LAURA INGRAHAM: America will be footing the bill once again as China skates

Fox News host Laura Ingraham shares the implications of the United Nations declaring a "global climate emergency" on "The Ingraham Angle."

LAURA INGRAHAM: It's hot, hot, hot, alright. After all, we're in the middle of a season called summer. Now, fast-forward a few years, and imagine that one morning you wake up to cook breakfast, you turn on the stove and the gas doesn't work. And your living room is kind of cold, so you try to turn up the heat, but the thermostat won't go past 64. Then you're just so fed up. You jump in your car, you drive to get gas because the tank's empty, but every station you pull into, it's closed. Then an emergency bulletin comes across your cell phone saying that for the foreseeable future, Americans are instructed to limit travel to home and essential work and maybe medical appointments. Now, why is this happening? Because the UN has declared a global climate emergency — that's why. 

BIDEN WARNS CLIMATE CHANGE IS ‘GREATEST THREAT’ TO US SECURITY: ‘THIS IS NOT A JOKE’

Net zero by 2040? Wait, what's that I hear? China's laughing, yes. It obviously would never abide by any climate agreement that slowed its growth. But regardless, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is undeterred in his plans to set up a global climate body to force us into compliance. Now, much like we saw during COVID, they plan to invoke emergency powers based on flimsy science. The narrative is already being set. 

And plans are moving forward for an ultimate vote by 2024 that would essentially give the UN control over your lives. It would mean less freedom and less money for you and more power for the government, in this case, a global government. In September of 2024, right before a presidential election, the UN will host what's called a landmark "Summit of the Future." Member nations are planning to sign on to an agreement that will give the secretary general of the UN standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an emergency platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, sufficient severity and reach. Now, our friends over at the Federalist are very smart to raise the red flag here. The so-called emergency platform would give the UN the green light to "actively promote and drive an international response that places the principles of equity and solidarity at the center of its work."

Well, you know what that means: Watch your wallet and hide your children. America will be footing the bill once again as China skates along doing its own thing. "The Angle" two years ago tried to warn you that COVID lockdowns set the predicate for more to come. 

Shohei Ohtani hit with 'Come to Seattle' chants by Mariners fans at All-Star Game

The Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes have officially begun.

The starting pitcher — who leads the majors in home runs and OPS — is set to hit the free agent market upon season's end, and his deal is probably going to break the bank.

Of course, 30 teams want him on their team, but the Seattle Mariners fans really let him know they really want him.

As Ohtani dug into the batter's box for his first at-bat in the 2023 All-Star Game, T-Mobile Park erupted in "Come to Seattle" chants.

Seattle seems to always be a candidate for any Japanese superstar, Not only is it close in location to the country (relative to more eastward MLB cities), but Ichiro Suzuki made the most of his soon-to-be Hall of Fame career in the Pacific Northwest, so his influence doesn't need writing.

Ohtani is making $30 million this season, the highest salary ever for an arbitration-eligible player, surpassing Mookie Betts' $27 million for the 2020 season. 

His $24.5 million raise from last season is also the highest ever, and it's well-speculated he'll be the first $500 million player - some think he can even make $600 million.

The 29-year-old has more than lived up to expectations since he joined the major leagues in 2018. Dubbed the "Japanese Babe Ruth" when he arrived, he was named the American League Rookie of the Year with a .285 average and .925 OPS while pitching to a 3.31 ERA and striking out 11 batters per nine innings. He became the first player in MLB history to hit at least 20 home runs and strike out at least 60 batters in the same season.

BARRY BONDS SAYS HE 'BELONGS' IN COOPERSTOWN: 'WHY IS THE HALL OF FAME PUNISHING ME?'

Ohtani underwent Tommy John surgery before the 2019 season, which kept him from pitching that year. He suffered another injury in 2020 that limited him to pitching in just 1.2 innings.

But he was the unanimous AL MVP in 2021 with 46 homers — the third most in baseball — and 100 RBIs with a .965 OPS. He also recorded a 3.18 ERA, which was the eighth-best mark in the AL among pitchers with at least 130 innings thrown.

Last year, his 2.33 ERA was the sixth-best in baseball, while his .875 OPS was the 10th-highest in the majors, proving that the previous year was no fluke. If it weren't for Aaron Judge's race for a Triple Crown while tying Roger Maris for the most home runs in a single season by an American League player, Ohtani would have won the MVP again. Last season, he became the first player in MLB history to qualify for both the batting and ERA titles.

This season, he's the overwhelming favorite with his .302 average, 32 homers, and 1.050 OPS on offense, and 3.24 ERA, 11.8 K/9, and MLB-leading 6.0 H/9 on the mound.

With the trade deadline approaching later this month, and Ohtani's Los Angeles Angels likely to miss out on the postseason for the ninth straight season, his team certainly has a decision to make, as they risk losing maybe the most talented player ever for nothing. At the same time, trading such a player away also just seems preposterous.
