has been under investigation by the FBI since 2018, yet this fact was *never* leaked to the public. Do you think if Donald Trump Jr. had been under investigation since 2018, that it would remain a secret? Which just goes to show that Repubicans are not leakers even when it would benefit them to do so.

Seventeen percent of those who voted for Biden say they would not have voted for him had they known about the corruption he is involved in with China and Ukraine and others. The Leftwing Media and the Social Media censored this story and as a result gained Biden 17 percentage points in the election.

The Leftwing Media are definitely the most dangerous organization in the nation when it comes to putting our personal freedoms in jeopardy. The Democrats couldn’t have done it without them and their lies and distortions.

Joe Biden will be compromised from the moment he takes office because of his criminality. He will do the bidding of foreign nations that have already paid him fearing they will expose his crimes to the world if he does not cooperate. Every decision Biden makes will be suspect.

The U.S. Supreme Court may get another crack at it. There are other lawsuits working their way through the lower courts and when they get to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Justices won’t be able to punt the case for lack of standing like they did the Texas case.

Where does Texas go for relief now? The World Court?

–Summit organisers, the United Nations and UK PM Boris Johnson, rejected Australia’s attendance, claiming Australia’s climate action plan was “unacceptably weak”–

Which country has climate action plan which is exceptionally strong?
