They always call these things historic even though they do virtually nothing, except provide a forum for tens of thousands of climate cultists to take fossil fueled trips and hobnob while taking selfies and eating well, often paid by governments, companies, and groups
Historic climate deal does the ‘bare minimum’ as the world warms, burns and floods
If there was ever a year that called for bold global action on climate change, 2023 was it.
In what will likely go down as the warmest year on record — one rife with catastrophic floods, scorching heat waves, devastating wildfires and enduring drought — leaders from nearly 200 countries gathered to chart a path forward in the fight against climate change.
After more than two weeks of tense negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP28, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, representatives from 198 countries agreed Wednesday to “transition away” from fossil fuels.
It was a historic deal but one that once again fell short for many climate activists, who saw it as further evidence that efforts to address climate change are moving too slowly and are being compromised by fossil fuel interests.
Former Vice President Al Gore called the agreement an “important milestone” but added that acknowledging the role that the burning of fossil fuels has played in the climate crisis is “the bare minimum we need and is long overdue.”
This is the guy who sold his failing TV network to Al Jazeera, which is essentially owned by a country who’s biggest economic sector is fossil fuels. It’s hard to take 90K climahypocrites seriously
Skepticism of what comes next is understandable. The COP agreement’s lack of a concrete plan to eliminate the use of fossil fuels adds to growing concern that the big-picture moves necessary to avoid drastic environmental consequences are coming up short. Sure, the rise of clean energy technology and broader social awareness of global warming has spurred some optimism, but many environmentalists stress that these developments could mean little without a drastic reduction in how much carbon dioxide is pumped into the atmosphere.
Do you know what happens next? First world nations will attempt to force their middle and working class citizens to give up fossil fuels, and those citizens will see their cost of living skyrocket. 3rd world nations will get lots of sweet, sweet, no-strings-attached climate cash. Oh, and lots of coal energy plants from China and Russia, while China and India build even more in their own nations. At what point do those in the 1st world rebel and say “no mas”?
The Earth is warming as a result of CO2 emissions from the United States, Europe, Russia, China and India. The US and Europe, in fact, the developed nations have cut their CO2 emissions while China and India have increased their emissions, per capita and obviously, per nation. Overall, the rate of global emissions increase has slowed but not flattened.
China is working toward non-coal sources for electricity but has far to go.
But when? Anyway, the US, Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada are making progress. China and India are not.
once again Elwood diverges into the fake BS of analysts/experts who are experts in exactly nothing except from once they draw their paychecks.
There are so many weak minds who have been conditioned to believe every crappy cultish thing that comes down the path they all happen to be Democrats for some crazy reason in America.
Elwood can men have babies? When does life begin Elwood? Is homosexuality normal or is it a mental problem? Are all races exactly the same and do they have the same talents and abilities? How can you possibly put somebody on the Supreme Court to make life and death decisions who can’t tell you what a woman is. Especially when she’s a woman herself?
If 2 million more votes were cast in 2020 then the number of people registered to vote was there fraud? Now if 20,000 more were cast was there fraud? Do you honestly believe that the 2020 election was fair and square? And if so why not let’s have an inquisitive inquiry into it in order to audit the results?
You left this Sir so afraid of Donald Trump that you would sooner destroy the Republic then allow him to even run for president. You’re doing everything in your power to take him off the ballot. Is that your version of democracy? Democracy means if you want to elect Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin president you have the right to do so that’s democracy. That’s why we keep telling you democracy sucks. Especially when you have weak minded people like yourself voting. Anybody who believes that humans with our current technical abilities can change the climate of the earth is a freaking moron and should not be permitted to vote.
And even the minimal promises made won’t be kept!
How can it be “historic” when they do it every year? That’s like saying Burning Man 2023 is “historic”.
It is incredibly scary how the world has become worse sheeple then they ever were prior to the internet.
It is mindboggling how the world continues to hook up their secrets to the internet and then trust in 25 digit UNBREAKABLE PASSWORDS only to have some guy bought and paid for to hook up a thumb drive inside said institution, download everything and then shove it up his ass to leave the building unscathed.
We are without a doubt the stupidest species in the universe. Certainly the most self deluded and I am not even referring to dems or repubs or commies but to the species itself. Most people in this world are just trying to survive and will kiss any ass that feeds them.
However….speaking of getting fed…..3.2 percent COLA….you have to be kidding me. I priced 10 itmes last year on the first of December and wrote it down. Went shopping this year at the same store and the prices of those grocery items had gone up 18.6 percent.
Interestingly enough Gasoline in many places has come down. So I imagine they are using gas prices when they are LOW to figure COLA and ignore them when they are high. The problem as we all know is paying 18-21 bucks an hour for menial labor in the past done by High schoolers now demand 401k, health, dental, vision, retirement, disability etc…etc…etc……causing prices to skyrocket beyond 3.2 percent and they will NEVER EVER COME DOWN.
not surprising the most anticipated MOVIE in years is C I V I L W A R scheduled to come out in a couple months. No surprise there. None at all.

Maybe it’s time to buy a Sig Sauer MCX-SPEAR277 for protecting against marauding rebels! And several 20 rd mags.
Chicken Little Man
In what will likely go down as the warmest year on record —
ON RECORD????
Does that mean that the “record” is not known??
Why yes. Yes it does.
