Welcome. This is James Corbett of The Corbett Report with your grossly misnamed Sunday Update for Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
And now for the real news.
The cabal of climate cranks and certified charlatans that fill the ranks of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change are descending on Turkey this week to kick off their 31st annual “Conference of the Parties” meeting.
The gaggle of globalists are flying into the Mediterranean resort of Antalya for a week-long hookers-and-blow-fueled party and to engage in virtue signaling and performative hand-wringing about winter snow and summer heat. They will end their kabuki theater performance with their ritual demand that the public forego modern conveniences and sacrifice more of their hard-earned money in order to appease the angry weather gods.
REPORTER: It’s been called the implementation COP with over 100,000 people set to attend the climate talks over two weeks. Jointly organized by official host Turkey and Australia, which is leading the negotiations, this year’s COP 31 has announced an action agenda, ditching new targets for a single priority: turning years of old climate promises into urgent action.

This annual exercise in hypocrisy involves millionaires, politicians and 100,000 bureaucratic hangers-on descending on an exotic resort locale via limo, cruise ship or private jet to feast on caviar and peeled grapes while they lecture the public about the dangers of using air conditioners and eating meat, and it serves as a stark reminder that the glad-handing politicians, grandstanding celebrities and scientifically illiterate pen-pushers of the climate con actively hate the public they are attempting to swindle.
Recent Conference of the Parties lowlights include last year’s shambolic COP30 in Brazil—which not only failed to achieve any of the climate cabal’s goals of getting Western developed nations to self-immolate at the altar of the UN bureaucracy but also featured former climate cult darling Bill Gates admitting that climate change is not an existential crisis (now that Microsoft needs more energy to power its AI data centres)—as well as the Brazilian government’s decision to cut down thousands of acres of rainforest to pave a four-lane highway to the conference and a series of disasters demonstrating that these would-be Masters of the Global Climate couldn’t organize their way our of a wet paper bag.
MARC MORANO: But essentially they brought in 50,000 people to the city that couldn’t handle it and it was a disaster from day one.
[…]
They couldn’t get plumbing right. And they had a situation where world leaders didn’t have access to any toilets at the UN summit for six hours.
[…]
And, by the way, the conference centre itself was 88 football fields of Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey tents. And it was just tent after tent after tent with no windows. And they were very poorly constructed.
[…]
But there are just a couple other examples here. The big metaphor was the fire that they had.
They had a fire. As I mentioned, these were horribly constructed, temporary tent structures. I don’t even know the cause, if they figured it out, but a fire broke out in one of the tents and it literally looked life threatening. No one actually got killed. Some people had smoke inhalation. But they had to shut down the entire conference for about half a day and clear that out and then close off sections from that. And it just was a PR disaster. It was a substantive disaster.
And my favorite quote of the whole conference was Politico quoting a high level UN official just saying, “I don’t even know what the f*** we’re doing here.”
Luckily for humanity, the Chicken Littles of the Angry Weather God cult have been utterly disgraced in recent years and no one takes them or their Fauci-level “Trust The Science” pronouncements seriously anymore.
The centrepiece of the conference is a voluntary pledge which they hope will raise electricity’s share of global energy production from 20% today to 35% in 2035…but in addition to being an unenforced, non-binding scouts honour pinky swear by those nations that sign on, the pledge doesn’t even stipulate that the new electricity production has to come from “clean” energy sources. Rather, the production of this new electricity “will vary according to national circumstances” and might result from burning petrochemicals.
As economist Tilak Doshi, covering the conference on Substack, observes:
The phase-out of fossil fuels is not even a formal agenda item in Antalya. Instead, the talk is of countries following transition roadmaps ‘tailored’ to their own circumstances and constraints, which in practice means each government will do what it was going to do anyway.
Unluckily for humanity, the technocratic tyrants aren’t taking the stunning collapse of their climate enslavement agenda lying down. Instead, they’re trying a new tack for selling their tired old scare story to the public: climate health.
“DR.” TEDROS: Climate change is already driving illness, disrupting essential services, and putting health workers at risk. […] Heat, floods, drought, wildfires, and air pollution are arriving at the doors of clinics and hospitals. All of this means that health is also the most compelling reason for climate action.

Unsurprisingly, this ginned up panic, too, is based on demonstrable lies.
On the eve of this year’s COP summit, the WHO released a new report claiming that six climate and health measures would save 1.6 million lives a year and result in trillions of dollars of benefit to the global economy. However, writing for WattsUpWithThat, Charles Rotter reports that the WHO fraudsters achieved their headline “1.6 million lives saved” number by adding up the numbers of people whose deaths are attributable to soot, smog, indoor cooking and improper sanitation, which has nothing to do with the temperature of the planet, and the “trillions of dollars of economic benefits” touted by the WHO are in fact the trillions of dollars that governments would steal from their own citizens in the form of increased fuel taxes.
In related news, a different “COP” summit just took place in Armenia: the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity’s 17th Conference of the Parties.
Critics warn that the summit’s outcome—the so-called “Yerevan Pathway,” expressing concern for the lack of progress on the UN’s 2030 Global Enslavement goals and calling for greater control of the earth’s resources by a small group of technocrats under the guise of “saving the Earth”—are in fact an all-out assault on private property rights, free markets, access to resources, and national sovereignty.
Covering the summit for CFACT, reporter Alex Newman observes:
Critics warn that the [Yerevan Pathway’s] definitions could encompass subsidies or incentives affecting conventional agriculture, fertilizer, fossil fuels and other productive activities. The result would be greater government influence over where capital flows and which industries prosper.
Gloating about this new move toward global technocratic enslavement, Armenia’s environment minister and COP17 President Hambardzum Matevosyan gloated “Our work here in Yerevan can influence how natural resources are used, how goods are produced and consumed, and where public and private financial resources are directed,” before adding that biodiversity policy “should extend beyond the purview of environment ministries” into finance, agriculture, and economic development.
In the meantime, Sunday Update will be keeping an eye on the COP31 summit in Turkey and we’ll let you know whether purported Hollywood actor and (you can’t make this stuff up) UN “Messenger of Peace” Leonardo DiCaprio will try for the ultra rare quadruple virtue signal by adding a Ukraine flag AND a Black Lives Matter logo to his COVID mask or whether he’ll settle for an uncomfortable photo op with the local riffraff when he jets in to tell the little people they need to stop taking hot showers so that his grandchildren can enjoy the planet.
And that’s the news you won’t hear anywhere else.
