“Peter Carter: COP26 "Glasgow Pact" Global Suicide Pact”
“The last minute watered down coal (phase down not out) clause and watered down fossil fuel subsidy phase out (inefficient added) makes COP26 another dismal failure. Neither coal consumption nor emissions will drop, and fossil fuel subsidies will not be dropped. The protection of the fossil fuel industry, while killing the future, exercise will be repeated in a year at COP27 In Egypt.”

“Less than 1/2 of 1% of dying Americans pay ANY Estate Tax.
Revenues from the federal estate tax have fallen by 50% in just two years, according to new data from the IRS reported by Blomberg News.
In 2018, about 5,500 families paid more than $20 billion in estate taxes. In 2020, the IRS collected about $9.3 billion from 1,275 families.
“The dramatic decline – to the point where the tax is paid by 0.04% of dying Americans – is largely the result of the tax overhaul enacted by Republicans in 2017, which doubled the amount the wealthy can pass to heirs without triggering the levy,” Bloomberg’s Ben Steverman writes.”

The “over population” comment could use further detail, but all in all not a bad rant
“This is the way I see it.
We have done so much damage to the planet that it is beyond belief.
We have essentially backed ourselves onto a ledge and that ledge is about to give way from our weight.
Only a very small few is saying "Hey! Let's get off this ledge!" And the rest are ignoring the few.
We have passed so many tipping points that Global Warming is now irreversible yet people refuse to accept reality and will continue the 'Good Fight' even though it is an effort made in vain.
The Arctic is about to go ice free and there is nothing that can be done about it because we people are not acting as a whole.
It is only a very small percentage of the population that wants to do anything and the rest do not.
We live in a world where we want World Peace but as it turns out the only time we will get World Peace is when everyone is dead.
So we have a very small part of the population (less than 1%) that wants to "Save the World" and are willing to ignore Science just so they can hope for a better tomorrow.
Hope is a lie we tell ourselves so that we will feel better for our actions.
Global Warming is just one problem. It is a direct effect from the number one cause that almost nobody talks about all because we love the sound of little children playing.
Overpopulation.
Global Warming is not the only effect that is threatening to wipe out all life.
Every person alive has to eat to survive. And that leads to another threat that will kill us all.
"Nearly 21,000 monitored populations of mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians, encompassing almost 4,400 species around the world, have declined an average of 68% between 1970 and 2016, according to the World Wildlife Fund's Living Planet Report 2020. Species in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as global freshwater habitats, were disproportionately impacted, declining, on average, 94% and 84%, respectively."”

COP26 was attended by 503 fossil fuel lobbyists$$$, that is more than any other delegation:
“Who sent the largest delegation to COP26? The fossil fuel industry. At least 503 lobbyists have been taking part in the UN’s climate conference in Glasgow — that’s 2 dozen more than the largest country delegation.
They represent some of the largest oil and gas corporations in the world, including Shell, BP, and Gazprom. A data analysis was conducted of the UN’s provisional list of named attendees, including people directly affiliated with fossil fuel companies and those attending as members of delegations that act on behalf of the fossil fuel industry. This has led to more than 100 fossil fuel companies and 30 trade associations and membership organizations being represented. Comparatively, there are double the amount of lobbyists as the UNFCCC’s official Indigenous constituency, and more than the combined total of delegates from the 8 countries that have been hit hardest by the climate crisis in the past 2 decades (Puerto Rico, Myanmar, Haiti, Philippines, Mozambique, Bahamas, Bangladesh, and Pakistan), according to Global Witness, one of the companies that performed the data analysis. Global Witness also notes that lobbyists from other polluting industries (such as finance, agribusiness, and transportation) are also in attendance, though not part of this count.
This report comes as activists criticize COP26 for not being inclusive of those most affected by climate change, as there are many barriers to getting to the summit. There have been calls in recent years to address and institute policies for conflicts of interest, and how many lobbyists from these corporations should be allowed into the conference.

“Coal, oil and gas will never be clean, safe and reliable.
Renewables are market-ready, proven and cost-effective technologies that will expand energy access for all.
We cannot trust the fossil fuel industry to transition to clean, safe and reliable energy on their own. We need government intervention to lead the transition.
That’s why a new global fossil free treaty is so critical. Add your voice and we can stop fossil fuel expansion, phase out existing fossil fuels and ensure a just transition for all.”

The person who posted this omitted any mention of the privatization provisions and the Democrats tax scam for the rich. Hmmm, must be an establishment stooge putting this out...Pelosi, is that you?!
Why should I be excited when my government spends my money setting up a stream of profits for the already rich?
Let’s be clear, the money for that stream of profits to the political connected for-profit entity will come from my paying more to use public goods and services - that my taxes already paid to build - that I used to use for relatively free.
Again, why should I be happy about Washington using my money and heretofore public assets to set up more wealth for somebody who is already rich? Especially when. after they’ve set them up, they get to bleed me with tolls, fees, and the like raising my basic cost of living? Ever been to Chicago?

What's more, the incumbent President couldn't even get HALF of Democrats to say that he should run again, though a plurality (45%) said that he should. These are remarkably bad poll numbers, but they should be used as guidance for the Democratic Party moving forward.”

Time to wake up: Manchin and Sinema are the chosen villains for a position that sinks the BBB that A L L Democrats are being paid to sink:
Excerpt:
“For people who say ‘don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ to pass legislation, consider why no one tells that to the Dems who killed passage of Rx drug pricing and Universal Pre-K this week over small process demands from safe Dem seats in places like NY and Hawaii,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote, referring to conservative Democrats like Rep. Kathleen Rice (New York) who opposed crucial elements of the Build Back Better Act.
“The reason platitudes like this are insulting is because they are exclusively employed to deny the working class, POC, and youth’s basic demands for livability. Like affordable rx drugs,” she continued. “No one says this to the safe-seat Dems who derailed climate action and healthcare over a [Congressional Budget Office (CBO)] table.”
