The White House website reported on the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate (MEF), held on Sept. 17. This was a follow-up to the meeting held in April of the Leaders Summit on Climate, both of which were convened by President Joe Biden.
The virtual forum was “attended by leaders from Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, the European Commission, the European Council, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and the United Kingdom as well as the UN Secretary-General. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry chaired a ministerial session with China, Germany, India, and Russia.”
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken opened the meeting by summarizing the genocidal conclusions of the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The main focus of the meeting, according to the White House account, was enforcement of the “Global Methane Pledge, an effort co-initiated by the United States and the European Union, [which] will involve a collective goal of reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030 and implementation of related domestic actions … here was broad recognition at the meeting of the importance of rapidly reducing methane emissions, and many MEF members, including the European Union, Argentina, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States, declared their intention to join. It was reported that non-MEF countries, including Ghana and Iraq, have also signaled intent to join the Global Methane Pledge. These early supporters of the Pledge include six of the top 15 methane emitters globally and together account for over one-fifth of global methane emissions and nearly half of the global economy.”
As many already know, the biggest source of methane is from the “natural gas” emitted from grazing animals, especially from cows, whose four stomachs allow them to convert fibrous grass—indigestible by humans—for human food, which has contributed to centuries of population growth. Reduction of these animals, and other agricultural and industrial sources, would only result in mass starvation and death of millions of people. In February 2021, the infamous Bill Gates announced that consumption of beef in all advanced economies must be totally phased out, to reduce gas emissions. (He said he would like this also in poorer nations, but it would be hard, and anyway, they don’t have much beef, nor meat herds.)
