Intellectual Ammunition to fight COP 26

8 sets of talking points to understand and fight the danger of the UN Climate Conference

We are less than two weeks away from COP 26, the largest "climate conference"--aka fossil fuel elimination conference--since the Paris Climate Accords. The conference’s goal of getting aggressive near-term emissions reduction commitments is starting to fall apart as countries seek more fossil fuel during the current energy crisis.

I regard this conference and its agenda as genocidal, so I think it’s great news that it’s starting to fall apart. Over the next several weeks I will be sharing talking points about particular aspects of the conference. Today I want to share a stockpile of “intellectual ammunition”—including many general talking points about the UN climate efforts—that I hope will help you understand the genocidal nature of this conference and empower you to fight it.

• The alleged basis of UN Climate Conferences and their fossil fuel elimination commitments is the idea of "climate crisis." But this is a pseudoscientific idea based on a denial of our fossil fueled mastery of climate. Here's a full explanation: Talking Points on the so-called climate crisis

• The alleged scientific credibility of the genocidal UN Climate Conference comes from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Here's how the IPCC is fundamentally distorted by anti-human religion: Talking Points on the truth about the UN IPCC

• The most recent "scientific" justification for the UN Climate Conference's pursuit of fossil fuel elimination was the recent IPCC "Assessment Report," which supposedly claimed that we're at "code red for humanity." Here's why that reporting was false: Talking Points on the IPCC's 6th Assessment Report

• The upcoming UN Climate Conference, COP 26, is a continuation of the celebrated "Paris Climate Accords." But these accords required, among many other evils, the senseless sacrifice of America. Here's the full story about them: Talking Points on the Paris Climate Accords

• Even if you believe CO2 emissions are one of humanity's greatest concerns (I think lack of energy is 100X more significant) the UN approach of mandating solar+wind is idiotic; the only practical path is liberating low-carbon innovation, including nuclear: Talking Points on CO2 emissions

• Here's how the anti-fossil fuel, pro-solar-and-wind policies that the UN has been championing for decades are responsible for today's energy crisis and would make things far worse: Talking Points on skyrocketing natural gas and coal prices

• Here's how the anti-fossil fuel, pro-solar-and-wind policies that the UN has been championing for decades--which President Biden is now adopting--are an existential threat to America's energy security and national security.

• We are told that it's a tragedy that the targets of past UN Climate Conferences have failed to be met. But it's a good thing that they have failed, and human flourishing requires that they continue to fail going forward.

• Here's the single most important climate chart in the world--using non-partisan, publicly available data, showing drastic declines in climate-related disaster deaths, which the UN completely ignores in its multi-thousand-page "assessment reports."

This is the single most important climate chart in the world, showing what has happened to climate-related disaster deaths as humanity has used more fossil fuels. Fossil fuels haven't taken a safe climate and made it dangerous, they've taken a dangerous climate and made it safe.

Action Ideas

1. Make sure you are taking advantage of the Search feature on EnergyTalkingPoints.com, where all of my talking points are available. Just type in whatever issue you’d like my take on and the site will immediately pull up all my relevant talking points.

2. Share this compilation of intellectual ammunition with anyone who might be interested. Note that all of my talking points are free to the general public, and anyone can subscribe for free to receive them. If we can make COP 26 a failure now, future efforts will be more difficult as dictatorial green energy policies prove to be disastrous.

3. Contact your Congressman or Senator and tell them that you oppose the US’s leadership role in this conference. Share any/all of the above points with them. Here are phone numbers and other contact info for the US House and US Senate.

4. Share my Twitter thread of intellectual ammunition about COP 26.

   COP 26, the largest "climate conference"--aka fossil fuel elimination conference--since the Paris Climate Accords, is starting to fall apart as countries seek *more* fossil fuel. Let's make sure this genocidal conference totally falls apart. Here's the necessary ammunition.🧵
