It used to be 'See Venice and Die' Now it is rather 'See Venice Before She Dies'  UNEP - the United Nations Environment Programme - is worried. They would like us to focus on the Emissions Gap 2019 If we don't act, it may very well get worse. Thats what happens when you build on a swamp!!   |

----------------------------------------Farmers bring central Dublin to a halt with tractor protest against ‘climate change initiatives’ – ‘We can’t keep getting blamed for climate change’ The farmers arrived on tractors from all over the country on Tuesday for a planned protest in a cordoned off area but instead parked their vehicles in the very center of the city and refused to leave until the agriculture minister met them. Some slept in their vehicles overnight, many parked outside the luxury Shelbourne Hotel on the corner of St. Stephen’s Green, one of the main bus routes into the city. |

----------------------------------------Farmers lift Dublin blockade after two days of protests Many of the protesters feel let down by the more mainstream farming representative groups and, in a way, they are not unlike a rural Irish equivalent of France's gilets jaunes or yellow vest campaigners. These are strange times for farmers. |

One of 5,600 tractors in Berlin with 15,000 farmers, bore the English sign:
----------------------------------------“FARMING: noun. The art of losing money while working 400 hours a month to feed people who think you are trying to kill them.” Farmers at Avenue Foch, around the Arc de Triomphe, Paris say that their “whole profession” is under attack–livestock, grains and milk producers. One placard said, “I produce, I feed, I die.” In Dublin they will be there again on 15-Dec, if nothing is done. This follows October with massive demos in Netherlands, Germany, and the Gilets Jaunes in France. It is incredible as the “elites” turn states into agrarian backwaters, they kill farming!

Farmers in the higher latitudes particularly those bordering the Atlantic Ocean basin are going to experience much tougher conditions in the decades to come.
----------------------------------------There was large drop in the solar magnetic emissions in the last 11 years in comparison with previous eleven, as integration of the relevant sunspot cycles shows. http://www.vukcevic.co.uk/SC23-24.htm But do not expect to see an immediate effect, it might take another decade or two to reach its full potential. Solar magnetic emissions vary intensity of the surface global field, inducing electric currents into oceans. Larger variability, stronger electric currents induction and more effective electrolysis and change in salinity. Even a small change in salinity has disproportional effect on the ocean currents propagation and consequently at the volumes of heat moved from equatorial region towards the poles. p.s. Usually the peak sunspot counts are considered, however the integrated output is scientifically more appropriate. |

https://principia-scientific.org/human-co2-ex...-40000-parts-per-million/
----------------------------------------Human CO2 Exhalation a whopping 40,000 parts per million! How many times does a normal healthy human being breathe in and breathe out in just one minute? Well, Google tells me that we exhale (that means breathe out for the scientifically illiterate friends of mine on Facebook) some fifteen to twenty times in one minute. Let us take the lower number. What is 15 x 60? It equals 900 exhalations in every hour! Let us now multiply 900 by 24 to get the number of breaths in 24 hours. That comes to 21,600 exhalations of Carbon Dioxide at 40,000 parts per million in one single day by one average person. The total world population is presently reckoned to be 7.4 billion. And rising! You do the maths for that! |

----------------------------------------New findings on nitrous oxide emissions from northern trees surprised scientists A recently published study, completed by researchers from the University of Helsinki together with Dr Katerina Machacova, a visiting scholar, demonstrates that boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere are sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). The study provides new information on the significance of trees as sinks and sources of greenhouse gases, proving that forests have relevance not only in the absorption of carbon, but also as a source of other greenhouse gases. |

Are these scientists or individuals qualified to discuss climate change (a.k.a. global warming)? Since none have degrees in climatology.
----------------------------------------Maurice Strong, no degrees: a noted Marxist that help create the U.N. IPCC Bert Bolin Ph.D. in Meteorology: first chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). James Hansen Ph.D. in Physics: appeared before U.S. Senate Committee in which he claimed the human C02 cause global warming. Rajendra Pauchauri Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering: chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Phil Jones Ph.D. in Hydrology: Director of Climate Research Unit at University of East Anglia involved the climate-gate emails Michael Mann Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics: creator of the infamous global warming “hockey stick” that eliminated the Medieval Warming Period and the Little Ice Age from his graph. Al Gore BA in Government: Nobel Peace Prize along with the IPCC for climate change activism Dr. Gail Bradbrook Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics co-founder of the movement Extinction Rebellion she came up with the idea after praying "in a deep way” while under the influence of “psychedelic medicines” Greta Thunberg, no degrees is a child environmental activist and one of the winners of the 2019 Right Livelihood Award, known as Sweden’s alternative Nobel Prize. |

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/11/29/alarmi...-for-greater-shock-value/
----------------------------------------Climate change alarmists are pushing for a change in vocabulary to scare people into taking global warming more seriously, starting with terms like “global meltdown” and “climate collapse.” Writing for AdAge this week, Aaron Hall argues that in order to get people to “take action” against climate change, “rebranding” is crucial, since people have gotten too used to the idea that climate is changing and need to be shocked into the notion that the world as we know it is ending. |
