Terror group sets out its eco credentials (presumably by taking Afghanistan back to the Middle Ages)
Taliban spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi says they want to play a global role
The terror group wants to help tackle climate change and security, he claims
The Taliban is trying to project a more modern and ‘inclusive’ image
But executions and rights crackdowns have already been reported in regime

The Taliban has vowed to tackle climate change and global security as part of the terror group’s attempt to rebrand itself and modernise despite reports of civilian executions and the erosion of women’s rights under the new Afghan regime.
Abdul Qahar Balkhi, a member of the Taliban’s Cultural Commission, says the Islamists want to play a role on the global stage.
He told Newsweek: ‘We hope not only to be recognised by regional countries but the entire world at large as the legitimate representative government of the people of Afghanistan who have gained their right of self-determination from a foreign occupation with the backing and support of an entire nation after a prolonged struggle and immense sacrifices despite all odds being stacked against our people.
‘We believe the world has a unique opportunity of rapprochement and coming together to tackle the challenges not only facing us but the entire humanity.
‘These challenges ranging from world security and climate change need the collective efforts of all, and cannot be achieved if we exclude or ignore an entire people who have been devastated by imposed wars for the past four decades.’

Laughable.
They’ll be trying to survive domestic challenges/resistance and selling out to China.
The carnage has started, there were multiple explosions outside the gates to Kabul Airport, with dead and injured, including coalition soldiers. Maybe the Taliban will fight climate change by population control? With explosives?
Planned Population, a wicked solution to relieve “burdens”, with precedent. Women, not appointed, but available, and taxable. Boys and girls, not rape-raped, but raped and sodomized to bend their knee to the consensus. That said, dreams of Kiev, Libya, Iraq 2.0 a.k.a. a prelude to premature evacuation 2021, and so on and so forth, with a forward-looking hope of the same.
“Women are for child-rearing, boys are for pleasure” is a common saying across many parts of Afghanistan. Bacha Bazi is used by the Taliban, where very young boys are used to infiltrate government and Police. Parties where Bacha’s dress as young women as dance in front of, of course, an all male audience is common.
Are you suggesting it was the Taliban themselves who carried out the attack? Maybe it was a false flag.
It wasn’t the Taliban, apparently- it was IS-K, an offshoot of IS.
one day they’re Taliban , the next al quaeda a day later they’re is-k . same thugs
China has its eyes on the Wakhan corridor that will allow them to dominate central Asia and put them at the doorstep of the Middle East. Once a highway is built they will flood the country with soldiers and destroy the Taliban’s power. IMO. Run up to Revelation 8:13-21
That’s not too far off, icisil
The Chinese don’t destroy villages in order to save them. They destroy villages to kill any opponents who might be living there.
Islamic extremists see the CCP as another total evil they must ultimately completely destroy. The only shared interest here is to remove the US and NATO, which strategic interest they share.
Beyond that its Islamic Global Revolution all the way, and only a matter of time until IS attack China.
I meant Revelation 9:13-21
It is not inconceivable that China will do just this. They have the manpower to totally overwhelm Afghanistan and the will to do so in order to get their hands on the rare earths. The day when Afghanistan was an impregnable fortress protected by the easily-defensible Khyber Pass are long gone.
They’ve already sold out to China, about a week or so ago.
Unfortunately the Biden administration will fall for it.
I am going to propose a high speed rail from Kabul to Kandahar. I can pull it off for a cool $250 billion. Think maybe the Biden administration will go for that one?
Gavin Newsom might. He needs some good publicity right about now.
You can’t afford to not spend billions for a train in Kabul.
Funny that the same people that support the catastrophic AGW theories pretty much support the Taliban as well.
How fitting. I recently referred to the “Climate Taliban”, meaning those who are trying to destroy economic well-being worldwide, lowering living standards, as well as threatening democratic principles in favor of a quasi world government, all in the name of “saving the planet”.
After successfully fighting Americans, the Taliban is now going to fight climate change.
THE PLANET IS SAVED! 🙂
Can they fix potholes in roads ??
The Taliban did not successfully fight American troops, they successfully fought Joe Biden.
Of course, Joe Biden was defeated mentally to begin with, so it wasn’t really a fight. More of a capitulation on the part of Biden.
Biden just threw away 20 years of hard work in Afghanistan like it was nothing, and ruined the lives of millions of people. The detrimental repurcussions for the Free World will be felt for a long time.
Biden is a walking, talking disaster.
I know one way they can fight climate change. They can work with China (forgone conclusion) to set up Uighur style slave camps for Afghans that helped the coalition. These slaves could be used to mine all those rare earth metals needed for EV batteries and wind mills. Environmentalists would get their EV batteries while at the same time helping enslave people who wanted freedom. Win win for them.
Sad update to my own post. There are in fact Uighurs in Afghanistan already. They must be terrified.
They are terrified from what I hear.
Is that the same as just send money? We too want to be part of the reparations scam.
That was my first thought. $$$$
The Biden Administration should immediately dispatch climate czar John Kerry to Kabul to enter into lengthy negotiations about reducing Afghanistan to net zero carbon. And if they
want to keep him, so be it.
“The cold is only Allah’s way of telling us to burn more infidels.” (stolen from Black Adder)
This is easy. Just kill your enemy with swords on horseback like in the old days. Stone those that are not of the same belief system you have. No GHG emissions at all.
Horses fart.
Horse farts are renewable.
Unicorn farts doubly so
“…about reducing Afghanistan to net zero carbon.”
Hasn’t Afghanistan already been reduced to net zero carbon?
Translation:
“We want to bring developed countries, like the United States, back to the same primitive standards of living that are experienced by the typical Afghan citizen.”
I see they have already started work on this.
They have stopped people taking flights, encouraged more clothing instead of heating (at least for women) and are actively pursuing policies that reduce the population.
In many ways they are very Green.
And for men they encourage beard growth to keep their faces warm.
A seventh century lifestyle would of course imply energy conservation, and as the greens want peasants to shiver in mud huts, the agendas of the greens and the Taliban overlap.
If they are recognized as a legitimate government, they will be bringing their 7th century lifestyle to the UN. They might like the limo rides, Michelin Star dinners and hob knobbing with the Hollywod elite. They might even get a seat on the UN Commision on the Status of Women. Now that I gotta see.
Therein lies the problem, they well might really enjoy all the goodies available to UN diplomats in NYC, and refuse to go back to their caves.
The taliban will cut climate change’s throat.
I wonder what they’ll do to Gaia.
Mother Earth will wear a burka 😉
Smart lads the Talioban. In classic fashion they use our weaknesses to defeat us. First they subsidise their military operations by selling drugs -opium and heroin to their enemies and now they buy into the climate scam to conince us to weaken ourselves further and also pay money into their climate slush fund along with a pheap oof other brutal dictatorships. I wish that we had a smartt a leadership as the taliban
Relax, you have Joe Biden.
And Kamala Harris – a worldbeating team! sarc
The Tally will appeal to “allah”, of course. Of course, there is no “allah” so nothing happens
The Taliban are playing the game, pretending to be part of modern society, and “one of us”. It is outrageously ballsy, but the Chinese have been pulling a similar stunt so, why not? They’ve got nothing to lose.
And the Dems and MSM will fall for it.
The greenies and fellow travelers love the Taliban for fighting fossil fuels.
“but the Chinese have been pulling a similar stunt”
Yes, what’s the difference? These are two groups of conmen, the Chicoms and the Taliban who are in it for the money and power.
The Taliban will probably be giving us a dollar figure for how much they need to fight climate change shortly. No doubt, they will need billions of Western dollars. That idiot, Biden, might give it to them. If he’s still in office. The Taliban better hurry their request up.
Well, a promise of safety is the best way to establish total control. And it’s pretty likely that the majority of Afghans will quickly accept the Taliban much like Americans accepted George Washington and Benjamin Franklin – or else.
The new Islamic heroes..
Come on, as the global elites are saying, give them a chance…
Taliban vow to tackle CLIMATE CHANGE
They too have crops to produce
The United States spent more than $8bn over 15 years on efforts to deprive the Taliban of their profits from Afghanistan’s opium and heroin trade, from poppy eradication to air attacks and raids on suspected labs.
That strategy failed.

