PM Orbán calls for climate policy ‘guided by common sense’
Change language:
Climate policy should be guided by common sense, rather than ideology, alarmism or panic, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in Baku on Tuesday, addressing COP29, the annual UN conference on climate change.
PM Orbán talks about climate policy
Speaking among more than 40 heads of state and government, Orbán thanked Azeri President Ilham Aliyev for hosting the event. Azerbaijan is a key partner of Europe in reaching its climate goals, and an ideal place to hold the conference, he said.
Orbán noted that Hungary held summits of the European Political Community and the European Council last week, where EU leaders adopted a declaration on competitiveness that will shape the EU’s approach to climate issues.
“Our mission is to make Europe more competitive, and we approach climate protection with this vision in our mind,” Orbán said. Hungary is proud to have improved its economic performance while cutting emissions in recent years, he said.
“We cannot sacrifice our industry or our agriculture in this process. We must continue advancing the green transition while also maintaining our use of natural gas, oil and nuclear energy. The price of climate change should not be paid by our farmers, the backbone of our economy and society,” the Hungarian PM said. “We cannot impose unrealistic quotas or burdensome rules on farmers and companies, but should offer practical support for them.”
True.
Common sense, as well as hard data, show that most of the Climate Change™ narrative is alarmist hysteria, and ALL the supposed remedies are to the detriment of the ordinary people’s liberties, living standard, and quality of life in general.
Just say NO.
Drill baby, drill! It´s all a hoax. Wait. What if it isn´t? “Living standard” and “Quality of Life” as large parts of the planet become uninhabitable, or impaired.
But we won´t care, will we? We will be dead and gone – leaving our dwindling number of descendants to ponder what we got wrong.
Look forward to the “hard data” @michaelsteiner – hope it is not Twitter or X or something?
