Russia’s friendliest bank will help BRICS implement the “climate agenda”
Exciting news from COP28!
Riley Waggaman
The 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, better known as COP28, is heating up in Dubai. As expected, the conferencegoers are in unanimous agreement that renewable energy scams are very good and carbon is very, very bad.
Sorry for stating the obvious, but Russia’s delegation at COP28 includes a team of elite ESG grifters eco-heroes from Sberbank. It is maybe not so surprising that the bank that created a “Russian branch of the World Economic Forum’s climate initiative” in 2020 is now spearheading Russian “carbon regulation” at a UN conference dedicated to making life insufferable.

Here are some news reports from Russian state media:

Via TASS:
Climate change, according to Sberbank estimates, will annually cause damage to the Russian economy in the amount of 580 billion rubles. This was announced by the bank’s senior vice president for ESG Tatyana Zavyalova.
“Being closely involved in assessing climate risks, we preliminary estimate the damage from climate change in Russia from 2023 to 2027 at an average of 580 billion rubles annually,” she said, speaking at the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28).
Zavyalova also noted that for some regions most susceptible to climate change, annual losses can range from 5% to 6% of gross product. In her opinion, the issue of implementing effective climate policy in Russia and the world is “increasingly moving to the economic plane.”

Sber proposed creating a platform within BRICS for discussing the climate agenda among members of the association. This was stated by the bank’s senior vice president for ESG (environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance) Tatyana Zavyalova at the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28).
“In order to create an appropriate platform for resolving interstate issues of managing the climate agenda, for the development of transboundary projects, synchronizing approaches to carbon regulation and developing joint standards for the energy transition, Sber proposes to create a BRICS climate council,” she said.
Sberbank has been very busy over the past few years creating clot-shots, cattle-tags, biometric payment systems, and so much more, as part of the bank’s core mission of creating a safe and convenient “client path” for each and every Russian citizen.
Sber’s friendly CEO even takes time out of his busy schedule to chat with Vladimir Putin about how he wants to use AI to transform every aspect of Russian society.
So it’s only natural that Sber should also be intimately involved in the creation of a “BRICS climate council” charged with synchronizing “carbon regulation”. This is what a bank run by a friendly man would do.
WATCH YOUR BACK, CARBON! GREF AND BRICS ARE COMING FOR YOU!

Excellent Riley. “ in unanimous agreement that” sounds like the 97% consensus agreement like
global cooling/global warmingnow repositioned as climate change.Of course they are linked. Simply because the same WEF motherWEFfers – coined by John Waters] decided that is the case.
I think it’s wonderful how the international financial institutions are using their undoubted talents in…um…er… how can I put it….. confidence trickery in such a good cause.
They make money, and they are good at it. You cant take that away from them.

Russia’s friendliest bank will help BRICS implement the “climate agenda” This is the type of shit you would expect from the BBC.

Well when instruments for measuring temperatures not left where it’s hot ie: airports and near to the ground of course anyone who averages these temperatures can say the Earth is 10 degrees hotter when in fact it could be down to a hot day and lots of air traffic. This false promises and the world is hotter will done streamed on MSM like there is no tomorrow. Snoop said it best for Drop It Like It’s hot…when the WEF tried to get at you drop em like hot….(made that last bit up 🙂 )
Like Covid, like the controlled collapse of national borders and national currencies, and like the planned war in the Ukraine, what is happening in the Mid East most certainly is another orchestrated step in preparing us for the alleged “necessity” of a new world order of top-down kabalist controls, which you can call “unipolar” or “multipolar” depending on your point of view, and depending on what powers are actually being usurped and ceded from our debt-rigged nations.

