Chile cancels COP 25 The UN climate conference

SANTIAGO, CHILE – 11 JUNE 2011: Police stand guard during a violent protest
Chile hiked mass transit fares to try and cover the soaring costs imposed by its climate policies mandating a transition to wind and solar energy. Its people rioted.
Chilean President Sebastian Pinera just announced that his country is cancelling COP 25, the UN climate conference that was scheduled to take place in Santiago December 2 -13.
Chile also canceled APEC, the Asia Pacific Economic Conference that was to open November 16th and at which President Trump had hoped to sign a major accord with China.
The shocking cancellations come as Chile has been rocked by violent protests. It appears that Chile can no longer ensure the safety of international diplomats.
The cancellation of the UN climate conference is massively ironic as the riots in Chile were sparked by plans to hike public transit prices to keep up with higher energy costs from, as you’ve likely guessed, “green” energy.
