The “cop out” in Glasgow involved 30,000 delegates from 197 countries with over 400 VIPs arriving in private jets emitting massive carbon dioxide.
This was described by a Scottish MP as “rank hypocrisy”. The whole event was a waste of time and money to discuss a 20-year-old theory which has never been proved factually.
There is no proof that the earth is warming. Long-term predictions of warming based on minor, temporary and normal changes in temperature, using computer modelling, is shonky science.
If carbon dioxide raised air temperature, Jakarta, Delhi, Mumbai and Beijing would be vulnerable for humans.
In the last two years, three extreme cold weather events (in North America and Spain) recorded actual temperatures of more than minus 45 degrees celsius, over 50 deaths and millions of frozen water pipes.
“Earth scientists” and the media chose to ignore the factual evidence of non-warming.
Coal has been earth’s power source for hundreds of years. No warming has occurred in that time, so what is different now? The carbon dioxide emitted is absorbed by trees and plants, and oxygen is released for human and other life.
Without carbon dioxide, there would be no life on earth. This is proven basic science. Human activity has never had any effect on climate. Volcanic activity is the sole driver of climate.
While in Glasgow, world leaders should have become aware of the consequences of over-investment in “renewable energy”.
Recent lack of wind and sunshine have caused power shutdowns in Britain and Europe, and battery support has not been sufficient.
Wind and solar power are inherently unreliable and also are not powerful enough to make steel. Without steel, world economies would collapse. The world still needs coal.
