Here’s the thing: climate cultists are setting the stage so that when we don’t really see any difference in the global temperature from the drastic reduction in CO2 output they can say “but, this is going to get bad”. It will be interesting to see what happens in the urban areas due to changes in the urban heat island effect thanks to less smog. Anyhow, this is from the official propaganda arm of the United Nations
Fall in COVID-linked carbon emissions won’t halt climate change – UN weather agency chief
“This drop of emissions of six per cent, that’s unfortunately (only) short-term good newsâ€, said Professor Petteri Taalas, World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Secretary-General, in reference to a 5.5 to 5.7 per cent fall in levels of carbon dioxide due to the pandemic, that have been flagged by leading climate experts, including the Center for International Climate Research.
Once the global economy begins to recover from the new coronavirus, WMO expects emissions to return to normal.
“There might even be a boost in emissions because some of the industries have been stoppedâ€, the WMO head cautioned.
Latest data from WMO published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, on 22 April, indicates that carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rose to new records last year.
Levels of carbon dioxide were 18 per cent higher from 2015 to 2019 than the previous five years, according to WMO’s Global Climate 2015-2019 report.
If that is the case, and CO2, excuse me, carbon pollution, is the control knob, why wasn’t there a big spike in temperatures, rather than in the hundreds of a degree?
The gas “remains in the atmosphere and oceans for centuries. This means that the world is committed to continued climate change regardless of any temporary fall in emissions due to the Coronavirus epidemicâ€, the report states, with data indicating that CO2 concentrations are on track “to reach or even exceed 410 ppm by the end of 2019â€.
The forecasted fall in carbon emissions is mirrored by decreases in levels of common air pollutants from car exhausts and fossil fuel energy, such as nitrous oxide (N2O) particles.
“Their lifetime is typically from days to weeks, so the impact is seen more rapidlyâ€, Professor Taalas said. “But these changes in the carbon emissions, they haven’t had any impact on climate so far.â€
See? Because of your past carbon badness, things won’t get better because it stays up there. But, doesn’t that mean that as some falls, temps should come down, according to official Climate Cult dogma?
In its latest report warning of the impacts of climate change, the UN agency confirmed that the last five years were the hottest on record.
This warming has been uneven, with Europe seeing the highest change in the last decade (of around +0.5C, or 32.9F) and South America experiencing the least change.
Hmm, might this have more to do with land use and the UHI, rather than anything global? Doesn’t matter, they have Excuses.
Remember how Jeffery was pontificating that remdesvir was the answer to our prayers (not necessarily his)?
Guess who’s wrong again?
And it looks like Trump was right, after all.
PS Funny how Jeffery said Trump claimed “absolute authority”, but is letting the GA guv take his shot.
98% of his COVID-19 patients have survived and improved using the drug combination.
BUH….BUH…..BUT two (2) Percent DIED!!!!!…….Its a failure.
HIDE. Close up shop, turn out the lights.
Till when?
Till November sir. Till November.
Klem
The VA completed the largest clinical test yet on that drug
It showed no benefit and a higher death rate
Did you read that ?
Did you read how flawed it was?
Johnny retard only reads outrageous headlines.
Lolgf
HAHAHA!!! The “largest” study? This ‘large’ study was of 638 older people with pre existing health issues. The ‘study’ was NOT peer reviewed and only published to some website. But, of course, this doesn’t matter to you. You want these treatments to fail. You want people to die. All so you can say “see, orange man bad”. Sickening.
Guess who’s wrong again?
Sibley? tRump? Barr? Hannity? TEACH?
We don’t recall anything claiming remdesivir “was the answer to our prayers”. Sounds like Sibley is a liar.
PS – Funny how tRump claimed “absolute authority” but stopped after it was explained to him that he didn’t. He encouraged governors to “open” their states. Now he criticizes them. Classic trumpunist. Poor Sibley.
Well Teach
No it doesn’t “stay up there” don’t you remember it dissolves into water acidifies it and later eventually can turn into calcium carbonate and solidifies into rock
Teach do you remember the name of that type of rock? That was high school Earth Science
Did you see where he’s quoting your guys?
On the continuing increase in atmospheric CO2, TEACH ejects:
TEACH: If that is the case, and CO2, excuse me, carbon pollution, is the control knob, why wasn’t there a big spike in temperatures, rather than in the hundreds of a degree?
Look at CO2 levels vs ocean heat content.

50 center uses data from scientists bought and paid for by CHINA.
https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate…
Sea surface temperature increased during the 20 th century and continues to rise. From 1901 through 2015, temperature rose at an average rate of 0.13°F per decade (see Figure 1). Sea surface temperature has been consistently higher during the past three decades than at any other time since reliable observations began in 1880 (see Figure 1).
OH THE HORROR!!!!!!
.13 degrees F in 114 years. I suggest Elwood you go back to The CHINA SCHOOL OF BULLSHIT and come up with some better analysis of global warming.
We all know a couple things.
Most scientists are paid by China to rig the weather.
Most 50 centers are selfish people that love money more than facts.
China wants the world to stop using fossil fuels which translates to POWER and end capitalism. They spend billions each year drumming up the masses against the West for daring to destroy the planet….while they themselves havent seen the stars in 2 decades because THEY are the ones destroying the planet.
Get real 50 center. Pretty much everything you say in misdirection and false with just enough truth to sound like you have a clue which we all know you do not.
Care to google us up the second graph and explain exaclty what 10 to the 22nd joules means? Exactly. That graph looks pretty dastardly. I would say its the end of the world as we know it. So please. entertain us with your knowledge because we know your an expert on pretty much any subject on the planet with but a few keystrokes of google.
