We get no real news about climate anymore. Our temperatures this summer were *consistently* 10-20 degrees F above average and it was never mentioned in weather forecasts. It was in the 5-10 degrees above average a few years ago. We need to make peace with our future, which is no future. We ran out of time years ago.
We shouldn’t even be having COP29. The meetings are now completely counterproductive. When most of the attendees are from fossil fuel producing corporations whose aim is to dilute the final stockade, the meetings are beyond pointless.
THANK YOU, thank you. I appreciate how you caught yourself laughing, because we all do laugh in disbelief, yet the emotional impact conveyed is minimization. I've been teaching myself not to lighten my serious statements with a laugh, And I think it was a powerful moment when you said that.

I heard on the news that a hurricane hit Valencia in Spain. It was painful to watch the trail of damage it caused and the death toll is growing any minute: 60 are the victim so far. I personally feel powerless and am very cautious when the met is adverse. I already experienced a down burst with tornado and came out unscathed. So now I watch out for any sign in the sky.
Yes, it's really sad to see this. Been to Valencia multiple times, really beautiful city! One of my favourites in Europe. They have a beautiful parc in the old, dried out riverbed of river Turia through the whole city.. it must've been flooded.
Not on the news in the US either (or barely). Two tropical storms in a row hitting France a few weeks ago. "Only" a few dead, but massive flooding. The parliament in Paris flooded. Some are hoping this might prod some climate action. I grew up in France in the 1980's and 1990's. We did not know of the existence of named storms.

Yes, me too. It's like taking the red pill, isn't it? Once you're there, there's no going back into a society that feels utterly wrong. So many things have become meaningless. One needs a very strong inner anchor to carry on through these times.
I am very thankful for Mr. Carter and Paul for your work. It's been a long time coming and after following this for almost two decades of my life, there has been no change. In fact quite the opposite and looks like humanity is speed running its species to oblivion. It's painful how no one seems to care, no seems to be paying attention... Sadly it's only a matter of time and personally believe humanity deserves what's coming to us all, even the wealthy.

I just watched prof. Bill McGuire's exellent lesson "Societal collapses just in 15 years?" in Climate Lens - The Bottom Line. You can find it here in TH-cam. We are heading not to the Snowball Earth, but the Scorched Earth. I feel helpless. These wars and conflicts that we have now are nothing compared to what lies ahead. Where war speaks, science becomes silent. Ms Greta Thunberg says it nicely: "Blaa blaa blaa." The result of us talking is blaah. Where is the ACTION?
No doubt flying thousands of miles to have a meet-up will fix it. How many additional tons is that now, and who pays for it (answer: we all do, especially the others of this planet, and the environment). And that's the reality of it, no matter the selfish justifications, that these impacts exist.
Prof. Andy Pitman notes that global mean warming is badly understood: as a general rule of thumb, global average surface warming of +4 °C (covering land and ocean) is consistent with +6 °C over land, and +8 °C in the average warming over mid-latitude land. That risks +10 °C in the summer average, or perhaps +12 °C in heatwaves. Western Sydney has already reached 48 °C. If you add 12 °C to the 48 °C peak temperatures that have already happened, then you likely get summer heatwaves of perhaps 60 °C in a +4 °C warming world (relative to the 1850-1900 baseline). The ideal temperature for cooking red meat using the sous vide method for Medium doneness is 135-144 °F (57-62 °C).

