U.N.’s COP26 Climate Summit ended with a thud as countries promised to meet again in a year to achieve what scientists say is an inevitable climate catastrophe if global warming rises over three degrees Celsius in the next decade. Scientists, of course, do not really know the disaster that would befall the planet if it countries do little to combat the effect of greenhouse gases or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Whatever bad weather from Mother Nature happens, it’s all attributed to global warming, where the nation’s most technologically advanced countries accept as gospel climate scientists’ prediction about more calamities without major commitments to reduce carbon emissions. But just as climate scientists don’t know “doomsday,” they also don’t know that reversing carbon emissions will slow the rate of global warming, rising about 1.8 degrees Celsius if countries meet commitments.
President Joe Biden, 78, appointed 78-year-old former Secretary of State John Kerry as his climate czar, pushing the unified message that without draconic new carbon reductions, the world faces global catastrophe. Of course, truth be told, no climate scientists really knows what, it any, reduction in carbon emissions would have on global warming or extreme weather events. No climate scientist can say that if carbon dioxide or methane emissions are reduced, the climate will eventually bounce back. Fallacy after fallacy was preached at Glasgow, all to create the climate change group-think where no dissenting voices are tolerated, much like the Covid-19 discussion when it comes to vaccines. Like climate scientists, no infectious disease scientist can predict whether or not increasing the incidence of Covid-19 vaccines would, in fact, lead to herd immunity to end to the Covid-19 crisis.
Kerry struck and optimistic tone after getting China, who’s been antagonistic to the U.S. since Biden took office, to agree to work with the U.S. on reducing reliance on coal-fired power plants. Realistically, nothing China does is going to have much impact on climate change, much the same as the U.S. At the same time delegates met in COP26 to agree to reduce carbon emissions, 18-year-old activist Greta Thunberg led marches against what she said was an abysmal failure in Glasgow. Thunberg thinks world powers meeting at Glasgow won’t go far enough in her effort to ban, trains, planes and automobile, including most industrial pollution contributing to climate change. Thunberg wants nothing short of returning the world’s population to pre-Industrial Revolution levels of carbon emissions. To do that, millions, maybe billions, of world citizens would die from famine and disease.
Kerry thinks the mere presence of world leaders making commitments to reduce carbon emissions would help slow the rate of global warming, now forecast at 2.7 degrees Celsius if nothing new takes place. If world powers meet their obligations under COP26, Kerry thinks temperatures would only raise 1.8 degrees Celsius. Whether that happens or not is anyone’s guess. Certainly the Cool-Aid drinking conference attendees believe that man-made carbon pollution is responsible in the recent rise in global temperature and associated extreme weather events. No scientist can say with any certainty that weather patterns would change around the globe with less carbon emissions. Kerry talked about how much progress has been reached in the Glasgow summit, winning commitments from world leaders to eventually reduce the world’s 37% of coal fired power plants.
When you listen to Kerry, you can tell why little got done in Glasgow other than like-minded people lying to themselves about stopping global warming by reducing carbon emissions. “I really do believe that as a result of this decision and as a result of the announcements that have been made over the course of the last two weeks, we are, in fact, closer than we have ever been before to avoiding climate chaos and securing cleaner air, safer water and [a] healthier planet.” Kerry said. Kerry has no clue about the science behind climate change other than parroting the party line, that it’s created by man-made carbon dioxide polution. Kerry and other world leader refuse to level with conference participants about the way they plan to reduce carbon emissions over the next decade: Ramping up nuclear power. Can you imagine, Kerry telling the world he’s going to trade carbon pollution for nuclear waste?
Teenage climate activists would be horrified by Kerry’s new plan of abandoning renewable energy for nuclear, claiming the next generation of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors [SMRs] are going to save the planet from “climate chaos.” What Kerry calls “climate chaos” are the kinds of storms that he and other climate scientists attribute to global warming. Kerry has no clue why climate events occur but now has a convenient scapegoat to sell to the world: Carbon. When Angela Merkel decided to end Germany reliance on nuclear power in 2011, she saw what happened at Fukushima-Daiichi with deadly radiation spewing into the pacific, literally creating two-headed fish. No, Kerry has a real plan now to reduce his fictional “climate chaos,” by turning the planet nuclear in the near future. Climate activists need to look carefully at the consensus from Glasgow to return to nuclear power.
