The Climate Realism Show – LIVE every Friday at 1 p.m. ET

Is COP30 shaping up to be the worst UN climate conference ever? The 30th Conference of the Parties is underway in the Brazilian jungle — some of which was cleared and paved to bring the private jet-set and bureaucrats into the venue. And just days in, the whole thing is already descending into chaos.

A large group of angry indigenous protesters have stormed the conference, furious that the agenda left them out. Poor planning and shoddy infrastructure have led to rain leaking through light fixtures, broken air conditioning, and even problems with something as basic as toilet paper disposal.

Maybe sensing this impending farce, at least 30 major countries — including the United States — have declined to send official government delegations. We’re only a few days in, and it’s already looking like the worst COP ever. That takes some doing.

On Episode #182 of The Climate Realism Show, we’ll break down what’s really happening at COP30 and what it reveals about the people who want to control every aspect of our lives to “save the planet.”

The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook — and jump into the live chat!

Hopefully the last.!!

But what about the sex workers? They’ll be out of work.

They’re never out of work. Their income may take a hit in hard economic times, but they are never really out of work.

After all, even without COP meetings there will still be politicians…

I doubt that. The Climate Syndicate has not yet had their Battle of the Bulge.

If these people cannot be trusted with arranging a well organized conference, why would any sane person trust them with imposing climate measures on the whole world?

I wouldn’t trust people who push wind and solar and batteries as the future of electric grids to organize an underwear drawer.

They would probably steal the underwear and wear it later. Especially if it’s for the opposite sex.

Last one believing in AGW be sure to turn out the lights. It seems to be going out with a whimper, not a roar. Either way I’m glad I’m around to see it happen. And all it took was one influential person to call out that AGW had no clothes on.

Beware of the deadenders meetings that turn violent.

As in the case of pipeline protest camp sites in the US with mountains of trash and waste, someone needs to cover the cleanup process after the grifter meeting concludes. The same goes for Portland protest sites near federal buildings.

It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people. 😉

 Belém seems to be the perfect place to move the UN Headquarters to. The 17+ acres in NYC will make a nice park.

Indigenous dance interrupted by power failure… ??????

Indigenous dances don’t use electricity, it didn’t exist in “indigenous” times.

Adelaide, Australia and somewhere in Turkey are bidding for next year’s COP.

As an Aussie, I hope Turkey wins. !!

Belem highway was proposed in 2012 but was stopped because of environmental and social concerns

It took the COP soiree to overcome these environmental and social reason.

You got it all wrong. Never mind the toilet paper, never mind the leaks. Having light fixtures at all is the summit of luxury. Ask anyone living under socialism.

Ah but parasitic socialism near major financial districts is the life.