We are back with individual days with the global average temperature anomaly over 1.8C in late Oct 2024. * This week was over 1.7C average * 2024 so far averaging 1.58C * Two year average clearly going to be over 1.5C * 5yr Best linear fit is now over 1.5C Data: copernicus era5 Baseline: 1850-1900
It's worth considering that these are world average numbers for a planet better named "oceans." Over land the temperature change is about double that of the world average numbers.
@@fosterbbo Why do you think this important piece of information is never mentioned, even on channels such as this? Is it to minimize alarm, unintentional, lack of understanding? This single integral fact if presented clearly and often ought to make the matter much more urgent.
Declaring emergency does not mean anything if we are not acting to prevent situaroon ever worsening. So far governments have not done enough, or more precisely they have allowed situation to go above worst case scenarios.
In Philadelphia, we just hit our all-time longest period without rain, 29 days. No rain is in the forecast until maybe November 10th. Also, we keep hitting record heat, with today through Friday being around 80F, and again next week in time for the election. Maybe this maddening weather will get more people out to vote for Harris because of Climate Change, but I doubt it, we are Americans after all, the most ignorant and self-serving people on earth.
The reason why CO2 is still increasing is because majority of the countries are poor and the leaders have to focus on helping their economy first. Academics need to get international funding/donations through world-wide campaigns and find suitable sites overseas to start removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere asap. Do not wait for the leaders to give approvals. Activate the activists. They sure will help.
I'm not sure this is the right picture. My understanding is that the vast majority of emissions are attributable to the wealthier economies. The production of the world is being done for those with the means to buy. If the poor countries are paid for their resources and other products a price that would enable a cleaner industrial base I assume they would agree. It would be healthier for their populations. Unfortunately the politics is dominated by neo-liberal economic thinking.
@@fosterbbo I think we need to enforce mandatory donation of $0.10 per citizen on earth per day, or increase if necessary until decarbonization programmes are successfully funded on annual basis. If everyone on Earth faces the same scheme and it is affordable, no one will complain it is not justified. Poor country can pay lower, but must contribute. It must be clearly stated, contribution to global climate emergency fund. The proper way to do it is via taxation, but this needs to be marked clearly.
Thank you all for your work and this information and discussion. Listening, I have to wonder how much the COP conferences are a way of countering climate change, and how much they are a way for many countries to greenwash themselves, pretending they are doing something while in reality slowing down or delaying action. I have grown so cynical that I have come to believe the latter dominates. If that is so, then perhaps attending COP conferences is a legitimization of this policy -- whether that is intended or not. Could a more important global group emerge, composed of only sincere actors, be they countries or academies, emerge? Then perhaps we would not be looking to COP for 'wisdom' or 'validation', but to that other, actually respected, global group? I think something like this has to happen, because the disdain with which COP is now held is growing, and that is extremely damaging to all our futures.
As I see it, for all their failures, COPs are still the only tool we have to get everyone to cooperate to cut emissions. Maybe an amendment or protocol of the UNFCCC to allow a qualified majority to impose and enforce action would be useful.
If I were in charge I would lock everyone inside and turn off the air conditioning, stop all water supplies and food, and wait until they did something real.
While it's true that CO2 is essential for photosynthesis in plants, it's not accurate to say that it doesn't cause heating. Here's a more comprehensive explanation: 1. CO2 and photosynthesis: You're correct that carbon dioxide is crucial for photosynthesis. Plants use CO2, along with water and sunlight, to produce glucose and oxygen. This process is vital for plant growth and, by extension, for much of life on Earth. 2. CO2 and the greenhouse effect: However, CO2 also plays a significant role in Earth's climate system as a greenhouse gas. Here's how: - CO2 molecules in the atmosphere absorb and re-emit infrared radiation (heat) from the Earth's surface. - This process traps heat in the lower atmosphere, warming the planet. - This greenhouse effect is a natural and necessary process, but increased CO2 concentrations enhance this effect, leading to additional warming. 3. Scientific evidence: The warming effect of CO2 is well-established in climate science: - Laboratory experiments have demonstrated CO2's heat-trapping properties. - Satellite measurements show decreased heat escaping to space at CO2 absorption wavelengths. - Ice core records reveal a strong correlation between CO2 levels and global temperatures over hundreds of thousands of years. 4. CO2 concentration changes: Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have significantly increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations: - Pre-industrial levels were around 280 parts per million (ppm). - Current levels exceed 410 ppm, a 46% increase. - This rapid increase is primarily due to burning fossil fuels and deforestation. 5. Balancing effects: While increased CO2 can stimulate plant growth (the "CO2 fertilization effect"), this doesn't fully offset its warming impact: - Plant growth is often limited by factors other than CO2, such as water and nutrient availability. - The warming caused by increased CO2 can negatively impact plant growth in many regions. In conclusion, while CO2 is indeed essential for photosynthesis, its role in the atmosphere is complex. The scientific consensus, based on extensive research and evidence, is that increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations are a primary driver of observed global warming.

