We’ve done more scientific reporting on CO2 “driven” Sea Level Rise fraud than anyone in New Hampshire, perhaps all of New England (and then some). Even NOAA has admitted there’s no connection. But grifters gonna grift. COP29 and every COP before it existed to launder money from Western nations to whoever else they think needs it, including Western vendors in the green energy marketplace (who happen to be political friends or family. It’s a scam, and everyone wants to take advantage of it.
Small island nation states have argued that rising sea levels due to climate change place their very existence at stake. Arnold Kiel Loughman, attorney general of the South Pacific island state of Vanuatu, argued that human rights law is applicable.
This is not just ridiculous (absurd, ludicrous, preposterous). Even if CO2 were causing anything but the greening of the planet, the scientific literature and their own behavior tell us these island nations are not at risk.
These islands, most coral atolls, have been unaffected or increased landmass during the politicized age of climate change. Additionally, and this correlates well to the local problem of lying about property values along the coastline of any state, who spends 14 million to build a resort on a doomed island? Most, if not all, of these endangered “nations” are happy to allow global interests to invest huge sums to enable their local tourism further.
If oil companies are liable for failing to report climate risks in their investment reports, why aren’t oceanside municipalities liable for the same fraud as island nations accepting invitations from global companies to build beachfront resorts?
And how do extortion payments help? Do we get discounts on lodging and meals? That might be worth it. He’s 20 million, but everyone from America who books a trip there stays free. The nation can pay the resort or “explain it to them.”
How long before hotels stop building resorts on their islands and look to someone else’s?
Or better yet, how soon do these nations, milling tourists, decide to stop lying to woke bodies like the International Court of (in) Justice?
The Maldives GDP per capita, by the way, is 120% of the world average.
