India Rejects UN Climate Politics in Favor of Industrialization

https://pjmedia.com/vijay-jayaraj/2026/10/02/india-rejects-un-climate-politics-in-favor-of-industrialization-n4957881

India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, used the U.N. General Assembly gathering to say something that climate scaremongers like Al Gore and John Kerry have spent three decades excluding from the conversation: “Energy security is at the heart of development. Availability and prices should not be manipulated for political ends.”

The developing world, he said, needs “fair economic and trade practices which enhance our production capabilities and do not reduce us to mere consumers. Our right to industrialize must not be denied.”

Dr. Jaishankar’s statement is a rebuke to climate campaigners who once envisioned India as the poster child of the “green” transition, the manipulators of energy “for political ends.” Those would be the anti-fossil fuel governments that themselves grew rich on coal, oil, and natural gas and now demand that others pursue their own prosperity with inferior energy sources like wind and solar.

The minister knows that a nation without the capability to make steel, cement, fertilizer, and electronics stays a buyer of other people's goods. That is the future of "mere consumers" that he refuses to accept on behalf of India and the rest of the Global South.

It's not like India's ene-rival China is giving a @#$% about Warmista-ism.

India is one of the Earth's most extreme combinations of abject poverty and opulent wealth. India also has tech-focused universities that are world-class.

Floridians demand school fire educator who said Jews “control everything”, that Israel is a “fake country”

The K-8 school River City Science Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, has declined to make any public statements to their constituents — parents, community members and students — after their Palestinian afterschool educator went on a viral rant against Jews last month.

Netizens have responded by making petitions against the self-described substitute teacher, calling for the school to fire her, and demanding that the school make a public statement condemning their educator’s antisemitism.

“An investigation is not enough. What we need from River City Science Academy is accountability. Accountability means being transparent not just with the media, but to the Jewish taxpayers of Florida that help fund this school” one netizen wrote on Instagram.
...
The controversy began when Jaden Salameh, a Florida TikToker and self described K-12 teacher uploaded a video to TikTok titled “My controversial opinions that are 100% correct” on August 6th.
...
In her video — which has now been viewed over 372,000 times — Jaden Salameh argues a litany of antisemitic tropes. “There’s one group of people who own literally everything,” “they own the banking system, the White House, the legislative, executive, judicial branch.”

“We send all of our money to this country,” she claims, adding that Israel was “literally curated out of thin air.”

River City Science Academy is a multi-campus PUBLIC charter school.

I get proper procedure, , but she published her bigotry on TikTok. What's to "investigate"? Get her the bleep away from students immediately, and out the door with boot prints on her @$$ and an app for UEI.