I think you would be making a more powerful statement by boycotting the COP as should all other serious analysts and having an alternative conference that tells the truth of mess we are in and how we are going to adapt to a living hell for the foreseeable future (centuries). After all, they have been useless in getting the greedy selfish psychopathic oil producers to stop. Can you please tell us...what should be the agenda for COP. If you were running the show, what would you set out to achieve
I agree with you, but at the same time- I think we passed the point of 'no return' years ago...possibly a few decades. The big oil companies doing their research, and then keeping it from us didn't help. Oh, well...too late now...big oil should be mandated to finance carbon capture IMO...not likely to happen,, is it?
If we have already reached more than 1 degree celsius warming, what will it take before our planet has no ice caps? I think things like malaria would then spread all over the world, maybe the disease burden is a reason why many tropical countries have lower GDP per capita. Will heat waves kill off large groups of people every year? And will crop failures become common all over the world due to pests, disease, and other factors? I am just trying to understand - how bad it will be.
Your concerns about the impacts of climate change are valid, and many scientists are working to understand and predict these effects. Based on current research, here's a more detailed response to your questions: 1. Ice cap melting: There's no precise temperature at which all ice caps will disappear. Different ice masses respond differently to warming. For example, Arctic sea ice is more sensitive than the Antarctic ice sheet. Complete loss of all ice caps would likely require several degrees of warming above pre-industrial levels and could take centuries. However, significant ice loss is already occurring and accelerating[4]. 2. Disease spread: Climate change is indeed expected to alter the distribution of many diseases, including malaria. However, the relationship between climate, disease, and economic development is complex. While tropical diseases may contribute to economic challenges in some regions, many other factors also influence GDP[5]. 3. Heat waves: Increased frequency and intensity of heat waves are projected with continued warming. These can cause significant mortality, especially among vulnerable populations. However, adaptation measures (like improved urban planning and early warning systems) can help reduce impacts[5]. 4. Crop failures: Climate change is expected to increase challenges for agriculture globally, including: - Increased pest and disease pressure - Changes in precipitation patterns - More frequent extreme weather events - Shifts in suitable growing regions for different crops These factors could lead to more frequent crop failures and increased food insecurity in many regions. However, the impacts will vary geographically and by crop type[6][8][9]. 5. Overall severity: The severity of climate change impacts depends on several factors, including: - The amount of future greenhouse gas emissions - The rate of warming - The effectiveness of adaptation measures - Potential tipping points in the climate system Current projections suggest significant challenges for human societies and ecosystems, with risks increasing as warming progresses. However, immediate and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions could still limit the most severe impacts[7][8]. It's important to note that while the challenges are serious, there are also ongoing efforts to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts. These include: - Rapid development of renewable energy technologies - Improved climate modeling and early warning systems - Research into climate-resilient crops and agricultural practices - International cooperation on emissions reductions Understanding these risks is crucial for informing policy decisions and individual actions to address climate change. While the situation is serious, concerted global action can still make a significant difference in future outcomes.

Utilising Artificial Intelligence, AI, technologies to combat Climate Change was an initiative launched by the UN in 2023. AI will be presented at COP 29 in Baku, as an additional powerful technological tool to inform Climate Change mitigation & adaptation strategies. AI is power-hungry, of course, but it's routinely used by the Industrial-military complex for designing more potent warfaring tools anyways. So, why not using AI for modelling Survival strategies instead? Of course, killing Peoples for Land & Resources is easier to compute with AI than the multiple environmental tipping points fossil hydrocarbons cause.
Recalling my time as a self identified Green, it was a pleasant identity to have. Other Greens were generally pleasant, nice people, and inoffensive. We had this common belief that we really cared, felt a responsibility and were prepared to make sacrifices for a greater good. But therein lay the danger. We didn't regard ourselves as sanctimonious, but behind the facade of our niceness lurked a sanctimonious hubris, in that we regarded people other than ourselves as ignorant and in need of saving. It began with a love of nature, not a bad thing to have, a dislike of pollution, desolation, and contamination. But contaminated we were, we took the CO2 global warming, climate crisis narrative, hook, line and sinker, with little question, or examination ! Yes the people selling the idea buried us in data, but we didn't choose to examine, or challenge them, we were the chosen, who were out to save the planet. How many have rewatched Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth ? The first time I watched it I took it as truth, it spurred me on, confirming my belief and reinforcing my self image. Well it didn't stand the test of time, much like Greta's tweets, it's an embarrassment, the crisis failed to emerge. CVD ! Thank you CVD for opening my eyes. You revealed yourself for what you are, ambitious totalitarian, authoritarian, Malthusians, who hate humanity ! There they all were, the philanthro capitalists who sold me “ Oil will make us boil “ pushing by every means bar physically holding me down, to put an experimental gene therapy into my body, into all our bodies ! You let the mask drop, and as a consequence, I rigorously examined everything you had ever told me and found it wanting ! There is always more than one way to approach a problem, so why not employ all of them ? The problem in your eyes is us, the useless eaters, so how do you reduce our numbers ? Well if you can get them to hate themselves, which a generation or more clearly does ! Get them to identify as a blight on the planet ? And then they might just volunteer, go quietly ? Slowly poisoned by novel “foods”, novel pharmaceuticals, particles sprayed into the air, starving as the politicians who claim to represent them attack the food supply, through austerity because the oil that fuels our prosperity is reduced and removed, or better still casualties to avoidable wars. Well you misunderstood this former Green ! Yes I love nature, and I love the planet, but I love humanity too. And as for you Malthusians ? You are the problem seeking a solution, and people are starting to realise, so you’d better finish building your bunkers soon !

