With COP28 rattling along in the UAE, there are three stories to entertain you today.
As with all things "Climate", none of them reflect anything new, it's the same culprits playing the interminably same old same old that we always hear from these gatherings, that we have come to accept as inevitable, that being relatively sane people we have come to ignore and filter out of our attention-space as deluded and irrelevant to real life.
Unfortunately for that response, the fact that we don't take any interest in climate catastrophisers doesn't mean that they don't take any interest in us.
Unsurprisingly their messages prompt much the same sort of "heard-it-all-before" rebuttals from those "climate-deniers" that can still be bothered to keep up, although this year the COP28 President, no less, did chuck in an attention-grabbing assertion that there is no science behind their relentless push to reduce the use of fossil fuels before our world self-combusts, or before Greta blows another gasket, whichever occurs first.
Yup, that outright heresy did get some attention, although probably not enough to make a difference (but feel free to pass it around).
Closer to home, the Daily Sceptic reviews the climate delusions of the governing classes and those tireless folk who set out to understand what is really going on:
" ... the U.K. is likely to have barely a quarter of the energy promised by the Government and the Climate Change Committee in 2050 if all legal obligations of Net Zero are followed"
Worryingly but in the circumstances unsurprisingly:
"Lord Frost identified a current active determination across politicians and opinion formers not too look too closely at all the Net Zero issues"
It's hard to assess the reason for that. Logically It implies that they know it's all impossible, indefensible, and will lead into very messy and uncharted waters ... and that's either actually what they want, or they are just too scared to face up to the issue and jump off the runaway climate train.
More cheerfully (if just as worryingly) CDN takes the high road to pour their customary ridicule on the whole sorry business, but at least it's good entertainment 😎.
