It’s happening over 7,000 miles away in the United Arab Emirates, but the UN Climate Change Conference could have drastic ramifications for the U.S., with countries across the globe looking to restrict energy usage and tap taxpayers for billions in “climate reparations.”
Known as COP 28, the United Nations conference kicked off with controversy as thousands of representatives from over 200 nations, many on private jets, flew first class to the energy-rich Emirate, producing a massive carbon footprint of their own. The meeting’s host, Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber, holds the conflicting role as head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, and balked at efforts by the United States to throttle fossil fuel consumption worldwide.
Yet, that’s what the U.S. delegation is pushing, with resulting economic hardships to residents and businesses suffering from record inflation as President Joe Biden cracks down on American energy. Critics say the administration is playing into the hands of the nation’s adversaries by pushing electric vehicles made abroad, killing the fossil fuel industry, and even going as far as banning gas stoves in people’s homes.
Absent from the environmental confab was China, whose 1.4 billion people are among the world’s largest consumers of fossil fuels. The nation is building a new coal-fired generating plant per week on average and is making oil deals using its own currency, the Yuan, rather than the U.S.-based Petro Dollar, arrangements seen as an affront to America’s climate initiatives and its economic might.
Further stressing the American taxpayer is the proposal to soak them for billions of dollars in reparations the COP conference says they should pay for the climate damage suffered by other nations. The monies, which could amount to trillions worldwide, would be paid to developing countries forced to transition away from fossil fuels as part of the global plans coming out of COP 28.
Leading the U.S. climate delegation is former Secretary of State John Kerry, who has shaped a new career path as the nation’s Presidential Envoy for Climate. The failed candidate for president and past senator from Massachusetts has been criticized for traveling around the world in private jets pushing an agenda seen as harmful to the economic interests of the people in his home country.

According to Moore, Biden’s energy policy will eliminate upwards of 60% of America’s electric generating capacity at a time when his administration and Progressive states such as New York are imposing electric vehicle requirements and eliminating the use of natural gas for cooking, heating, and air conditioning. “The coal plants and mines we shut down in places like Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wyoming are being replaced two or three times over by newly built coal-fired plants in India and China,” Moore noted. “We shut down one plant; they bring on line two or three new ones. This math doesn’t add up — especially since we have cleaner coal plants than China does.”
Experts believe that the country will not have enough solar or windmill generators to meet its needs and will experience rolling blackouts and brownouts across the country, much like we’ve already seen in California, America’s frontrunner for radical anti-fossil fuel policies.
“Whether intentional or not, this radical green agenda will cripple our global economic leadership, cost our economy millions of jobs and make Americans colder in their homes in the winter and hotter in the summer,” Moore stated. “Does that seem like a smart way to protect ourselves from the dangers of a changing climate — real or imagined?”
Campaigning to take back the White House from Biden, former President Donald Trump was asked if he would act as a dictator, to which he responded, “Only on Day One,” when he said he would issue orders to “Drill, baby drill.”
