## Resource

From Brazil’s COP30, Craig Rucker alleges U.N.-driven top-down control, massive wealth transfers, and political theater that sidelines indigenous voices while rewarding grifters and ideologues. He claims NGOs and activists frame climate as a quasi-religion to justify sweeping policies and funding goals, including a proposed $300 billion-per-year climate fund scaling toward $1.3 trillion by 2035. Rucker argues that many scientists privately temper their alarm. At the same time, public pressure and grants enforce orthodoxy, and he says public skepticism is rising as EV pullbacks and renewed interest in nuclear power challenge green mandates. He urges the Senate to formally reject legacy climate treaties to end the policy “ping-pong” for America.
