Delegates who arrive at Egypt's beachside resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh to discuss ways to mitigate the "climate crisis" are able to enjoy COPGourmet's $100 Angus beef medallion which is served with mushroom sauce and sauteed potatoes, according to screenshots obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. However, the UN aims to "minimize emissions per calorie" and to reduce meat consumption in order to prevent the planet from overheating, according to a COP27 food security document.
"The menu on offer is yet another example of the staggering disconnect between so-called leaders and the people they represent," Nathan McGovern, a spokesperson for the animal and climate activist group Animal Rebellion, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "It is hypocritical for delegates at COP27 to be dining on the destruction of our natural world, whilst simultaneously claiming to be trying to protect it."
Although many Egyptian dishes, including its national dish Koshary, are vegan, not one main dish on the VIP menu is vegan, and the $20 pesto and cheese ravioli represent the sole vegetarian entree on offer. A plant-based diet is healthy and can help reduce individuals' environmental impact as meat farming produces significant amounts of carbon emissions, according to the UN.
"It was amusing to hear about how Angus beef and sea bass was being served to certain officials, while at the same time, side events at COP27 were championing the idea of going vegan and eliminating red meat," Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow President Craig Rucker told the DCNF.

The UN organizers vowed to make the conference a sustainable and carbon-neutral event to demonstrate their "ambitious aspiration" towards climate action, according to the COP27 official website.
"The conference also had chilly air conditioning, often left its doors wide open to the desert air and featured some 400 private jets flying into a posh Red Sea resort area in a country that gets 90% of its energy from fossil fuels," Rucker said.
COPGourmet and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation's request for comment.

You want somebody to do something - why not do it yourself.
By the way, rabbit stew is on the menu!

I'm in no way suggesting violence, as it will only lead to a bloodbath all around. I am saying the climate is getting to be a real tinderbox lately. Dear Leaders might take note of this.
so hell yeah - the heat is turning higher.....and let the chips be placed
place the chips on the table....
flip the cards....
and let the best ideas prevail.

If you cheat, you will be caught and terminated without discrimination. It will be a group decision made individually in agreement.
The hubris required to think that we can control the temperature of an entire planet is off the charts! It's even more insane to blame CO2, a harmless invisible gas that is less than 0.04% of our atmosphere, and crucially is not evenly distributed across the planet.
60 million years ago, dinosaurs were grazing in green pastures with CO2 levels at around 40% - CO2 is the lowest its been in millions of years according to the ice core data. If it goes any lower we'll have problems with plant growth.
None of these facts will stop the madness though, as it's all about finding new and scary ways to control us. The Covid scam was mildly successful but it didn't scare enough people, so 'we're destroying the planet' is next.
I predict 'climate change' lockdowns - 'Stay home to save the planet' or some other such nonsense. It's all so tiresome.
It’s almost as if the credibility of the current elite that we have associated with “running the world” is systematically being weakened. Almost as if there was some type of reset on the horizon that could only be implemented if the old establishments were removed first. Hmmm…….
These people are playing roles and putting on a play that we assume is more than a play. That play is going off without a hitch and we are soaking it all up. Any “awakening” or discontent that is happening is part of the play.
How does anybody ever "really" know it is a "play"....how does anybody ever really know it is a play? If you know this definitively, then effing prove it. Otherwise, it is easy to observe, but no contentment comes from it because it is better to play a part.....you want my humble opinion.
Peace,

Are they reading a script? Are they under the control of a puppet master? Likely yes to both questions. What to do? By all means enjoy the show. Why not make it an audience participation event? Just take note where are the theatre exits and steer clear of any real trouble (is my suggestion).
As far as steering clear of trouble, that is innate in my mind.....I mind my own business and try not to cause harm to others even if sometimes I suppose I'm an annoying small house voice....
