Since COP 26 is mostly devoid of facts, I will provide some basic information that can be used to answer the questions that follow.
Facts from the last 150 years:
CO2 atmospheric content has increased from around 280 PPM to over 410 PPM, up 40%.
The world population has increased from around 1.3 billion to around 8 billion, up over 500 percent.
Worldwide crude oil production has increased from around zero to over 95 million barrels per day. Up exponentially
The amount of coal and natural gas went up exponentially.
The amount of methane from cows and oil wells went up exponentially.
Worldwide cars and trucks on the road went from zero to over 1.4 billion.
Currently, statistics show that there is a general estimation of about 1.42 billion operational cars worldwide, including 1.06 billion passenger cars and 363 million commercial vehicles.
The number of buses, motorcycles, boats, combines, tractors, and road equipment powered by gasoline went from zero to hundreds of millions.
Asphalt and concrete roads went from around zero to tens of millions of miles.
The number of water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, power plants, skyscrapers, warehouses, and houses went up exponentially.
We have lawnmowers, edgers, snow-blowers, leaf-blowers, gas grills, air-conditioning, heating that have all been developed and most powered by fossil fuels.
We are told that all of the above substantially increases warming and threatens to destroy the Earth.
Historical climate data
Medieval warming period: from 950 to 1250. There have been many warming and cooling periods throughout the Earth's history caused by natural and cyclical activity. Temperatures in this period were similar to today.
Climate scientists now understand that the Medieval Warm Period was caused by an increase in solar radiation and a decrease in volcanic activity, which both promote warming. Other evidence suggests ocean circulation patterns shifted to bring warmer seawater into the North Atlantic.

I’ve always heard that in medieval times, Greenland was a green land, which is why that island was given that name.
Climate has changed throughout earth’s history. During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. How did all that ice melt, if not for global warming due to natural cycles?
CO2 is not a dangerous pollutant.
Everyone who believes it is should stop exhaling it immediately.
I really recommend that people read a book on natural history to gain some perspective on climate change and geological change. I have a book which focuses on the history of my area (the Puget Sound area), and its fascinating. As you say, during the last ice age (ending about 10,000 years ago) the ice where I am sitting was hundreds of feet thick. The north/south valleys here were carved out by that ice. Even more recently, just a few hundred years ago, a massive earthquake changed the elevation of Puget sound by about 20 feet.
Yes, co2 production is up ow, however, it still is nowhere near what it was I. The past when live thrived just fine contrary to the false claims of the left that we are at a tipping point of no return now. Co2 was over 1000 ppm in the past, life thrived, and it went down DESPITE the left claiming that the ‘tipping point’ of no return is much lower.
Our atmosphere, nearly 6 quadrillion tons worth of it, has only 0.00136% co2 by volume in it from man- nowhere near enough to cause climate change, nor enough to blanket blanket earth, and prevent warm air from dissipating.
Ice core samples prove that co2 always follows climate change, proving that co2 is not the driver of climate change, but rather climate change drives co2 levels in the atmosphere
There is a ton of evidence that co2 is not driving climate change
But none of it matters, because the world has bought the blatant demon Driven lie that man is causing c,I ate change, and nothing, not even facts, will dissuade people from believing that satanic lie
Bunch of hot air coming from that.
Same with th3 east coast/great lakes region. Covered in miles think ice I’ve read, some of it up to 3 miles thick.

How dare you ask for a guarantee that a gov’t program will actually accomplish what it set out do!!!
Look at the track record of those promoting the “solution” to man-made climate change....they fixed poverty, crime, homelessness while winning the war on drugs and the war on terror.
Plants live on CO2. We exhale CO2. Plants emit OXYGEN. We inhale Oxygen in order to survive. Any adolescent who pays attention in science class knows this.
If use of petroleum is banned what materials will be used to fabricate solar panels, servers and what will be used to lubricate the wind turbines?
