Aha!

He should have hit up Gavin Newscum for the money. As I recall Gavin claimed he was leading the US delegation and we all know he has access to unlimited amounts of other people’s money.

What a clown he must be. Not only did he attend a complete waste of time junket in Brazil he is also complaining the tax payers didn’t pay for his jolly?
Clearly “there will be no Whitehouse in the Whitehouse” thank our lucky stars.
Well, the tax payers would pay for it one way or another, but expecting the International Community State Dept to pay? To someone in the American Professional Wrestling circus where they usually figure out how to collect on their own? For participation in a mostly discontinued sideshow which itself has entire industries of kickbacks still running?
It was rather silly even for this crowd.

I believe Sheldon misspoke. He probably meant to say “that’s how good President Trump has become “
New advances in environmental science are providing a detailed understanding of the human costs of the Trump administration’s approach to climate change.
But “climate crisis” promoters are not shy about blaming ridiculous things on “climate change.” I recently encountered a peer-reviewed paper which claimed that climate change contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). (Sams-Dodd & Sams-Dodd, 2025)
The late Prof. John Brignell used to maintain a “complete list of things [said to be] caused by global warming,” but it was so much work to try to keep it up to date that several years before his death he stopped trying. This was the last version of his list:
It actually happened in at least one case with a RTA involving a motorcyclist in 2020. It didn’t end there, hence the joke.
Whether those who have died from a car accident with COVID-19 will be counted in ONS statistics – ONS
Anyone with any faith in the ONS should think again…
The governance of the UK’s statistics system has come under fierce scrutiny as a senior MP accused top officials of leaving the former head of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to run his organisation like “a hybrid of a Medici prince and Blofeld” without challenge. The UK Statistics Authority governing board had shown no urgency in addressing problems with the output and internal running of the ONS that had developed over five years. – Financial Times.
3. Some anti-vaxers pretended that the number of Covid-19 deaths was exaggerated, because of widespread misclassification of causes of death. That is untrue.
“There was no documented case of a “man killed when he was run over by a bus” whose cause of death was listed as Covid. “
Are you blind?

Have you checked with ChatGPT? Don’t bother, I know a jester when I encounter one.
Grok: “Yes, There Were Such Cases, Though Specific Details Are Limited Due to Reporting Practices”. Grok cited CDC guidance as affecting the reporting of deaths:
April 2020 CDC FAQ for Death Certifiers
“Question: “Should COVID-19 be reported when the patient tested positive but clearly died of something else (e.g., trauma)?”
CDC answer (paraphrased in training webinars and widely circulated):“If the patient had laboratory-confirmed or presumptive COVID-19, list it in Part II (contributing conditions) even if it did not directly cause the death.”.
Note: Grok’s “such cases” do not include one explicitly of a person killed by a bus.
When I had Covid, I went to the ER literally scared to death. I never saw a bill. Covid paid the bills for the healthcare system. Insurance companies made out like bandits as few would go to the Dr for anything other than Covid. Less claims Interesting that no hospital system filed for bankruptcy during that period 🧐
But according to ChatGPT, “The IPCC identifies “modal shift” from private vehicles to public transit as one of the most effective demand-side mitigation strategies [for fighting climate change] in the transport sector (IPCC AR6 WGIII, Ch. 5 & 10).”
What’s a few lives, to save the planet, after all?
Commenter Dave Burton is one of the good guys on our side, I’ve had occasions to interact with him directly for years. He is sometimes subtle in using IPCC trash as a weapon against them, same with using other other tyrannical edicts against the tyrants out there. I can be subtle, too, by agreeing that Chat GPT is useful, but I’d have to expand on that to point out how in my Jan 2024 blog post I demonstrated how the thing is not intelligent after all, it’s little more than an aggregator of unsupportable info. I’m certain Dave would agree with me that the IPCC serves a purpose of showing just how science has been corrupted into a political agenda by the Algore mob, but also how particular IPCC bits actually can be used to undermine the eco-zealots out there who make much more extreme climate assertions than what’s actually in those IPCC bits.
He is whining about something every time I hear him speak.
He’s worthless, just like all the Radical Democrats in Washington DC.