Danny Haiphong intervievs Pepe Escobar. The older generation handing the torch of protest and regeneration to the new. Pepe reviews the moral and economic decline of the West, and foresees the rise of BRICS: his native country Brazil. Russia, India, China and South Africa — soon to be joined by Iran and Saudi Arabia. With special reference to Russia’s mobilization of International resistance to the unspeakable horror — 80 years after Russia put an end to Hitler’s genocide in Europe — of now seeing Zionazis ramping up a new genocide in Palestine.
KATYN ???
In 1938 Russia offered Poland, England and France a united front against Nazi Germany. All three rejected the offer. Instead, acting on the advice of Britain and France, Poland colluded with Hitler in the invasion of CzechoSlovakia, and Poland received a small slice from Hitler as a reward. What followed this decision of Poland, Britain and France everybody knows — starting with the invasion of Poland by an emboldened Nazi Germany, with the loss of millions of Polish lives, and the installation of Auschwitz on Polish soil. Plus the execution of some Polish officers when the Red Army arrived to de-Nazify Poland and liberate the miserable survivors of Auschwitz.
Karma is a bitch.
And why did Germany go into Poland ay???
Poland was a primer. Lost territory and bridge to a New World Order…..ups…where have I heard this before.
The Treaty of Versailles converted Danzig from a German provincial capital into a League of Nations protectorate subject to numerous strictures established for the benefit of Poland. The great preponderance of the citizens of Danzig had never wanted to leave Germany, and they were eager to return to Germany in 1939.
Putin cannot continue to look the other way and pretend the US dont exist and just do whatever he like.
The United States are here right on OffG and in every spot and place on this planet, and everywhere in Space too.
US is more powerful, richer and more wealthy and influential than ever, and we are NOT in moral and economic decline, and Putin know it!
Sberbank. We do it ALL for you. Even enforcing the will of COP-OUT 28 is for you, after all. 😂
Amazing stuff, Riley. Thanks for being the not-run-of-the-mill “alternative” media, doing the investigative work, and not fearing to post your findings out of some concern that “this just promotes the interests of the empire and enemies of Russia.” Refuse false binaries!
All tarred with the same brush; should be tarred and feathered
There are no experts on here. You don’t believe in global warming. Fine. Some people don’t believe in leprechauns. You can believe or disbelieve anything you want. But, on the other hand, I would like a serious answer, from a serious expert, to a serious question. The defenders of AGW theory have this to say: You (anti-AGWians) say that the heat island effect makes all of the climate station data wrong. The climate stations are all reporting higher temps than are actually the case. OK. Given. But notice. None, none of the climate stations are reporting lower temperatures. They are all consistently higher temperatures. And so, there are no urban cold islands. Weather stations are reporting consistent temperatures, consistently heightened. Moreover–and this is the cake-taker–those consistently higher temperatures are increasing over the years. They may be off; they may be too high. But, nevertheless, they are going up. Explain, if… Read more »
The better statement is we don’t believe anything can be done about it, it is an act of God, and only God can reverse it.
Humans are wasting to much time not preparing and instead fighting mother nature.
Well, that’s a fine, honest answer. Thanks. You are actually accepting the truth of the GW part of AGW, but rejecting the A, as I read you. Good. Fine. It would be nice to have some proof that A. the globe is definitely warming, but B. it’s caused by something other than human activity. It would also be nice to know what is causing it, and why you think it’s that something else, and not human activity. Mark my words, I’m not a great believer in AGW. I’m just modest. I admit I have no clue. I am not a science major. The weather has certainly changed around here. I just saw a grasshopper in December, and the lawns are still green. This never ever ever happened in 1960. Or any time before that in human memory. And then there are those who reject the GW part, as well as… Read more »
“I’m just modest. I admit I have no clue. I am not a science major.”
Most science majors have no clue either. But one physicist points out that CO2 is a plant food, that global warming is self limiting because warm seas generate more cloud which generates more shade, and the lushest junglis and the biggest dinosaurs thrived when CO2 was ten times higher than it is today.
Whatever you do, don’t buy Carbon Credits from Al Gore. The man parks 3 gas-guzzling SUV’s in his back yard: one His, one Hers and one for the nanny. .
You have not answered my question. You answered your own question, which I didn’t ask.
I will answer you why there is grasshoppers in December: Because we change, you change, I change, we get older, cosmos change, the Audience in the theater change all the time, the commenters change, everything change! You dont believe me? Well, I can document it form the horse mouth itself. IPCC the idiots of consensus who claimed computer models showed clima change and CO2 in all their public reports the last 30-40 years. “In climate research and modeling, we should recognize that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.” (TAR, p.774.) IPCC Third Assesment Report. year 2001. I repeat: a coupled non-linear chaotic system which changes from day to day. There is therefore only 1. basic universal rule on this planet: Adaption. When it rains you take your raincoat on when you go out. What happens… Read more »
I recently watched a YouyaTube video with a Norwegian (I think) geologist explaining that ice core samples show we didn’t even start recording global temps until around the coldest point in the last 100,000 years, and we’re still coming out of the little ice age with peaks and dips in a generally upward trend. And it was warmer in the medieval warm period than it is now. I also saw a TV program about one of the oldest peat bogs in Scotland, they held up a peat core sample which showed there had been a pine forest there about 1000 years ago, but then it had got warmer and all the trees had died, now it’s just a peat bog, but they made no connections with the Corporate Marketing Warming which we’re being beaten down with now. Must have been caused by all the wild animals farting?
Who believes the climate isn’t warming? Who believes atmospheric CO2 isn’t increasing? Judging by Covid when global Anthropogenic CO2 emissions fell by 14%, it was undetectable at Manu Loa, CO2 just kept rising. Can you count for me, please, how many undersea volcanoes, vents and fissures there are on the world’s sea beds? Then count them again following the next slight tectonic plate movement? You might then figure out where some of that CO2 is coming from. Can you find for me, please, a single, credible, empirical, replicable, scientific study which demonstrates that anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 is warming the planet? I’ll save you the bother, there are none. There should be innumerable versions to justify changing the course of human history, but no, not a one. You are aware, are you not, that there was barely a handful of weather stations in the world between 1850 and 1900. The Stevenson… Read more »
It doesnt matter. What matters is does your lecture make money? No!
They are laughing all the way to the bank, and you cant afford a piece of bread with all your raised finger pointing out this and that. 😎
You still didn’t answer my question. You just sort of vomited a lot of talking points. Try to be reasonable instead of name-calling. Why is the average temperature, as measured by weather stations, nevertheless going up?
A new postulate. Where is your evidence? Time frame, measure points.
You have fingers. Let them do the walking all over the Google. Some wise man once said: “I am not your google monkey.”
Let’s not forget, and this has been pointed out numerous times by numerous commenters, the climate has fluctuated constantly throughout earth’s long history, long before the appearance of humans, and long before the speck of time which constitutes our modern technological era. A2
I don’t doubt it. Still doesn’t answer my specific question: the pro-AGWers say that the measured temps are all rising. (On average, of course.). The weather stations may be all situated in heat islands, and yet the direction of their measurements, nevertheless, is ever up.
I am not saying I do not believe what you are saying. I am saying that no-one has addressed my specific question to my satisfaction.
The point is, surely, perhaps no one can address your question satisfactorily. At this point, with this little data, we can’t know for sure. All the dire CC warnings hang on a promise of extreme effects yet to occur, based on computer models which many claim are of questionable accuracy and transparency.
When we see the Green agenda used to promote other agendas, many argue this is a very good reason to remain healthily sceptical. A2
So – you’ve figured that out.Now – “Are hoomins causing it ?”
1 – The earth HAS warmed very slightly over the last 100 years or so, due largely to the end of the Little Ice Age. No serious person denies this. What’s being denied is any idea this is unusual or dangerous
2 – The amount of warming – about a degree at most – is statistically very tiny though the graphs try to make it look larger. It was actually significantly warmer just a few hundred years ago and, overall, the earth is currently much cooler than for 80% of its existence.
3 – many weather station records DO show either no warming or some cooling. Many parts of the continental US for example, the African land mass, the global south and Antarctica (minus the Peninsula).
Where did you get the idea they don’t?
Thanks for some actual facts.
“Speech is free but facts are expensive” — A nuclear fusion researcher.
“They go up and up”.
Actually, temperatures go up and down; they go up and down in your town, and they go up and down over the Earth as a whole; and nobody can predict them: except statistically, within a guesstimate of “so many degrees of uncertainty up or down”.
I won’t say, Don’t worry; because that will only make you worry.
how can AGW ever be accurately assessed given the extent of geoengineering that’s taking place?
You´re missing the key variable – time… from the beginning of time.
Bullshit.
“None, none of the climate stations are reporting lower temperatures” – provide the raw data supporting this and then we can talk.
Vegetation is expanding, crop yields are seeing record-high numbers, and even the Great Barrier Reef had record-setting coral cover last year. The world is also getting a little whiter — with polar bear levels increasing.

