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 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.
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.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said Wednesday that the era of fossil fuels “must end,” adding that science indicates it will be impossible to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) without eliminating their use.
“Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable,” he wrote on X. “Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.”

Isn't that the title of a TV soap opera starring John Kerry?
There is a competition between journalists to see who can write the most compelling stories about climate change.
For some reason our "media" isn't reporting on the floods and blizzards.
Search on Youtube for "floods China", flood Dubai", "flood Mecca", and there are more.
Then "snow China", snow Austria", snow Germany, snow Great Britain, snow China, etc.
Yeah? Says who?!
“Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable,” he wrote on X. “Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.”
Causing the death of billions and literally the end of civilization as we know it. Get real Guterres.
Cats and dogs, living together!
These homos need to do their part and off themselves. They exhale too much carbon.
My toilet overflowed, is that because of Climate Warming! Can I use an electric unplugging tool instead of my gasoline powered one?
Last year a huge undersea volcano in the South Pacific sent a huge amount of steam (water vapor) into the atmosphere.
This all has to come down somewhere, and it is.
Part of the portion that lands on ground evaporates and comes down again.
This cycle will be going on for a while with flooding and great snowmobiling.
The "media" hasn't reported this or the 20 active volcanoes as it doesn't fit the narrative of man made climate change.
***Russia Reels From -60°C Cold Blast***
Wonder how long it will be before the US receives one of those “Siberian Express” storms. In the past they and the “Alberta Clipper” were used as proof we were entering THE COMING ICE AGE of the 1970s.
Wonder what they call these storms in Russia?
Russia is preparing for a cool down.
Back in 1970, we were all going to freeze to death in 10 years.
Yeah...seen those...they happen every year.
Oh, the drama. Oh, the angst.
Oh, the drama. Oh, the angst.
Meanwhile, in Norway, they purchased over one hundred EV busses for public transportation. Now that winter has arrived, most of the EV busses are not running. The ones that do run do not go very far.
I REMEMBER when the ONLY people who watched the weather were farmers-—worried about crops.
LIVE in N Nevada rural high desert:
Already have had this year the following numbers in the AM:
NOT in any particular order:
9——11 more than once-13—15-17 more than once—18 also—and a mixes of 20-22-24-25, etc.
