UN climate talks in Bangkok have foundered over the key issue of how efforts to limit climate change are funded and how contributions are reported. Activists called out the European Union, Britain and Australia for falling into line with Washington’s position. —AFP, 9 September 2018
An international meeting in Bangkok has fallen short of its aim of completing fruitful preparations so an agreement can be reached in December on guidelines to implement the 2015 Paris climate change agreement. —Associated Press, 9 September 2018
A United Nations climate change meeting in Bangkok made good progress on drafting a ‘rule book’ for the implementation of the 2015 Paris accord before a summit in Poland this December, a top U.N. official said on Sunday, the last day of the talks. —Reuters, 9 September 2018
Amazing. The BBC can’t even get the most basic facts right in its official climate change guidelines.Its new guidelines on reporting climate change state:
To achieve impartiality, you do not need to include outright deniers of climate change in BBC coverage, in the same way, you would not have someone denying that Manchester United won 2-0 last Saturday. The referee has spoken.”
Actually, we do deny this claim. And so should the BBC. —Global Warming Policy Forum, 8 September 2018
Human CO2 generation is responsible for only about 7% of atmospheric CO2 at any given time since the ocean dominates its continuous exchange between ocean, atmosphere and landmass biota. Partial control of the 7% by the Paris agreement (or any other) by suppressing human fossil fuel use would have trivial consequences for climate. Although there is a direct correlation between increased global temperature and increased atmospheric CO2, it doesn’t support the CAGW hypothesis. Analysis of the cosmogenic isotope content of more than 500,000 years of Antarctic ice cores has shown that major climate changes precede changes in the CO2 content of the atmosphere. The CO2 content of the atmosphere is primarily a response to climate change, not a cause of it.
Well there goes global government . Did the UN seriously think China was going to turn over the keys ? “Global warming ” stops when the money dries up .
NONE
of the signatories were going to pay for this nonsense.
USA was supposed to be the fool
paying for ALL of it.
Then
Trump was elected and the leftist scheme collapsed.
As I have said before, the only interest the developing nations have in the climate change movement is to get something for nothing. If this doesn’t happen they will refuse to participate.
From the article, “Activists called out the European Union, Britain and Australia for falling into line with Washington’s position.” When President Bush refused to endorse the KOTO treaty the Europeans complained that they usually looked to the US for leadership, and on this issue it wasn’t there. Obama worked hard to re-establish this leadership which according to his EPA chief McCarthy was the only reason for the Clean Power Plan. Now President Trump has been criticized for abandoning US leadership. I contend that both Bush and Trump are providing leadership. This leadership is in the right direction, which is opposite of what the environmental left wants. The European Union, Britain and Australia falling into line with Washington’s position might be the beginning of a larger phenomenon.
Why sould we be forced to pay for buy anymore snake oil from the Useless Nations who have failed to bring a end to all wars and have not brought us WORLD PEACE
China signed the Paris Accord.
How much money has China paid into the fund?
