Deplorables killed Net-Zero and ESG. I Know! Let's Steal the National Parks!

[Danielle is gung-ho about net zero. That worries me. Is she just going along with the crowd to get to a higher goal or does she actually believe that crap?]

We went to pick up our badges. Then the bureaucrats did what UN bureaucrats always do when a climate heretic gets too close: they found a problem.

Suddenly, our accreditation “didn’t allow” us inside the main venue — the pavilions, media rooms, and meeting halls packed with activists, diplomats, and 55,000 carbon-burning delegates who flew halfway around the world to lecture ordinary people about their energy use.
