www.americanthinker.com In his address to the General Assembly of the United Nations, President Donald Trump claimed that “the UN has such tremendous potential” but was not using it. What did this mean? The UN officially is a member’s organization, a meeting place for diplomacy. Did Trump want to go beyond this and see a UN as a powerful organization operating on its own? The UN has grown into a massive bureaucracy, with over 130,000 people. Secretary-General António Guterres speaks for the UN as if it were the prototype for a world government. Autonomous UN agencies like the International Criminal Court, World Trade Organization, and International Seabed Authority already behave as if they are global governing bodies able to act against national states. As a nationalist, Trump could not have been calling for the UN to further expand to fulfill its ‘potential.”
The UN is a sanctuary for third-ratestaffers and pseudo-intellectuals from around the world on the lam from reality. A giant, well-funded faculty lounge. Trump mentioned how the UN is “creating new problems for us to solve.” By supporting mass migration, “the United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders… every sovereign nation must have the right to control their own borders.” And on the climate issue, “I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the ‘green energy’ scam, your country is going to fail.”
The “climate crisis” seemed to give the UN an issue larger than the perennial conflicts of traditional geopolitics. An issue that could give the UN global authority to fix. It created the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992 to “save the planet” and “equitably” share the benefits of “sustainable” (i.e., limited by Green regulations) development. This mission would give the UN control of the global economy (climate includes everything) and thus the power to rule the world.
Coinciding with the opening of the General Assembly, Climate Summit 2025 was held as the major UN event leading to the annual Conference of the Parties that claims (without merit) to set “legally binding” rules for the global economy. The 30th COP will open November 10 in Belém, Brazil. It will likely fare no better than the previous 29 meetings, and not just because the Trump administration rejects everything about it. I have discussed COP27, COP28 and COP29 elsewhere, which all failed even with the support of the Biden Administration. Suffice it to say, national interests still dominate over the globalist dreams at the UN. And the most important national interest is improving the living conditions of citizens within countries that are secure and sovereign.
At the Climate Summit, only one-third of nations representing half of global greenhouse emissions output have submitted their national goals or targets for 2035, and these have been called inadequate. Firm pledges have only come from 53 countries accounting for 14% of emissions. The big news was China announced a target of a 10% cut in emissions by 2035, but still would not reach net zero until 2060, a meaningless date for the world’s largest emitter (29% of the world total) who is still building a new coal-fired powerplant every four days, along with nuclear and solar to meet its rapidly expanding energy needs by every means possible.
