On Monday, before most people knew that the UN General Assembly was once again meeting in New York, the UN issued a press release announcing the unanimous adoption of what it called the “Pact for the Future.” This “Pact” was devised as a successor to “Agenda 2030,” which international globalist organizations have admitted to failing, and the press release boasted that the “Pact” was designed to create a glorious “new world order.”

Where have we heard that dangerous phrase before? (Related: David Blackmon: Europe's EV market collapse offers lessons for UAW leadership)

The life story of the UN's wary secretary-general Socialist Antonio GuterresIt laid the foundation for the story in Monday's press release. Previewing It was delivered last week. The statementGuterres – He made the famous declaration The world entered the “Era of Earth Boiling” last July, and he advocated a complete restructuring of the world's “institutions and frameworks” to deal with major problems such as “runaway climate change” that no actual data shows is even happening.

In addition to the usual warnings about the climate crisis, Guterres also sounded a questionable alarm about the “runaway development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence”.

“Our system can't keep up.” Mr. Guterres said:“Crises are interconnected and feed off each other. Digital technologies, for example, are spreading climate disinformation, deepening mistrust and fuelling polarization. Today's international institutions and frameworks are woefully inadequate to address these complex, existential challenges.”

In other words, Agenda 2030, the UN plan adopted to use these institutions to solve all the world's problems, has failed. The solution? Well, we'll reorganize all the institutions and frameworks to solve all the world's problems and adopt a new “Pact for the Future.” Of course, that would work.

Such Comprehensive Agreement Unanimous international approval would have been headline news, but it did not. The lack of breaking news coverage may be due to the fact that, upon reading the document itself, it does not offer many plans for concrete action items.

Instead, it reads like something written by an issue editor for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, full of lofty words that don't actually say anything.

This reality is harsher than anywhere else section On “affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy.” After laying out the rationale for a subsidized and unstable energy transition (as always, portraying oil, natural gas and coal as convenient demons to justify a forced transition from democratic state systems to socialist centrally planned forced change), the document offers only vague talking points instead of action items.

• “Countries can accelerate the transition to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy systems by investing in renewable energy resources, prioritizing energy efficient practices and deploying clean energy technologies and infrastructure.”
• “Companies can commit to preserving and protecting ecosystems and sourcing 100% of the electricity they need for their operations from renewable sources.”
• “Employers can reduce internal demand for transportation by prioritizing communications and encouraging less energy-intensive modes of transportation, such as train travel over car or air travel.”
• “Investors can further invest in sustainable energy services and bring new technologies to market faster from a diverse supplier base.”
• “You can save electricity by plugging unused electrical appliances, including your computer, into a power strip and switching them off completely. You can also reduce your carbon footprint by cycling, walking or taking public transport.”

These are all just laudable recommendations. But there is nothing new here. The UN has come up with a set of guidelines forNet zero by 2050” goal. The simple reality is that the growing demand for energy (actual 24/7 energy) will continue to outpace the ability of global or national governments to enforce reductions in carbon emissions, because modern life is not sustainable without the use of carbon-based energy. Period.

Guterres acknowledges this reality by pointing out the rise of energy-hungry AI technologies as a development to be feared and attacked, and also seems to acknowledge that attempts to use the climate crisis to replace democratic institutions with socialism have failed, and a different villain is needed.

All of this is incredibly tedious and unproductive.