DESPERATE ATTEMPTS TO MANIPULATE TEMPERATURE DATA EXPOSED
They did a study, proved themselves wrong, and tried to hide it
https://thegreatclimatecon.com/desperate-attempts-to-manipulate-temperature-data-exposed/
Anecdote: And where I live, in a sub-tropical region, winters have become cooler and longer over the past few years than is usual for this region. Summer temperatures, when summer arrives, are the same as always.
It doesn’t matter if it’s warmer or colder. It’s weather.
Historically, ice core samples show much wider temperature swings in the past, so any minuscule changes noted in the last century or two are irrelevant.
And the temperature swings are definitely NOT due to adding carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And fossil fuels aren’t even fossils. They’re abiotic, they renew over time and can’t contribute to surface temperature changes. The jet-stream and currents, electromagnetic pole shifts and solar cycles and solar activity are what cause surface temp changes. None of which are controllable by man.
The temps allegedly recorded in the last three decades are rigged anyway, due to NOAA cherry picking data points that support their fraudulent claims.
Irrespective of whether the temperature is rising (and it isn’t), or even whether or not there is a rise in co2 levels and that caused by human activity… co2 has no effect on global temperature.
The war on Nitrogen is a bit daft when you consider that Nitrogen makes up four fifths of the world’s atmosphere…

