The U.S. has formally notified the UN that it is withdrawing from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
According to the UN, the U.S. will officially be out of the UNFCCC on February 27, 2027. A withdrawal takes effect one year after the UN’s receipt of the notification of withdrawal (which in this case was February 27, 2026) or on a later date specified in the notification.
Here’s the document filed:
Now the wailing will commence.
Just a reminder of how effective the UNFCCC has been:
Even if the door hits us in the a$$ on the way out … I am still good with that ultimate result.
Good start, now keep going. The UN has built itself into a bloated bureaucracy of opinion in matters far removed from its’ mission. One person’s thoughts:
https://granitegrok.com/right-rally/2026/03/morning-update-no-more-un
I believe president Trump is incrementally replacing UN bureaucracies with different ones like the Board of Peace.
I would like to see the whole UN building turned into offices for viable companies or condos.
(Elderly Russian agents clustered around the speaker for the listening device planted in the new condo occupied by a pair of NYC trust fund kids feeling “randy”.)
I remember an old joke, a pair of businessmen were visiting Moscow for some kind of negotiations during the old Soviet Union days.
Coming out of the toilet, one of them complains about running out of toilet paper.
The other motions the first to be quiet, then declares loudly, “Under capitalism, hotels would never let guests run out of toilet paper.”
5 minutes later a maid shows up with a couple of rolls of toilet paper.
It’s NYC. How to get an eviction notice?
California is trying to evict most of its billionaires [after fleecing them first —
of course!]
I think there’s a contract that gives the UN ownership for perpetuity. I don’t know how the real estate taxes work for them.
I think that if we were to lose access to electricity and water, they might abandon the site. The UN could put up windmills and solar panels to let them live like they want the plebes to live.
They could bring in their own bottled water with a gallon reserved for flushing the toilets. Inspectors could then be brought in to condemn the buildings and get taken over by eminent domain.
Good, because all one has to do is scrutinize the charts above for further proof that all these treaties, conferences and agreements are having essentially no effect on combating what was a non-problem from the outset. Then when we examine the numbers further, we’re reminded that few countries are renouncing fossil use or their exports anyway. Canada is a typical example because the government keeps babbling away about its efforts to reach Net Zero; then when its emissions reduction numbers are revealed, we find it’s nowhere coming close to its targets. Next it reveals its hypocrisy by announcing it will sell as much coal, oil and natural gas to whomever is willing to buy them. This is a very good idea because it might offset general energy costs to consumers for the taxes they have to pay to provide subsidies for EVs that few people are buying, but what it does to reduce global emissions is anyone’s guess. Furthermore Canadians couldn’t care less about any of these reductions because past experience has show them that efforts to do so just raise taxes and living expenses. So if the rest of the world wants to be realistic, it should follow the US example, pull out of the UNFCCC formally and let the remainder of the structure come crashing down once and for all.
Could it even be that all these conferences etc are the cause, not the solution, There seems to be a correlation…
Well correlation proves aliens cause global warming so maybe

Thanks Dr Roy Spencer:
“My hypothesis is that the extraterrestrials’ spaceships have some sort of powerful heat generators which are dumping energy into the ocean. Maybe an antigravity-based thermogenic flux capacitor technology (that’s just a guess. I’m only a rocket scientist, not a nuclear physicist or movie star).”
Made my morning.
Does that mean the end of free drinks with the little parasols at beach resorts or less clear cutting of trees to build roads from upgraded airports to the mass meeting venues? Just wondered how the clown car budgets will be trimmed for the show of shows events.
You left out the “social activities” after hours and the extravagant meals and lodging.
The MSM ain’t talking about this. Not surprised.
Someone decided they can’t stop it? Climate change seems to have turned into an unmentionable until after midterms. But what if they lose? I hope the Veep has a clean record, there are probably focus groups planning on how to ruin his reputation in many glass buildings. They must be thinking – 2028 is so far away.
Can we get a list now of all their Swiss property and beach villas?
POTUS Trump attacking religious zealotry across the globe – radical jihadists in Iran and radical Climate botherers in his own back yard.
I doubt there will ever be a repeat of the degree of torture physics has endured in the name of Climate Change™.
I hope. But the doubt is valid.
Climate is the excuse; global governance is the goal. Good thing, too. Democracy is so last century. We need a nice group of technocrats running the world getting things firmly under control and on the right track. It’s like global government, but through the back door and sorta voluntary. Should pull out completely from the UN.
Unelected technocrats
and socialists, too.
This article shows just how effective the UNFCCC has been. Unfortunately, the true effectiveness of the UNFCCC is shown in the fact that the article ignores what is the true success of the UN. The conclusion is faulty because it shows that the effectiveness measures are measuring the wrong things. One source, the “Carbon Brief,” credits* the UNFCCC with extracting ~$500B in just seven years, between 2016 – 2022. THAT’S the measure of effectiveness that is the most significant to the UN. I cannot begin to estimate, even guesstimate, how much of those billions were extracted to fund the lifestyle and pad the accounts of the unaccountable bureaucrats at the UN and all of its multifarious agencies. But I can state with confidence that it was far more than ever will be known, and that it will continue for as long as the UN gets away with the apparently permanent scam it runs on all of its 193 members.
And note that there never has been an INDEPENDENT audit of UN finances, only those conducted within its organization (at least, none that I could find). Going back to 1949, every audit has been conducted by “independent internal” UN auditors. Oxymoron, anyone?

Re: “Oxymoron“. Actually there is one which is called The Panel of External Auditors of the United Nations, the Specialized Agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency. From time to time they produce reports (the latest one was released in 2020) that normally state that the auditee’s action has “in all significant respects, been in accordance with the Financial Regulations and Rules of the United Nations”. You will say: “This is nonsense”. Yes, it is nonsense, but adequate to the system as a whole. Thank you.
Unless you meant your comment to sarcasm, I’m not sure how you determine that this Panel is an independent agency when it’s established by and operates within the UN. According to their own page on the UN website (Note: Thnx! for the link),
“The Panel of External Auditors of the United Nations, the Specialized Agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency was established by the General Assembly Resolution 1438 (XIV) of 5 December 1959. It is made up of: (a) the members of the United Nations Board of Auditors; and (b) the external auditors of the Specialized Agencies of the United Nations and of the International Atomic Energy Agency.”
The relationship described doesn’t read “independent” to me. The fact that all their reports detect no issues in the way the UN spends its money – and, as just one example, knowing they found no problem with the way the ‘unbiased’ UNRWA supported Hamas – engenders zero confidence in their accuracy of evaluation and reporting.
Yes, it’s sarcasm. Thank you for pointing the UNRWA case out. Very important!
Awesome. Now let’s hope that that POTUS stays GOP for a few cycles so that some dimwitocrat doesn’t rejoin this scam organization.
Oh thank goodness.
Is that the last supper?
Effective? Of course. Look at:
Rio (1992)
COP2 (1992)
COP5 (1999)
COP6 (2000)
COP10 (2004)
COP14 (2008)
COP17 (2011)
COP23 (2017)
COP24 (2018)
COP26 (2021)
COP30 (2025)
Each of those resulted in a lower temperature!
Well 10 out of 32 ain’t bad.

Democrats will no doubt rejoin when (if) re-elected, but will that take a year, or is the join process expedited, and the departure process delayed?
