U.S. energy experts heavily criticized the recent U.N. agreement to end fossil fuel reliance, expressing concerns about the potential harm to American national and energy security.
The agreement, announced during the COP28 climate summit, aims to transition away from fossil fuels and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Critics argue that the pact lacks realistic means for replacing fossil fuels and fails to enforce commitments to cut emissions. (Trending: New Movie Obamas Helped Make Raises Eyebrows: ‘Don’t Trust White People’)
“While diplomats are fearmongering about projected minuscule temperature changes, billions of men, women and children around the world would rejoice at the opportunity to enjoy reliable electricity that fossil fuels provide,” American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac said.
“Lunatics with the U.N. are inhumanely attempting to bribe countries into phasing out fossil fuels but [have] no realistic means for replacing the products and energy those hydrocarbons produce,” he added.
“Meanwhile, the Biden administration turns a blind eye to Iranian oil sanction and the spigot is flowing right to China, which is now refining the products that move the world: diesel and jet fuel.”
“The United States supported this call for clearer language about the need to largely phase out fossil fuels, but we know this was a compromise between many parties. And that does not detract from its significance,” Kerry stated.
“This text also aligns with the decisions the marketplace has already made,” he said.
“The message coming out of this COP is that we are moving away from fossil fuels and we are not turning back.”
They also pointed to recent setbacks in green energy development in the U.S. as evidence of the agreement’s shortcomings.
“Thankfully, the COP28 agreement is just the latest do-nothing agreement to come out of the U.N. climate meetings … blah-blah-blah, as Greta Thunberg might say,” senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute Steve Milloy said.
“After 28 U.N. climate meetings, emissions have increased 50% with no end in sight, per a pre-COP28 U.N. report.”
“There are no enforceable commitments to cut emissions or fossil fuel use and no requirements for rich countries to pay poor countries for climate,” Milloy added.
“Next year, the COP29 circus will be held in Azerbaijan, another oil producing country. So, the climate farce will continue, as will fossil fuel use and emissions.”
“This joke of an agreement really only has two goals: Allow Joe Biden to continue his war on American energy and ensure these elitists have something to do before next year’s COP29 exclusive junket,” Power the Future founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner stated.
“These unelected bureaucrats can smile as they board their carbon-spewing private jets knowing feckless leaders like Joe Biden will continue to do their bidding in pursuit of a fanciful and misguided agenda,” he added.
