The recent announcement of the 2023 COP28 climate conference being held in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates has caused a stir due to the bizarre location choice. Held in the desert, this summit brings together politicians from all over, including half of the federal cabinet as well as delegations from Alberta and Saskatchewan. This strange choice of location, already criticized for its irony, also brings up questions of entitlement and arrogance by those who assure us that climate change is the world’s biggest existential threat.
As the summit is hosted in Dubai, this choice of location has raised concerns over the mentality and actions of political leaders who expect the public to accept their climate change mitigation charade. It has also sparked discussions on everything from the ironies of political ideologies to the misinformation spread regarding climate change itself. This recent announcement, backed by global elite, is serving to cause a more widespread realization of the fallacies and delusions that are perpetuated by the climate change religion and the assertions that it makes regarding the pressing need for political and ideological impact.
It is becoming more widely considered amongst the public that the claims of reducing carbon emissions to save the planet cannot be manifested through their efforts alone, raising questions of importance and practicality regarding this global initiative. As the reality behind climate change messaging and global discontent are brought to light, it becomes more evident that perhaps this concept is not widely accepted and concerns are starting to be more focused on the cost of living rather than on climate change. The reality of the climate change issue is called into question by an increasing number of Canadians, who find themselves facing the disparity between what they are told and what they see in their own lives. This question of worth and narrative raises questions on how people are being manipulated by those who have it all, whilst being asked to make sacrifices for the greater good. These arguments bring into focus the implications of living in a world dominated by the climate change religion, one that promises little in the way of satisfaction or betterment.