Anyone who takes the wahhabists seriously probably believes in global heating, too.
They are already shutting down electricity, running water and sewage, so they are using less energy. Besides, raping children and women by fire light is their favorite pastime and burning infidels hardly creates any CO2 at all.
I suspect the Taliban is going to first address climate change by murdering Americans remaining behind and all Afghans who worked with the USA. This will implement the “fewer people” goal of climate activists.
How many climate consultants are flying in with carpet bags?
They already have climate communications consultants judging by the press release, but there is still room for climate psychologists and court jesters.
They will be flying in on magic carpets.
Advice will be shared using ZOOM conferences.
Maybe the Taliban should receive some of the ($100 Bn) Green Climate Fund money, for their efforts. (sarc)
Said the the religious zealots to the other religious zealots
But those were green executions and beatings… COP27 to be held in Kabul?
He told Newsweek. And Newsweek was daft enough to run the story.
…and there will be free health care for all and free child care and a living wage for all. Lap it up Newsweek.
That’ll be the green tip bullets come out to play.
Green dum dum bullets…..
Net zero emissions from non-believers and other other enemies of the clerics.
There will be a sermon at noon from Mullah Griff.
Today’s sermon : climate change and Taqiya
They know what to say to pony up to the climate change gravy train.
Strand American citizens, put targets on Christians’ backs, leave behind those who helped American servicemen, but hey oh that’s OK as long as you’re willing to fight a nonexistent threat of climate change.
