Facing Climate Emergency, UN Summit Staggers On
International Business Times ^ | 12/14/2019 | Patrick GALEY and Marlowe HOOD

A UN climate summit in Madrid was on life support Saturday after marathon negotiations between countries left them more divided than ever over on how to fight global warming and pay for its ravages.

Diplomats from rich nations, emerging giants and the world's poorest countries -- each for their own reasons -- found fault with a draft agreement put forward by host Chile in a botched attempt to strike common ground.

Faced with fire-alarm warnings from science, deadly extreme weather made worse by climate change, and weekly strikes by millions of young people, negotiations in Madrid were under pressure to send a clear signal that governments were willing to double down in tackling the crisis.

But the 12-day talks, more than 24 hours after their scheduled end, had retreated even further from this goal on Saturday.

Simon Stiell, Grenada envoy, told AFP that the lack of ambition in the initial agreement text was "crazy".

"It isn't reflective of the kids who are demonstrating on the streets the world over, communities being washed away by rising sea levels," he said late Saturday.

Veteran observers of UN climate talks were stunned by the state of play nearly 24 hours after the negotiations had been due to close.

"I have never seen such a disconnect between what the science requires and the people of the world demand, versus what the climate negotiations are delivering," Alden Meyer, strategy and policy director at the Union of Concerned Scientists, told AFP.

Alexandria Villasenor, a 14-year-old climate activist, said she was "disappointed" in the lack of action at COP 25.

"The difference between the youth on the streets and the negotiations is that the youth on the streets are acting with urgency," she told AFP.

A good collection of climate change stuff, of the
flavor we don’t get to see enough of, because of politicians
deliberately ignoring clear simple facts from real
scientists, then repeatedly summarizing dogma and hogwash
“facts” they are relying on.

http://climatechangereconsidered.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/CCR-II-Physical-Science-10-17-2013-entire-book.pdf

The above two documents found at co2science.org give
absolute lie to the claims that “climate change” is a
potential disaster that must be addressed by government
action.

Anyone that actually pays attention to real scientists
realizes that if one thinks CO2 is an issue, the first thing
to figure out is...

What is the OPTIMUM CO2 level for us and our planet?

Real science suggests that optimum plant and animal growth
would put that somewhere around TWICE what we have today.

In fact, mining deep ocean hydrates and carbonates for
carbon will likely become necessary at some point in the
distant future, before “we” have too little CO2 for life
should “we” never learn how to live independent of this planet.

There have been zero communities washed away by rising sea levels.

We’d have been bombarded by propaganda pieces if they could find one.

WHO is going to pay for the ravages and whom do they pay it to?

Time to move the UN to Sweden. Hate thinking of that poor child having to walk all the way to America to scold us all.

Climate emergency? Seems that neither algore nor Osama Obama got the memo. They both own multi million dollar beachfront mansions.

Talk’s cheap. Now countries are being asked to actually lay some dollars on the table and they’re balking. Funny how that works.

If sea levels were really rising, the Obamas wouldn't have just bought a waterfront estate on Martha's Vineyard ...