The existential threat to Humanity is, and has always been, the unregulated, the inadequately tax-regulated rich. Their excess wealth & income is the engine that tricks commoners into allowing them also the authority to decide our future. It’s authoritarian-over-obedients based society. Their modality is war, conquest and always more, when there is no more. Until we cage and leash the rich from accumulating the wealth-authority driving us off a cliff, we’re goners. Egalitarianism and collective self-rule is Humanity’s only future.
I downloaded an interesting ebook with a societal concept of no taxation!
That is exactly how globalism and the 4IR is being sold to us.
Are you from WEF?
Seriously? No. Each side of the false binary has solutions within their policy statements. The problem is how the elite class implements. They implement every policy prescription as a profit engine for their class. The real solutions are common sense implementation of public policy designed by the public, for the public benefit. This is not rocket science. We the People need to propose a list of policy solutions and hire the gov’t supervisory staff that will get ‘er done,
Bingo 🔥
That’s not the problem. That’s a symptom of other problems within the Order Out Of Chaos rule. The problem is the hierarchy structures in place aren’t lawful! They have been in place for millennia using various forms such as religions, monarchies, or Govern-Ment (mind control) throughout the ages. That’s HOW THE RICH GET RICHER AND MORE POWERFUL AND THE REST ARE FARMED AND CULLED and forced to be obedient. Through literal threat of force. Then there’s the order following within these unlawful structures, corporate, government etc which allows all the evil and iniquity to take place. Then there’s the deliberate brainwashing, secrecy, conspiracy, lies and mind control using media, secret societies, secret signs and symbols, occulted knowledge and mass indoctrination disguised as education, and the trickery, fraud and deception within governments, the monetary and trade system, the legalese system and the Temple Bar, fake science, fake history and the fake… Read more »
Ukraine could bomb Sberbank’s main centre’s and do us all a favor?
Sadly in this regard they play for the same team….
Though I prefer to ignore them out of existence….
They all play for the same team. The fighting only ever injures the cattle, not the faux leaders or their puppet masters.
They all play for the same team is absolutely correct.
War is fought by men who don’t know each other, for men who do know each other but never go to war.
Life on earth would not be possible without carbon. This is in part due to carbon’s ability to readily form bonds with other atoms, giving flexibility to the form and function that biomolecules can take, such as DNA and RNA, which are essential for the defining characteristics of life: growth and replication. They are taking away life not promoting it. These people are sick, they need more jabs to destroy themselves. I don’t want any part of it.
Thank God, someone’s finally talking about the dangers of carbon.
I was beginning to think pesticides, chemical run-off, cloud seeding, chem trails, fracking, emf’s, military/ industrial, and water and air pollution were the problem.
I can rest easy now.
Let’s not forget that nuclear death ☠️ (oops ‘fuel’) cycle.
Oops. Silly me.
Oxygen is a deadly poison. When plants began to absorb Carbon and release Oxygen into the air, Oxygen poisoning led to the Great Extinction of Species.
Just breathe and be grateful for the gift.

We have to shift our money creation from oil and ridiculous stones to central bank e-money.

Looks like window dressing by SBer bank to me. Keep the climate woke in the West happy with words, but continue your own path. At-least that is what 3/4 of all nations do, the wake ones.
Putin is out of the WEF web, like a few more leaders.
Careful there. Don’t go and be contradicting the wily Waggamanic as he spearheads his insufferable crusade against that hateful grifter Putin.
See it as an intellectual challenge. Waggaman is challenging the onesided picture of Putin as the good cop.
Maybe Putin is, but there is nothing wrong in trying to challenge the good cop status. Waggaman’s reference are due official documents and laws.
Russian stories have all the same numerological markers used in the West. 580? 5+8=13, the most powerful number in the Kabbalah and the Death card in Tarot (signifying transition more than simply death). 5 and 6? The two most powerful numbers in the esoteric tradition (Kubrick’s monoliths in ‘2001’ are 11ft high, Harry Potter is 11 letters and his wand was 11 inches, 9/11 was full of 11s etc etc). They never tire of it. Meanwhile, a Western corporation engages in a little revelation of the method: https://dumptheguardian.com/business/2023/dec/13/sainsburys-boss-sell-customers-nectar-card-data-tesco So-called loyalty cards are just bribes to harvest your data. Adverts are a feeble cover story. That data is building the social credit profile ready for when they go public that they’ve been doing that.

