EDITORIAL: All climate agreements are a joke

Can you find Gambia on a globe? Either way, it is the only nation on Earth that is successfully living up to its commitments under the Paris accord on climate change.

That's how serious the Paris Agreement is — no one is living up to their commitments except for Gambia. Aren't you glad President Joe Biden's first act in office was to rejoin the accord?

...Usually, the most astounding thing about government actions on climate change is the way Western leaders live in denial. They pretend their own nations' emissions mean something when China continues to build coal-fired power plants and flatly refuses to participate meaningfully in emissions reduction. Speaking of which, China just rebuffed John Kerry's request that it undertake serious emissions reductions...

...But that's not the most striking thing. What is most striking is the arrogant idiocy of the world's leaders, who believe they can change the weather by signing treaties and talking to each other...

Let's have a meeting!

But they are a great way to bilk taxpayers, divide up the planet between bureaucrats, politicians and corporations, and make Al Gore rich off trading carbon credits.

And fly there on private jets!

Its been a a scam from day one. Plants take Co2 from the air and even expand their populations with increases of that gas.

[lizma2]

Dinosaur era had 5 times today’s CO2. Plants were huge.

And now that’s a bad thing?

[BiglyCommentary]

Gambia? They all run around in loin cloths and use wood fires to cook and heat which give off carbon dioxide. They are evil carbon emitters.

[newfreep]

If leftists would practice what they preach and stop exhaling their own CO2, the world would be a better place.

So now they want to say that if you're in denial of this threatening new climate change, you could be in denial of anything, and that's what makes skeptics and deniers so dangerous. "They", being those involved in the perpetuation of myth and misinformation and actual believers who tend to be wary of, if not hostile towards non-believers, skeptics and deniers. For humans to assume that our mere existence is now a threat to what sustains all of life on earth is folly in any language. It is all just talk, and if talk is all they have to go on then we can assume that in general, it's a piss-poor quality of meaning which they derive.

All Climate Change theories are based on MODELS.

Some dingbat professor draws a line on a chalkboard. The line invariably goes up.

Then other dingbat professors get together in seminars and use that line to tell us what the climate will be.

Hell, they can’t even tell us if it will rain next Tuesday, but their chalkboard line says we’ll all be burned to a crisp in 9.7 years.

They ignore important contributers like the sun, volcanos, ... and use their models to scare us. It’s all bogus quackery.

“If you want to reduce greenhouse emissions from electricity...Begin a long-term project to convert all or nearly all of the grid to nuclear power. No other method has ever worked or come close.”

Except that approach is NOT permitted by the treaties. So the author can try again.
