It would be hilarious if it weren’t quite so serious and these ‘scientists’ did not hold virtually the entire western world in thrall to their pseudoscientific rantings re. a mythical ‘climate crisis’ which can be solved only by the insane Net Zero carbon agenda, a policy which is batshit crazy on
Dr al Jaber-a breath of fresh air as the verbal emissions steadily rise in Dubai.
Why should we take seriously the effusions of the likes of the billionaires and millionaires who flew by private jet to lecture the plebs on imminent doom?
HM the K, PM Sunak and Foreign Sec 'Call me Dave'. each flew separately in private jets to the country which hosts an artificial ski slope.
You couldn't make this up. The UK's rapid social, political and economic decline is put aside while our entitled movers and shakers issue instructions and warnings from the latest luxury shindig.
Just the shift in name from "global cooling" to "climate change" exposes the panic mongers. They can't be wrong. Climate's going to change.
My youngest brother is a geology prof at a university. He says we're living right now in a cold barren climate. I used to work in infrared remote sensing for NASA. Temperature measurements are not that easy to make accurately. But there is big, big research money in panic. So many academics will be out of research funds if we're not terrified of climate change.
The Sultan is totally correct. Real science says that atmospheric CO2 has negligible global warming effect and abandoning fossil fuels will indeed force us back to medieval living conditions. The alarmists plucked the supposedly critical 2C global warming figure out of thin air in the first place, never mind their precious 1.5C.
I posted years ago that the alarmists had "jumped the shark" with their utterly infeasible 1.5C special report. It's sad that so many of the general public still haven't cottoned on that they are being horribly abused by our puppet politicians in pushing these destructive targets: https://edmhdotme.wpcomstaging.com/the-case-against-net-zero-co2-emissions-2/.

I had a fun conversation with an old friend who was visiting earlier this weekend. I took out my reporter's notebook and asked him to list all the many ways that the climate crisis had affected him, or any other person, animal or plant he had personal experience of.
I teased him slightly, saying that we'd obviously need a fresh page to accommodate the vast number of phenomena he was personally aware of.
After he acknowledged that he couldn't name anything at all, I asked him why, as a rational, modern, secular human, who doesn't believe in sky fairies or other "just trust me, bro" other-worldly gibberish, he had extended his trust to a modern incarnation of a clairvoyant doom-cult?
Just what exactly did he think were the negative implications of warmer winter nights, longer growing seasons, record plant/crop productivity and shrinking deserts?
His response was to congratulate me on constructing a very good "narrative", and then to invent a brand new apocalyptic version of the doom-cult involving doom-deniers being forced to accept reality at the end of world.
This is the problem nowadays. People like your friend (who probably watches TV and reads newspapers and other mainstream media) have been trained to think that all challenges to their world view are competing "narratives", invented by the challengers themselves. Some are good, some not so good, but none of them have that intrinsic legitimacy which their own narrative uniquely possesses, on account of the fact that it is rooted in undeniable truth and written in stone by the Gods of Science. The fact is, we all have narratives; some are grounded more by hard facts, data, science, logic, rational thought, other narratives draw their inspiration from the fairies and the 'climate crisis' narrative is a prime example of the latter.
Don't you think all the braying and chest-beating about "the environment" is guilt? People are living so comfortably, they need to beat themselves with a flagellum of "overpopulation" panic, "climate change" responsibility, "species on the verge of extinction" sorrow, to feel better about going home to heated apartments and food delivered to them by Door Dash. I was born in 1954 before everyone was 100 lb overweight, Americans didn't look like a flotilla of beached whales, and the center acreage in supermarkets wasn't paved with ready-made cookies and chips. And since about the late 60s, all I've ever heard is: mankind is bad (sorry, I still say "mankind", not "humanity"), Nature is good, we all ought to die to be nicer to animals and plants. We really have become stupider. That's my true worry.
Belief in the AGW hoax has topped out and is now receding, much to the disgust of the Guardian.
"Concern about climate change shrinks globally as threat grows, survey shows
Fewer than half of those questioned in global poll believe climate change poses a ‘very serious threat’
Concerns about climate change shrank across the world last year, with fewer than half of those questioned in a new survey believing it posed a “very serious threat” to their countries over the next 20 years.
Only 20% of people in China, the world’s biggest polluter, said they believed that climate change was a very serious threat, down 3 percentage points from the last survey by Gallup World Risk Poll in 2019.
Globally, the figure fell by 1.5 percentage points to 48.7% in 2021. The survey was based on more than 125,000 interviews in 121 countries.
Whenever I want to know how to think about something, I consult The Guardian. I read carefully what they have to say, and then adopt the opposite position. It's never failed.

Plot twist.
A Muslim president turns out to be the most sensible and educated one of ALL our global "leaders".
😂😂

Al Jaber vs. Mary Robinson.
Truth vs. Climate Karen.

I ended up simply questioning why I bother.

Bet he took multiple cobid jabs, too.
Oh yes indeed.
I think he takes an I'm-not-qualified / safety-in-numbers approach to such issues.

It's on its way out, and the utterances of Sultan Al Jaber will accelerate its decline.