If the president of the COP29 believes the world has to continue with fossil fuels he should be asked what he will or can do when the global temperature rises 1.5 degrees C and his country will then have to cope with a 3 degree C increase since the 1.5 includes the 71% of ocean surface, which means that due to the latter's thermal inertia the land will reach 3 degrees warmer, which I think will affect Azerbaijan's water resources as well as making working the oil wells on land impossible during the day, which in turn is going to reduce demand for day-time oil use globally and therefore also reduce its price with similar adverse consequences for oil rigs on the seas. A 3 degree rise in industrial countries for factories, shops, homes and even cars without air conditioning will be costly economically and medically as well as for jobs. It will force a lot of motorists onto public transport and a lot more to use their cars only for work and emergencies, which is going to cause recessions. Ask him also what to tell those who will be killed from the heat especially old people and those walking to work or to shops for their groceries etc. and by more intense and longer-lasting heatwaves and heavier floods. When the reality of a 1.5 rise is a 3 degree rise, that's a death sentence for millions and hot enough to practically end industrial civilisation; it is in fact a declaration of war on the poorest and the oldest people on the planet and governments that sign up for it are worse than the fascists of the 20th century who killed about 70m and caused another 100m deaths from the Spanish flu of nutritionally deficient people as a consequence of the Great War.
TAKE THE RED PILL The meteorological systems called the Northern and Southern Hadley Cells, with the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) around their centre cover about 32% of the planet's surface. Any changes within the sweep of the Hadley cells will affect conditions within the ITCZ. The importance of this is that the cloud mass within the ITCZ reflects incoming solar heat back out to space: Less cloud = more heat. More cloud = less heat. Have humans affected the balance in the ITCZ's governance of the solar heat budget? YES. Are those effects enough to produce the additional heat gradient, commonly referred to as global warming? YES. So how do humans produce such an effect? The annual, July to October flooding of the lower Nile created a warm, shallow, 26,000km2 evaporative surface in the Sahara Desert. The 13.5mm (4,000m3/s) of water evaporated per day was pulled south by the Northern Hadley cell when every few days it would rise onto the Ethiopian Highlands where it would create a disturbance within the west flowing monsoon, to create a Keremt storm. The Keremt storm pushed westwards across Sub Saharan Africa (5,N to 20,N) would become organised into African Easterly Waves (AEW) which eventually formed USA sized solar reflective marine stratocumulus cloudscapes. By putting dams on the Nile at Aswan form 1902 we inadvertently regulated this meteorological chain reaction, mostly by reducing the frequency of the AEWs, thus reduced the cloud cover over the equatorial oceans = the oceans became warmer, and distributed this additional heat poleward and into the atmosphere. From 1964 when the AHD completely stored the flood in a much smaller and deeper reservoir, the frequency of the AEWs reduced again = even more solar heat. This can obviously be checked by producing an anomaly chart of the ocean surface affected by the AEW system. Integrating that with other data for rainfall and river-flow. Suggesting in 1945 to 1964 mean value. Theromcline: -20m min. Temp gradient of Canary current from 23N to 17N, July to Sept. THIS IS THE RED PILL
there is another phenomenon at stake. misunderstanding, or perverse behaviors. When governments, west european here, talk about the actions to be taken about the climate catastrophe they use the military vocab to explain that there is a "fight" against the "climate change" that requires to prepare against the extreme events and to build and rebuild infrastructures to "protect" ourselves. Oh i know this might sound very reasonable to a vast majority, but, sorry to say, is it not about feeding the beast they pretend to fight, and protect from, to begin with ? Generate more pollution to face the consequences of the pollution generated otherwise is the less intelligent, to not say the most stupid, answer to provide imHo. Further more, on any other aspects of the modern society inadequacy to the consequences of its very existence, they propose absolutely nothing relevant to the scale of the problem. To summarize, they are feeding the beast, unable to understand that this problem ressemble more to a quicksand, that agitating yourself only deteriorates your chances of survival. Governments of all around the world should rather quickly accept they got it all wrong for a very longtime, the sooner the better, there is no point fighting for an uninhabitable planet earth. Even monkeys dont do something as stupid as that.
The only reason western governments are doing anything to “COMBAT” climate change is because capitalists found a new market to profit from. Most corporations that jumped on the “Sustainability” band wagon in the middle of last decade are now quickly back-tracking all their pledges calling them infeasible (read “non-profitable”). With the introduction of things like crypto-currencies and “AI”, any hope of even decarbonizing the electrical grid are now largely unattainable. Economic growth (cancer) will always take priority to environmental concerns under neo-liberal governments.
Monkeys (and Apes), are much smarter than Human Beings; and have a much longer evolutionary path than Humans; at least as expressed by their wisdom of living within a sustainable set of ecological parameters. Their society had a future until we chose to KNOWINGLY destroy ALL evolutionary paths forward for vertebrates in 1989.

