Doctors dance at COP30 to demand a fossil fuel phase-out

Associated Press

A group of Canadian doctors danced to hip-hop at the U.N. climate talks in Brazil, calling for a global phase-out of fossil fuels. They say clean energy isn’t just a climate issue, it’s a public health one.

30, 40, and 50-year-old children who grew up in a safe, guaranteed suburban environment, never had a dirty job, and think that all white people grew up the way they did. They surround themselves with mirrors.

The stupidity of these people is awesome and they must have learned it so well because they are leftists and ignorant.

I think you’ll find the stupidity is across the political spectrum.
I know several staunch right-wingers who’ve drunk the Kool-Aid (including 2 doctors).

Repeating a lie enough times, the way the Left does, will convince a lot of people the lie is the truth.

Every one of our societal Voices of Authority puts out the same climate change lies, so it is no surprise that even some on the Right believe the lies.

This is what happens when University tells you what to think instead of teaches you how to think.

So, they think it is ok to push the local toxic health issues from extractions to Indonesia, Congo, etc., etc. (starts at 14 seconds in.)

“It’s ok as long as it’s not in my ‘hood.”

Story tip The 9 Trillion Net Zero for Australia was taken out of context, should only be 300 Billion

After all, foreign investors will make up the difference.

Considering who they’ve been electing, they’re beyond help.

Lead by example, dancing docs. No more petrol cars for you. No public transportation, air travel, cruises, vacations. Also nothing made from petroleum products or manufactured with power from fossil fuels. No mobile devices, microwave ovens, appliances, fabrics, toilet paper, prepackaged food of any kind, or anything wrapped in plastic. And no syringes, antibiotics, intravenous bags or lines, stethoscopes, surgical instruments, medical equipment. You might have to take up a new profession foraging for your food in the forest. If you don’t get arrested for violating fish and game laws. Good luck!

Nothing adds gravitas to a serious issue like interpretive dance. It’s so clear now.

I wonder if these ridiculously stupid “people?” have any idea just how much they are mocking their own anti-CO2 cult religion !!

Are they deliberately TRYING to look like complete morons ???

Cultural collapse happens in a variety of ways. One way, which happened with the former Soviet Union, is that the managerial and governing elite stop believing in the guiding myths of the culture.

Another way, which happened to Rome and which is happening now to the West, is when the managerial and governing elite and their children descend into frivolous irresponsibility. They occupy important positions, in office but not governing, but the only things on their mind are waves of personal feelings about issues.

You can see this every weekend in the UK – the country is in a social, fiscal and political mess, with armed forces in disarray, the prospect of a financial crisis approaching rapidly, a government frozen in the headlights by splits on every significant policy issue from the Budget downwards.

And what is on the mind of the graduate class in the cities? Weekly demonstrations for Hamas and agitating for trans rights and fewer restrictions on illegal immigration! And supporting a move to Net Zero in electricity generation.

Dancing at COP in support of climate action reminds one irresistibly of Russell’s remark. He says of St Augustine that at a time when the frontiers were collapsing,with all that implies, the elite of Roman intellectuals, the best and brightest, were spending their time debating the exact definition of the physical state of virginity. And similarly useless and arcane topics.

Those in the UK who are not preoccupied with this self indulgent silliness, and can, are leaving. The rest are waiting for their chance to vote for Reform and Farage. They really think that is going to be a solution. Or maybe like, the idiots demonstrating every weekend, but for a different reason, they no longer care if it is. They just want to say No.

Canadian doctors worried about excessive CO2 flew from Canada to Brazil. To dance.

Perhaps a phase out of all- but A+E ‘doctors’ would be more apposite??

Now I understand how the COVID scam and vax were so easy to get the medical profession to accept.

November 20, 2025 5:09 am

Effing embarrassing. I trully hope aliens aren’t watching. They’ll think we’re a planet of imbeciles

What’s with this new fad of dancing to protest things?

This simply confirms all of the negative comments I’ve read about Canuck medical care.
A bunch of quacks… does that make them Canadian geese?

“A transition to a clean energy environment stop local health costs from resource extraction”.

Huh?

How many oil and gas wells are in the middle of downtown Montreal?

Oh. I forgot. CO2 is a “climate pollutant.”

Sheesh.

Let’s grant their wish.
The first ban on fossil fuels should begin in Brazil with all the forms of transportation the COP30 people plan to use to return home.
(I was going to suggest someone open a “Rent-A-Bike” business but, who’d rent one without rubber tires?)

I’d like to see these doctors lay out the details of their lifestyles to show everyone to what degree they’ve eliminated fossil fuel use. They could have started by avoiding flying to Brazil for COP 30.

Tell us, Canadian Doctors, how the hell are you able to stay warm this winter without fossil fuel?

Are these the same doctors who have Jabbed millions to death and illness with their mRNA clot shots? They all need a visit to their therapists for their mental illness….
