Here is a brave attempt against the continued denial:

To world leaders:

"Betrayal."

That's how young people around the world are describing our governments' failure to cut carbon emissions. And it's no surprise.

We are catastrophically far from the crucial goal of 1.5°C, and yet governments everywhere are still accelerating the crisis, spending billions on fossil fuels...


... We can still do this. There is still time to avoid the worst consequences if we are prepared to change. It will take determined, visionary leadership. And it will take immense courage -- but know that when you rise, billions will be right behind you.

Sincerely,

Greta from Sweden, Vanessa from Uganda, Dominika from Poland, and Mitzi from the Philippines

Add your say to sway the Glasgow collection of world leaders...

We're only here for the photoshoot
London to Glasgow = 7 hours (4 in car so 2x30m pitstops = 8 hours min)

Print a burger
With the West's love of fast food, that's going to need lot of printers. Hmm...wait a minute...

I look to Carboniferous Period of 60 Million Years and Its MEGA Flora and MEGA Fauna.

Climate Change Events during this period.

And Not One Human.

Earth then was Packed with Life.

No Humans

Yet Many Climate Change Events

I Vociferously DENY Human Caused Climate Change

Her office told the Times of Israel she waited outside the venue in Glasgow for two hours, and she was eventually forced to return to her hotel in the Scottish capital Edinburgh 80km (50 miles) away.
Hmm...
...shortage of hotels in Glasgow?
As for the source, it's just a case of 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other.

Though I am reluctant to present facts in front of true believers:

The energy output from the Sun has increased significantly during the 20th century, according to a new study.
https://www.space.com/2942-sun-activity-increased-century-study-confirms.html


ACS Climate Science Toolkit | Narratives
Remark: “The Earth has certainly been warming since we have added so much CO2 to the atmosphere from fossil fuel burning.”
Reply: “Forget the CO2. Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas. It controls the Earth’s temperature.”

https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/climatescience/climatesciencenarratives/its-water-vapor-not-the-co2.html

Clouds are water vapor and anyone who has a swimming pool can attest to the effects of cloud cover vs a clear night sky. It made at least a 1 degree difference in temperature drop overnight in my backyard pool.

So can we have a civil discussion based on facts rather than assertions.

By the way what are you paying per Kilowatt-hour there in the Northwest. TVA here was burning mostly gas but now the price has gone up for gas: still at around 10 cents per Kwh here in Tennessee.

Fabulous--very hard to believe.

Here is what I find--if wind and solar are heavily used --are they subsidized ?


Seattle area households paid an average of 11.7 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity in September 2021, compared to the 11.4 cents per kWh paid in September 2020. The average cost of utility (piped) gas at $1.187 per therm in September was more than the $1.089 per therm spent last year.Oct 19, 2021.

This is much less than I would have guessed.

And the denial (or confusion or confabulation) is?...

Note from that very same ACS article:

... The greenhouse effect that has maintained the Earth’s temperature at a level warm enough for human civilization to develop over the past several millennia is controlled by non-condensable gases, mainly carbon dioxide, CO2, with smaller contributions from methane, CH4, nitrous oxide, N2O, and ozone, O3. ... Because these gases are not condensable at atmospheric temperatures and pressures, the atmosphere can pack in much more of these gases . Thus, CO2 (as well as CH4, N2O, and O3) has been building up in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution when we began burning large amounts of fossil fuel.

If there had been no increase in the amounts of non-condensable greenhouse gases, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere would not have changed with all other variables remaining the same. The addition of the non-condensable gases causes the temperature to increase and this leads to an increase in water vapor that further increases the temperature. This is an example of a positive feedback effect. The warming due to increasing non-condensable gases causes more water vapor to enter the atmosphere, which adds to the effect of the non-condensables...


That nicely describes the positive forcing and feedback loop that we see happening, now, that is caused by the ever increasing pollution from burning fossil fuels.

For a down-to-earth analogy, the CO2 is your heavy foot on the gas pedal, and the water vapor in the air is the size of your vehicle engine heating up the world.


Similarly, if we reduce the level of CO2 (and methane) down to the levels seen 200 years ago, then we will oncemore get the more benign and pleasant and more profitable weather as seen all those years ago.

How can that not be a better scenario than ever more deadly extremes?


All on our only one planet,
Martin

About half way through the space.com article there is this little gem:
The rise in solar activity at the beginning of the last century through the 1950s or so matches with the increase in global temperatures, Usoskin said. But the link doesn't hold up from about the 1970s to present.

So we have a rise in solar activity (however Usoskin defined it) up to about 1950, but then it stabilises or decreases, but global mean temperatures have continued to rise. Not exactly a "good" correlation, especially when one looks the whole data, the rise in solar activity appears to have started about 1900, over half a century after the start of the current rise in global temperature.
Me thinks we have a journalist looking for a headline so they can get their next pay cheque, not a scientist showing some real facts.

You gotta love the irony.
Glasgow International Airport is approx. 9.9 miles from Glasgow City Centre.
Also Glasgow has some amazing 5 star hotels.
Yet we get this: Edinburgh to COP26 - 50 miles...
...and this...


& this is just's Biden's entourage. :-(

Yet again, see climate B/S.
Whether or not it is real or not is not the question.
Do those sitting in their "nice comfy & warm" offices really have more than 2 braincells between them?


So let's label up.
A=Washing machine.
B=Fridge freezer.
C=Tumble dryer.

A & C, lovely jubbly.
Now B - Really?
Cost difference = 1,058
Energy difference= 814

Hmm...
...maybe insulate Britain can "force" the government(taxpayers) to pay the extra 244?
No need for the currency symbol, after all, numbers are numbers right?