Great conversation about COP. I hope you all find good connection and look forward to your feedback. Safe travels!
Thanks!
Thank you!
If COP was anything other than a cop out, we'd be in a different place by now
I am very thankful for Mr. Carter and Paul for your work. It's been a long time coming and after following this for almost two decades of my life, there has been no change. In fact quite the opposite and looks like humanity is speed running its species to oblivion.
It's painful how no one seems to care, no seems to be paying attention...
Sadly it's only a matter of time and personally believe humanity deserves what's coming to us all, even the wealthy.
Co2 removal? I wonder how much fossil fuel that will require?

Most people realize CO2 emissions are not going to be reduced anytime soon.

No doubt flying thousands of miles to have a meet-up will fix it. How many additional tons is that now, and who pays for it (answer: we all do, especially the others of this planet, and the environment). And that's the reality of it, no matter the selfish justifications, that these impacts exist.
3C is a global average that includes the oceans. On land, it will be more like 5C or 6C.
Well over 100 now and climbing
Prof. Andy Pitman notes that global mean warming is badly understood: as a general rule of thumb, global average surface warming of +4 °C (covering land and ocean) is consistent with +6 °C over land, and +8 °C in the average warming over mid-latitude land. That risks +10 °C in the summer average, or perhaps +12 °C in heatwaves. Western Sydney has already reached 48 °C. If you add 12 °C to the 48 °C peak temperatures that have already happened, then you likely get summer heatwaves of perhaps 60 °C in a +4 °C warming world (relative to the 1850-1900 baseline).

* Two year average clearly going to be over 1.5C
* 5yr Best linear fit is now over 1.5C

It's worth considering that these are world average numbers for a planet better named "oceans." Over land the temperature change is about double that of the world average numbers.

Where IS all the water at, if it's not raining in a lot of places???
In Philadelphia, we just hit our all-time longest period without rain, 29 days. No rain is in the forecast until maybe November 10th. Also, we keep hitting record heat, with today through Friday being around 80F, and again next week in time for the election. Maybe this maddening weather will get more people out to vote for Harris because of Climate Change, but I doubt it, we are Americans after all, the most ignorant and self-serving people on earth.
To paraphrase the almighty words of Charlton Heston, "Damn those interglacials. Damn them all to hell."
The reason why CO2 is still increasing is because majority of the countries are poor and the leaders have to focus on helping their economy first. Academics need to get international funding/donations through world-wide campaigns and find suitable sites overseas to start removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere asap. Do not wait for the leaders to give approvals. Activate the activists. They sure will help.
I'm not sure this is the right picture. My understanding is that the vast majority of emissions are attributable to the wealthier economies. The production of the world is being done for those with the means to buy. If the poor countries are paid for their resources and other products a price that would enable a cleaner industrial base I assume they would agree. It would be healthier for their populations. Unfortunately the politics is dominated by neo-liberal economic thinking.
@@fosterbbo I think we need to enforce mandatory donation of $0.10 per citizen on earth per day, or increase if necessary until decarbonization programmes are successfully funded on annual basis. If everyone on Earth faces the same scheme and it is affordable, no one will complain it is not justified. Poor country can pay lower, but must contribute. It must be clearly stated, contribution to global climate emergency fund. The proper way to do it is via taxation, but this needs to be marked clearly.
Thank you all for your work and this information and discussion. Listening, I have to wonder how much the COP conferences are a way of countering climate change, and how much they are a way for many countries to greenwash themselves, pretending they are doing something while in reality slowing down or delaying action. I have grown so cynical that I have come to believe the latter dominates. If that is so, then perhaps attending COP conferences is a legitimization of this policy -- whether that is intended or not. Could a more important global group emerge, composed of only sincere actors, be they countries or academies, emerge? Then perhaps we would not be looking to COP for 'wisdom' or 'validation', but to that other, actually respected, global group? I think something like this has to happen, because the disdain with which COP is now held is growing, and that is extremely damaging to all our futures.
how do you tell your children and their children.
Eh... not sure that is a paradox where the meeting is being held as it is an irony.
Dear peter, do you consider the rate of change to be exponential ?
I wonder if there’s a formula for the amount of CO2 that includes the COP number!
does it matter? co2 is plant food.
I've heard plants crave electrolytes too, better make sure they get those
Watch Age of Stupid yet again - it was a film of our time but mainly ignored by the mainstream - maybe remake it and rerelease it
it has been colder and wetter all year in england and a lot of countries are flooding.
what heating??
As I see it, for all their failures, COPs are still the only tool we have to get everyone to cooperate to cut emissions. Maybe an amendment or protocol of the UNFCCC to allow a qualified majority to impose and enforce action would be useful.
Oh here we go the suits marketing SRM
Honestly. Why even discuss COP.
All studies seem to idicate dire consequences. Will someone please say that nothing is being done because nothing can be done.
Even the IPCC said in 2019 the word:
Irreversible.
Really few are talking about this
The thing is, we can actually do what's needed, it's just that we choose not to.
There is no cheerful way to think about this. It's too bad that in order to get people to act, first we must make them happy.
When you referred to "Peter and Paul," was it meant as a pun on religion?
He's referring to Peter Carter and Paul Beckwith since they're regulars on the podcast.
When are you guys going to admit that it's too goddamn late?
Is there no honor in playing your best game in the face of a (temporarily?) superior opponent?
Agreed
If I were in charge I would lock everyone inside and turn off the air conditioning, stop all water supplies and food, and wait until they did something real.
In 2021 they said methane rate Rising is alarming😮 2024 the methane level increase is now exponential we do not have long😢
Has Regina Valdez left the team?
No, she's just very busy with university right now. She'll continue hosting after the COP.
With people doing Zoom meetings today, I just don’t get why you need face-to-face meetings. 🤷♀️Why burn more fossil fuels?

