“We also urge the use of at least 20% of the revenues… so that we can pay for the damages done by our past consumption of meat and animal proteins. This is why we want to make the polluter pay.”
– Willem Branten, public affairs and policy officer at the True Animal Protein Price Coalition, speaking at COP29.
Make the polluter pay.
Well, damn. If that’s what we’re going with, it looks like there are a bunch of global warming crazies who are going to be paying. At least, if this video from COP29 is any indication.
The video is courtesy of Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot, who is reporting on-site from the U.N. conference. Morano, a former communications director for the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee under the George W. Bush administration, caught something very peculiar.
Attendees lining up rows deep for two separate buffets that serve meat. All the while, the vegan buffet is looking pretty barren.
There are roughly four people in line at the vegan buffet side of things. And perhaps a tumbleweed or two that blows through. One can almost hear the Western music with the whistling as Morano pans away from the hypocrites and over to the herbivores.
“Here is the line at COP29’s food court for the buffet serving meat … another buffet serving meat, and here is the vegan-only restaurant,” Morano says. “Doesn’t quite look like the same amount of interest by the U.N. delegation here.”
RedState spoke to Morano, who slammed the hypocrisy emanating from the UN.
“The United Nations in the climate agenda are demanding a great food reset. Not for them, but for the rest of us — the masses,” he said.
“Despite calling for a meat tax and a war on agriculture with massive restrictions on meat, the U.N. climate summit is selling massive counts of every type of meat to you and delegates who are greedily gobbling it up,” he added.
In another clip, Morano points out that the menu at COP29 is selling some pricey burgers ($14.71) and chicken burgers while also offering a vegan burger ($16.47).

He then films himself about to enjoy a hot dog with real beef at the summit, a menu item Morano says is “selling like hot cakes.”
Morano tells RedState that NetZero climate initiatives are little more than a masquerade for the rich to enjoy life’s pleasures while forcing others to pay.
“This is just another example of how NetZero is nothing short of the Sovietization of the once free,” he explained. “Private jets, lavish mansions, and plenty of meat for those who rule over the rest of us.”
At the UN’s taxpayer-funded #COP29, self-appointed philosopher kings are ordaining we plebes be forced to eat vegetarian; meanwhile, what do you think is on the menu at their confab? You guessed it!

Apparently one of the most food items at COP29 are … all-beef hot dogs pic.twitter.com/PdpbLhjfvC