There was nothing ‘official’ about the US representatives going to COP30. Where did they get off thinking it was even appropriate being that the US policy towards AGW is to ignore it and foreign policy is the purview of the President and those he appoints? Those that attended from the US should be censured.
I disagree. Congressmen and Senators have the same rights to go where they wish and say what they wish as other Americans. Just as we would defend the right of climate realists in Congress to attend CFACT and GWPF events, we must defend the right of climate crackpots to attend COP.
I disagree with you on this count. For a Congress person to visit a country is allowed and they often do. To represent the country on their own is not. The US delegation to the COP was there, by their own admission, to represent the US. They did not go as ‘observers’. Saying that, I was not there to witness their involvement.
Watch Hakeem Jeffries face, it looks like he wishes he was someplace else.
In contrast it was trebles all round for mad Ed Miliband – even managing to attend, return home and attend a second time.
For such a backwater as Belem rooms at £1,250 a night must be rather opulent.
Where there’s an Ed, there’s graft…
Can’t get rid of him – quite literally.
They should call him “Mr. Ed”. He sounds like a horse’s patootie.
A horse makes more sense.
My horse thinks it will very cold this winter. She usually knows.
Being in the red light district there’s a premium charge as each room comes with it’s own hooker.
Which explains why they chose Glasgow for COP #26

An impecunious Democrat Senator..? Sounds like one of Alice’s five impossible things to believe before breakfast…
That was good, I learned a new word and after looking it up, what the original five things were (-:

Is the Jabberwocky the new name for the Climate Syndicate?

It turns out that virtue signaling at a global clown show doesn’t come cheap. Who knew?

And now he is complaining about a lack of White Privilege. 😉
Among the most corrupt of the NE Dim mafia .
And the people of Rhode Island elected him.

Story Tip:
Trump’s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths — ProPublica
Attention KMart shoppers:
New advances in environmental science are providing a detailed understanding of the human costs of the Trump administration’s approach to climate change.
I’m reminded of the man who was killed when he was run over by a bus. Cause of death? Covid.
That actually never happened, strativarius. However, a lot of bus drivers died from Covid-19. Public transportation contributed greatly to the spread of the disease:

It pays to do your own critical thinking.
1. A motorcycle is not a bus, and driving a vehicle is not the same as being struck by one.
There was no documented case of a “man killed when he was run over by a bus” whose cause of death was listed as Covid.
2. There was one (1) infamous case in Florida in which a man ill with Covid died in a motorcycle accident, and Covid was was initially listed as a contributing cause for his death. However, federal (and international) guidelines say that trauma deaths should not be attributed to disease, so his death was reclassified as non-Covid-19. Here’s an article about it:
https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-information-technology/florida-covid-19-fatalities-data-included-man-who-died-in-motorcycle-accident/
3. Some anti-vaxers pretended that the number of Covid-19 deaths was exaggerated, because of widespread misclassification of causes of death. That is untrue.
“There was no documented case of a “man killed when he was run over by a bus” whose cause of death was listed as Covid. “

I don’t do AI – aka glorified exceedingly fast and sophisticated [and biased]… pattern matching.

AI tools are useful, but you have to treat them like President Reagan treated the Russians:

That’s what I did, and I included a link to IPCC AR6 WGIII chapter 10, which discusses that “modal shift.”

Politics has certainly proven that to be the case.
But thanks for the laugh. You can go your own way. The IPCC is a laughing stock.

I’m glad you and Dave agree. I suppose that’s something.
I think a guy was shot in CO and cause of death was Covid. Covid paid the bills.
Covid continues to pay bills, as in subsidies for insurance premiums. Lots of people want that to continue.
Quote from story tip: “Increasing temperatures are already killing enormous numbers of people.”
99.9999% of COP attendees are on junkets paid for Leftist NGOs or the governments. No money No travel 🙈
Or by climate industry backers.
Not sure I see the nuance. Leftist NGOs or the governments are all climate industry backers, with a few noted exceptions such as USA.

The US delegation to the COP was there, by their own admission, to represent the US. They did not go as ‘observers’. Saying that, I was not there to witness their involvement.
They may have thought they were representing the US, but the US did not send a delegation. Therefore, the US had no obligation to pay their way.

The climate grift is ALWAYS About the Benjamins.

There are days when I wish Trump had embraced that approach.
I did NOT vote for a candidate that would not pay for Sheldon Whitehouse to attend COP30.
I voted for an executive that would fly Whitehouse to Brazil … and then cancel his return airline ticket!
Trump has (slightly) disappointed me again.
Love his acronym “globe”. I bet he’s also a member of the frequent user committee for knowledge of unlimited platitudes.
If there is a writeup that goes with the headline, it does not appear for me.
Whitehouse is worth around $20 million. He could pay his own way.
Why didn’t he?
Because he won’t put his own money where his mouth is.
Send the bill to RI taxpayers and add a climate travel surcharge tax.
The tragedy here is that these jokers think they are entitled to a free ride on my dime. To hell with them pay your own way.
