My Dear Readers:
Today marks the last day of the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Share with you two of the remarks on satire and two of my satirical poems, one unpublished haiku and one published gembun for sparking your imagination of and reflection on future global climate:
People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the UN climate conference in Belém, Brazil, COP30.
-- paraphrasing Robin Williams
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
-- William Blake

FYI: BBC News, Nov. 21, 2025: Fire breaks out at COP30 as conference closes And The Guardian, Nov. 21 2025: Cop30 delegates ‘far apart’ on phasing out fossil fuels and cutting carbon
No more climate alarmist talk.

The Trump administration is using lobbying and economic threats to thwart emissions-cutting and environmental initiatives around the world.
“We want to bring our arguments to our opponents,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said, speaking at an energy summit on Oct. 22 hosted by the America First Policy Institute, a think tank aligned with Trump. “We’re going to come back to realistic views on energy, and President Trump is just all-in on American energy dominance. That’s a win not just for America, that’s a win for the world.”
