Andrew Bolt: Chris Bowen and 416 Australian climate zealots demonstrate what a clown show the global warming scare has become
Chris Bowen and 416 Australian climate zealots used gassy fossil fuels to fly 15,000km to Brazil to attend the COP30 climate change conference ... to tell the rest of us how to save the planet.
Chris Bowen is in Brazil, hilariously showing what a clown show the great global warming scare has become.
That’s because the Albanese government’s Climate Change Minister has been joined by some 416 of Australia’s global warming zealots and opportunists at COP30, this year’s annual United Nations’ climate change conference.
What a party they’re having there in the Amazonian city of Belem, which kindly carved a four-lane highway through rainforests to help them get there to tell the rest of us to save the planet.
Tread lightly, they insist, after using gassy fossil fuels to fly 15,000km to … do what exactly?
I’ve looked down the list of the Australians the organisers were told to expect, and wonder what on earth they’re all doing there.
Really, 416 Australians – plus Bowen and all his officials – had to fly to Brazil? For what?
Tell me why Surfers for Climate are there. Or edgy arts donor Oranges & Sardines Foundation – or is that because the global warming cult truly is the ultimate performance art of the elites?
I’ve at least worked out why students are there, like the ones from Pimlico State High School and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. A generation of children need indoctrinating, after all.
The Australians there even include a “relief teacher” from “Queensland Education”. But seriously? A relief teacher at a conference supposedly trying to save all humanity from extinction?
Some of the Australian groups there seem a parody of our times, including the Wiyi Yani U Thangani Institute for First Nations Gender Justice. (Yes, it’s really a thing.)
Then there’s the Centre for Reworlding and Creative Climate, and the Climate Writers, which says it’s for people who “mostly hang out once a month and learn about climate change … and write to MPs about stuff that we think is a good idea”.
Hmm. Have we sent our best minds?
I assume the Uniting Church is there to search in the jungle for a new god it can believe in once more. COP30 did try its best to oblige, opening with three people in feathered headdresses shaking rattles and chanting some tribal incantation.
But I can’t understand why the National Suicide Prevention and Trauma Recovery Project is also in Belem, when its donors might have expected it to stick to stopping Aboriginals back in Australia from killing themselves.
That said, the Australian delegation was teeming with Aboriginal groups, including the Western Yalanji Aboriginal Corporation, Indigenous Peoples’ Organisation Australia, Indigenous Desert Alliance, Currie Country Social Change Aboriginal Corporation, Firesticks Alliance and Scarred Tree Indigenous Ministries.
You’d think they’d have had plenty to be getting on with back home, but in Belem they formed a prop for Bowen, allowing him to start his speech with classic wokery: “I begin by reaffirming Australia’s commitment to the inclusion of First Nations people in our climate change response and clean energy future.”
True, you might excuse other Australians there – people representing state governments, universities and big-emitting businesses like Qantas and BHP.
But did climate crusading miner Andrew Forrest really need to send all of 15 delegates, all stinking up the planet with their emissions flying over? And, hello, See Saw Wines?
You might even excuse big green groups like Greenpeace, but delegates from local councils?
And did Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young really need her staffer to come, too? Hasn’t she heard of Zoom? No emissions, Senator!
No, the pattern is only too clear. And ominous. The true agenda of these UN conferences seems to have little to do with science or economics.
They seem more like a giant Mass of a neo-pagan religion, attracting worshippers who are anti-West, anti-industry and anti-capitalist, pledging themselves instead to a new apocalyptic faith that exalts the primitive and the collective.
That’s why Indigenous tribes are the stars at Belem, which has drawn 3000 Indigenous representatives from around the world.
And Bowen wants to repeat this circus next year in Adelaide, telling the Belem bedlam “we want to bring the world to our region to see the impacts of climate change and bring the world’s best innovators and businesses to invest in solutions”.
Yes, and bring the circus freaks that are the camp followers of these supposed “world’s best innovators”.
And the worst of it is that Bowen wants to host the next such clown show despite the government estimating this would cost us more than $1bn – an obscene waste to host another monstrously gassy party of the hypocritical Left.