Well, there goes the Great Barrier Reef.
co2 is plant food required for photosynthesis. it does not cause heating.
While it's true that CO2 is essential for photosynthesis in plants, it's not accurate to say that it doesn't cause heating. Here's a more comprehensive explanation:
1. CO2 and photosynthesis:
You're correct that carbon dioxide is crucial for photosynthesis. Plants use CO2, along with water and sunlight, to produce glucose and oxygen. This process is vital for plant growth and, by extension, for much of life on Earth.
2. CO2 and the greenhouse effect:
However, CO2 also plays a significant role in Earth's climate system as a greenhouse gas. Here's how:
- CO2 molecules in the atmosphere absorb and re-emit infrared radiation (heat) from the Earth's surface.
- This process traps heat in the lower atmosphere, warming the planet.
- This greenhouse effect is a natural and necessary process, but increased CO2 concentrations enhance this effect, leading to additional warming.
3. Scientific evidence:
The warming effect of CO2 is well-established in climate science:
- Laboratory experiments have demonstrated CO2's heat-trapping properties.
- Satellite measurements show decreased heat escaping to space at CO2 absorption wavelengths.
- Ice core records reveal a strong correlation between CO2 levels and global temperatures over hundreds of thousands of years.
4. CO2 concentration changes:
Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have significantly increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations:
- Pre-industrial levels were around 280 parts per million (ppm).
- Current levels exceed 410 ppm, a 46% increase.
- This rapid increase is primarily due to burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
5. Balancing effects:
While increased CO2 can stimulate plant growth (the "CO2 fertilization effect"), this doesn't fully offset its warming impact:
- Plant growth is often limited by factors other than CO2, such as water and nutrient availability.
- The warming caused by increased CO2 can negatively impact plant growth in many regions.
In conclusion, while CO2 is indeed essential for photosynthesis, its role in the atmosphere is complex. The scientific consensus, based on extensive research and evidence, is that increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations are a primary driver of observed global warming.

I think you would be making a more powerful statement by boycotting the COP as should all other serious analysts and having an alternative conference that tells the truth of mess we are in and how we are going to adapt to a living hell for the foreseeable future (centuries). After all, they have been useless in getting the greedy selfish psychopathic oil producers to stop.
Can you please tell us...what should be the agenda for COP. If you were running the show, what would you set out to achieve
I agree with you, but at the same time- I think we passed the point of 'no return' years ago...possibly a few decades.
The big oil companies doing their research, and then keeping it from us didn't help.
Oh, well...too late now...big oil should be mandated to finance carbon capture IMO...not likely to happen,, is it?

Carbon capture and storage just gives the oil industry an excuse to carry on bussiness as usual.

