Biden Missing in Action: 127 Nations Gather for Climate Change Conference
Welcome to the world of alternative realities. The big shindig of 167 world leaders are preparing to gather in Dubai to discuss climate change. The man who is heading this thing up? The head of one of the world’s biggest oil companies has been named to lead the COP28 global climate talks in Dubai. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber is currently the chief executive officer of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
He is also the minister for industry and advanced technology for the COP28 hosts, the United Arab Emirates. And he plans on wheeling and dealing big time.
So while Sultan Jaber will be wheeling and dealing, Biden will not be attending. After the last gathering and looking foolish once more, his lackeys no doubt decided to bag this one. There was a time when our energy interests would have been front and center, but we apparently defer now to the UAE.
Who will attend? Of course Kerry will put his foot in his mouth and look to be the ass that he is. Craven John Podesta who will make sure 10 for the big guy(s) and whoever is needed to fill Biden’s re-election coffers. Add National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi.
Also add some big time mayors – Bowser will do what she can to promote D.C. as a prime terrorist tourist location.
WASHINGTON – Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser is facing criticism for taking a trip to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar this week to discuss climate change and to promote D.C. as a tourist destination amid spiraling violent crimes throttling the nation’s capital.
Bowser’s office said Saturday that the mayor will depart Sunday for the Middle East “as part of the US Conference of Mayors delegation for the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference.”
She will first visit Doha, Qatar to engage with leaders on the issues of infrastructure, sports and education, as well as promote Washington, DC as a destination for investment and tourism in partnership with the DC Chamber of Commerce,” her office continued in a press release.
The trip comes after the city recorded its 249th homicide for the year, the highest number of homicides since 2003. Homicides alone have spiked by 35% so far this year when compared to the same period in 2022, police data published Nov. 22 show.
Violent crime across the board has increased by 40% this year when compared to the same time last year.
Who is not going? President Biden…The United Arab Emirates planned to use its role as the host of UN climate talks as an opportunity to strike oil and gas deals, the BBC has learned. Leaked briefing documents reveal plans to discuss fossil fuel deals with 15 nations. Our interests apparently to take a back seat and not be represented.
The documents – obtained by independent journalists at the Centre for Climate Reporting working alongside the BBC – were prepared by the UAE’s COP28 team for meetings with at least 27 foreign governments ahead of the COP28 summit, which starts on 30 November.
They included proposed “talking points”, such as one for China which says Adnoc, the UAE’s state oil company, is “willing to jointly evaluate international LNG [liquefied natural gas] opportunities” in Mozambique, Canada and Australia.
The documents suggest telling a Colombian minister that Adnoc “stands ready” to support Colombia to develop its fossil fuel resources.
There are talking points for 13 other countries, including Germany and Egypt, which suggest telling them Adnoc wants to work with their governments to develop fossil fuel projects.
The briefings show the UAE also prepared talking points on commercial opportunities for its state renewable energy company, Masdar, ahead of meetings with 20 countries, including the UK, United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil, China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Kenya.
COP28 is the UN’s latest round of global climate talks. This year it is being hosted by the UAE in Dubai and is due to be attended by 167 world leaders, including the Pope and King Charles III.
These summits are the world’s most important meetings to discuss how to tackle climate change.
- Senior White House aides suggested that Biden was busy dealing with matters like the Israel-Hamas war, per the New York Times, which first reported the news.
The big picture: Over 70,000 delegates are expected to attend COP 28, which begins on Thursday. These include Pope Francis, who on Sunday confirmed his attendance despite having a lung inflammation.
- The White House released a schedule that shows Biden will attend the National Christmas Tree lighting and host a bilateral meeting with Angola’s President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço, which will include a discussion on climate and energy.
- The only other event this week Biden is scheduled to attend is a Sunday reception for Kennedy Center honorees, including actor and comedian Billy Crystal; Bee Gees member Barry Gibb; singer Dionne Warwick; and rapper, singer, and actress Queen Latifah.
- “Although we don’t have any travel updates to share for the President at this time, the Administration looks forward to a robust and productive COP28 where Special Envoy John Kerry, National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, and Senior Advisor John Podesta, among others, will continue to build on the Administration’s historic actions to tackle the climate crisis.”
The best of the swamp.
