Foreign bureaucrats at the unelected United Nations (UN) are demanding that governments around the world begin rolling out the globalist organization’s global “climate tax” before President Donald Trump is sworn back into power in January.
The UN’s plan involves funneling billions of dollars in taxpayer money from member nations, including the United States, to third-world countries.
Under the plan, tax dollars will supposedly be used to “fight climate change” in the developing world.
However, experts warn that very little of the funds would actually reach third-world countries if any at all.
According to the Financial Times, globalists expressed urgency to usher in the plan ahead of Trump’s return to the White House.
Foreign government officials attending the UN’s “climate change” summit, known as COP29, have been brainstorming to speed up the rollout of de facto global climate taxes to fund green energy development.
However, they fear that Trump will shut down the scheme once he’s back in the Oval Office.
Officials from countries including France, Spain, and Kenya are pushing to plan so-called “solidarity levies.”
The idea is to settle on a plan that would raise $100 billion or more annually to fund “climate-related efforts” in third-world countries, FT reported.
To raise the funds, the UN is urging nations to begin imposing de facto taxes.
Past discussions on the issue of providing climate cash to poor nations have been fraught, however.
Trump generally opposes routing money to other countries in the name of “climate change.”
During his first term, Trump pulled America out of the UN’s Paris Climate Agreement.
He is also primed to do so again after President Joe Biden rejoined the globalists pact.
Attendees at this year’s UN climate summit have been getting creative about finding sources of funding, according to FT.
To fund the “solidarity levies” scheme, the UN is urging nations to ramp up taxes in multiple areas, including shipping and aviation industries, cryptocurrency trades, fossil fuel production, plastic producers, billionaires, and financial transactions.
In fact, it is not even clear that the funding generated by the “solidarity levies” would even go directly to poor countries.
Officials from some nations have suggested that the money should go to the shipping industry to help it with its “decarbonization” push, according to FT.
The shipping industry’s commitment to cutting emissions is putting more pressure on the aviation industry, which is itself pointing to the oil and gas industry to cough up more money.
Many major airline companies are already party to a global carbon offset pact reached in 2016.
However, that system is not meant to generate revenues that can then be repurposed, according to FT.
The task force assessing the “solidarity levies” concept is eyeing options for building upon duties on plane tickets already in place in 21 countries.
The UN believes that hitting plane travelers with tax hikes could raise as much as $164 billion annually.
Notably, a study published just in advance of the start of this year’s COP29 found that well-attended elite confabs like the UN climate summits, the Cannes Film Festival, and the World Economic Forum produce large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions.
These emissions are due to the volume of attendees who choose to travel to and from via private jet.