So that’s why I could never join any of their schemes. I’ve wondered about it for a long time.
They get you one way or another. But think about it, they SELL a persons private data.
They earn money to snitch their employee, their neighbour, family, anyone near.
I cant think of a more disgusting Judas 30 silver shekels scheme than that.
They turn everybody into Judas copies to show how much they hate Christ.
Banks?
They’re all the same:

An interesting chart on the site above, showing that counterfeiting is the most profitable ‘international crime’ (What the PTB refer to as crime anyway).
Could this be yet another reason why the Ruling Ghouls want to phase out cash?
I bet more Russians die from the cold every year than they do from the heat..
What are you trying to say, except stupid Russians, clever me?
I think he’s saying the Russians would probably welcome global warming with open arms … if only it were real.
I believe that’s you saying that, stupid.
More Swedish vikings, French frog eaters, Germans have died from the cold in Russia than Russians. 🤖 🤖 🤖 🤖 🤖 🤖 (Note what I did there? Sending a signal) 😇
If these Lowlifes could make a buck out of selling real estate inside Black holes, they would do it tomorrow.
This is what grifters do best Johnny, they would sell their grannies down the swanny for a few lousy bucks!
It must be a strange feeling knowing that the better you are at lying, the more money, status and power you will acquire.
Just imagine teachers at school saying: ‘Now children, today we are going to have a lying lesson. You need to learn to lie with a straight face, showing no remorse for telling porkies. You should learn to be aggressive toward those who tell the truth, for they will threaten your futures as professional liars.
Make sure you bully the truth-tellers in the playground, don’t invite them home and never invite them to your birthday parties’.
And just imagine a head teacher advertising the school as: ‘We prepare children for real life by giving them daily lessons in lying.’
50% of parents will be outraged and 50% will say: ‘if that’s what it takes to get ahead, bring it on!’
Lying, histrionics and sadism go with political “science”. Ask Kissinger if you can.
It depends on where you go to school. At elite schools, they teach lying.
“The greatest benefit of a Classical Education is, teaching the ruling classes to lie with gravitas.” — Robert Graves, The White Goddess.
I had to laugh at what the ESG woman said.
Perhaps a rise in temperatures might mean they don’t sell quite so much gas each year.
But if any country should be welcoming a spot of global warming, it is surely Russia.
Clearly they know it’s all a hoax.
The “multipolar world order” just means you’ll get shafted from multiple directions.
That suits me as long as the USofAs is relegated to cleaning latrines in 4th and 5th world “shitholes”, employing everyone of their citizens above the age of 18 in the Herculean task.
The latrine cleaners’ hands will be tied behind their backs. They will be requested to use their tongues and noses to make sure all surfaces are shiny and new.
This will happen, believe me.
Up to about 10 years ago, Putin sounded agnostic on the topic, suggesting it might help his country. But the methane volcanoes on the tundra and continental shelf continue.
What makes you think the world is warming? Why do you think the PTB stopped calling it Global Warming TM and switched to Climate Change TM? Because the PTB just could not scare enough people when global warming just wasn’t evident in their daily lives. Climate Change on the other hand: the climate is always changing, it can vary 20 degrees in from day to night, from rain to sunshine. They want you to be afraid of something so normal that it happens every day.
I don’t!
As I say, it’s all a hoax and they know it.
Exactly.
Obama warned of rising sea levels then buys a beach front property a foot above sea level.
Elites warning about emissions yet fly on private jets.
Massive scam -money, power and control.
Like they made most people afraid of the common cold.
Indeed. They want you to afraid of living – as in Giorgio Agamben’s “bare life.”
Thanks very much for drawing attention to Giorgio Agamben, of whom I had not heard. I liked his witty remark that, having studied the German philosopher and Nazi sympathizer Heidegger in his formative years, he was grateful to the Marxist philosopher Walter Benjamin for “rescuing me from Heidegger”. Wickipedia supplies the following brief clip on “bare life” as a sufficient reason for someone’s existence and respect. If I understand “bare life” correctly, it seems to me the opposite of Schweizer’s “respect for life” (Thou shalt not swing thy cane to cut of the head of a dandelion) and likewise opposed to Buddha’s injunction against killing even the lowliest creature: “”What I call a form-of-life,” he explains, “is a life which can never be separated from its form, a life in which it is never possible to separate something like bare life.

But … but… Tom Larson … don’tcha know … HM King Charles said, before he became HM, and he said it twice, both times (or at least once, then again soon after) during our COV-19 lockdowns. HM said, said he: ‘Covid was caused by climate change.’
Clima change is a financial instrument and construct. So King Charles was right two times. ‘Covid bs WAS caused by climate change bs.’ Fixed.