If we have already reached more than 1 degree celsius warming, what will it take before our planet has no ice caps? I think things like malaria would then spread all over the world, maybe the disease burden is a reason why many tropical countries have lower GDP per capita. Will heat waves kill off large groups of people every year? And will crop failures become common all over the world due to pests, disease, and other factors? I am just trying to understand - how bad it will be.
Your concerns about the impacts of climate change are valid, and many scientists are working to understand and predict these effects. Based on current research, here's a more detailed response to your questions:
1. Ice cap melting:
There's no precise temperature at which all ice caps will disappear. Different ice masses respond differently to warming. For example, Arctic sea ice is more sensitive than the Antarctic ice sheet. Complete loss of all ice caps would likely require several degrees of warming above pre-industrial levels and could take centuries. However, significant ice loss is already occurring and accelerating[4].
2. Disease spread:
Climate change is indeed expected to alter the distribution of many diseases, including malaria. However, the relationship between climate, disease, and economic development is complex. While tropical diseases may contribute to economic challenges in some regions, many other factors also influence GDP[5].
3. Heat waves:
Increased frequency and intensity of heat waves are projected with continued warming. These can cause significant mortality, especially among vulnerable populations. However, adaptation measures (like improved urban planning and early warning systems) can help reduce impacts[5].
4. Crop failures:
Climate change is expected to increase challenges for agriculture globally, including:
- Increased pest and disease pressure
- Changes in precipitation patterns
- More frequent extreme weather events
- Shifts in suitable growing regions for different crops
These factors could lead to more frequent crop failures and increased food insecurity in many regions. However, the impacts will vary geographically and by crop type[6][8][9].
5. Overall severity:
The severity of climate change impacts depends on several factors, including:
- The amount of future greenhouse gas emissions
- The rate of warming
- The effectiveness of adaptation measures
- Potential tipping points in the climate system
Current projections suggest significant challenges for human societies and ecosystems, with risks increasing as warming progresses. However, immediate and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions could still limit the most severe impacts[7][8].
It's important to note that while the challenges are serious, there are also ongoing efforts to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts. These include:
- Rapid development of renewable energy technologies
- Improved climate modeling and early warning systems
- Research into climate-resilient crops and agricultural practices
- International cooperation on emissions reductions
Understanding these risks is crucial for informing policy decisions and individual actions to address climate change. While the situation is serious, concerted global action can still make a significant difference in future outcomes.

Humans only act with crisis management. But we are suffering from Boiled Frog Syndrome
Utilising Artificial Intelligence, AI, technologies to combat Climate Change was an initiative launched by the UN in 2023.
AI will be presented at COP 29 in Baku, as an additional powerful technological tool to inform Climate Change mitigation & adaptation strategies.
AI is power-hungry, of course, but it's routinely used by the Industrial-military complex for designing more potent warfaring tools anyways.
So, why not using AI for modelling Survival strategies instead?
Of course, killing Peoples for Land & Resources is easier to compute with AI than the multiple environmental tipping points fossil hydrocarbons cause.
Mercifully YOU won't be around to see it.
Recalling my time as a self identified Green, it was a pleasant identity to have. Other Greens were generally pleasant, nice people, and inoffensive.
We had this common belief that we really cared, felt a responsibility and were prepared to make sacrifices for a greater good. But therein lay the danger.
We didn't regard ourselves as sanctimonious, but behind the facade of our niceness lurked a sanctimonious hubris, in that we regarded people other than ourselves as ignorant and in need of saving.
It began with a love of nature, not a bad thing to have, a dislike of pollution, desolation, and contamination. But contaminated we were, we took the CO2 global warming, climate crisis narrative, hook, line and sinker, with little question, or examination ! Yes the people selling the idea buried us in data, but we didn't choose to examine, or challenge them, we were the chosen, who were out to save the planet.
How many have rewatched Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth ? The first time I watched it I took it as truth, it spurred me on, confirming my belief and reinforcing my self image. Well it didn't stand the test of time, much like Greta's tweets, it's an embarrassment, the crisis failed to emerge.
CVD ! Thank you CVD for opening my eyes. You revealed yourself for what you are, ambitious totalitarian, authoritarian, Malthusians, who hate humanity ! There they all were, the philanthro capitalists who sold me “ Oil will make us boil “ pushing by every means bar physically holding me down, to put an experimental gene therapy into my body, into all our bodies ! You let the mask drop, and as a consequence, I rigorously examined everything you had ever told me and found it wanting !
There is always more than one way to approach a problem, so why not employ all of them ? The problem in your eyes is us, the useless eaters, so how do you reduce our numbers ? Well if you can get them to hate themselves, which a generation or more clearly does ! Get them to identify as a blight on the planet ? And then they might just volunteer, go quietly ? Slowly poisoned by novel “foods”, novel pharmaceuticals, particles sprayed into the air, starving as the politicians who claim to represent them attack the food supply, through austerity because the oil that fuels our prosperity is reduced and removed, or better still casualties to avoidable wars.
Well you misunderstood this former Green ! Yes I love nature, and I love the planet, but I love humanity too. And as for you Malthusians ? You are the problem seeking a solution, and people are starting to realise, so you’d better finish building your bunkers soon !

COP OUT

Time to quit the addiction to Hopium with some weak Copium.
Want viewers? You got it
The idea of remove Billions of Billions. Tons GHG from Atmosphere year before year . Ignores the Energy required . And the Entropy generated
Somebody can do mathematics and Physics calculations what this means ?
If the president of the COP29 believes the world has to continue with fossil fuels he should be asked what he will or can do when the global temperature rises 1.5 degrees C and his country will then have to cope with a 3 degree C increase since the 1.5 includes the 71% of ocean surface, which means that due to the latter's thermal inertia the land will reach 3 degrees warmer, which I think will affect Azerbaijan's water resources as well as making working the oil wells on land impossible during the day, which in turn is going to reduce demand for day-time oil use globally and therefore also reduce its price with similar adverse consequences for oil rigs on the seas.
A 3 degree rise in industrial countries for factories, shops, homes and even cars without air conditioning will be costly economically and medically as well as for jobs. It will force a lot of motorists onto public transport and a lot more to use their cars only for work and emergencies, which is going to cause recessions. Ask him also what to tell those who will be killed from the heat especially old people and those walking to work or to shops for their groceries etc. and by more intense and longer-lasting heatwaves and heavier floods. When the reality of a 1.5 rise is a 3 degree rise, that's a death sentence for millions and hot enough to practically end industrial civilisation; it is in fact a declaration of war on the poorest and the oldest people on the planet and governments that sign up for it are worse than the fascists of the 20th century who killed about 70m and caused another 100m deaths from the Spanish flu of nutritionally deficient people as a consequence of the Great War.
TAKE THE RED PILL
The meteorological systems called the Northern and Southern Hadley Cells, with the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) around their centre cover about 32% of the planet's surface. Any changes within the sweep of the Hadley cells will affect conditions within the ITCZ. The importance of this is that the cloud mass within the ITCZ reflects incoming solar heat back out to space:
Less cloud = more heat. More cloud = less heat.
Have humans affected the balance in the ITCZ's governance of the solar heat budget? YES.
Are those effects enough to produce the additional heat gradient, commonly referred to as global warming? YES.
So how do humans produce such an effect? The annual, July to October flooding of the lower Nile created a warm, shallow, 26,000km2 evaporative surface in the Sahara Desert. The 13.5mm (4,000m3/s) of water evaporated per day was pulled south by the Northern Hadley cell when every few days it would rise onto the Ethiopian Highlands where it would create a disturbance within the west flowing monsoon, to create a Keremt storm. The Keremt storm pushed westwards across Sub Saharan Africa (5,N to 20,N) would become organised into African Easterly Waves (AEW) which eventually formed USA sized solar reflective marine stratocumulus cloudscapes. By putting dams on the Nile at Aswan form 1902 we inadvertently regulated this meteorological chain reaction, mostly by reducing the frequency of the AEWs, thus reduced the cloud cover over the equatorial oceans = the oceans became warmer, and distributed this additional heat poleward and into the atmosphere. From 1964 when the AHD completely stored the flood in a much smaller and deeper reservoir, the frequency of the AEWs reduced again = even more solar heat.
This can obviously be checked by producing an anomaly chart of the ocean surface affected by the AEW system. Integrating that with other data for rainfall and river-flow. Suggesting in 1945 to 1964 mean value. Theromcline: -20m min. Temp gradient of Canary current from 23N to 17N, July to Sept.
THIS IS THE RED PILL

there is another phenomenon at stake. misunderstanding, or perverse behaviors. When governments, west european here, talk about the actions to be taken about the climate catastrophe they use the military vocab to explain that there is a "fight" against the "climate change" that requires to prepare against the extreme events and to build and rebuild infrastructures to "protect" ourselves. Oh i know this might sound very reasonable to a vast majority, but, sorry to say, is it not about feeding the beast they pretend to fight, and protect from, to begin with ? Generate more pollution to face the consequences of the pollution generated otherwise is the less intelligent, to not say the most stupid, answer to provide imHo. Further more, on any other aspects of the modern society inadequacy to the consequences of its very existence, they propose absolutely nothing relevant to the scale of the problem. To summarize, they are feeding the beast, unable to understand that this problem ressemble more to a quicksand, that agitating yourself only deteriorates your chances of survival.
