The COP29 meeting in Baku has been eclipsed in the news agenda by the rise of Donald Trump. As details of the President’s new team slowly emerge, those who invest their hopes and dreams in the annual spectacle have been further frustrated by events in and outside the conference. X owner, Elon Musk is, as expected, going to jointly head up the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy.
Back in Baku, the Argentinian delegation was withdrawn, defeating Ed Miliband and Keir Starmer’s hopes for “climate leadership”. Javier Milei, who famously took his chainsaw to many of Argentina’s bloated bureaucracies, looks more like the trendsetter after all, with DOGE set to follow in this model.

The New Norman?
I think the term “new normal” was invented a few years ago. The trouble is, “new” doesn’t last indefinitely (not even New Scotland Yard). The values of the output of the journalists mentioned are actually abnormal (even though it’s normal for them to grab hold of a story). Long term stability of any weather related measurement would be abnormal as well. However, the belief in our contribution to it all could be normal, even if not physically correct.

Not only will the residual heat from urban and airport infrastructure contribute to higher night-time temperatures, but the almost universal used of air conditioning in the USA ,to make comfortable sleep possible, with exacerbate it.

Nice one – very useful.
There was an article in Time Magazine titled “Climate is Everything”. What they really mean is that everything that is wrong in the world, regarding equality, diversity, social justice etc etc and every left wing cause you can think of can be fixed by simply getting rid of fossil fuels and pretending to fix the climate. ————-So, to the liberal progressive, climate is indeed everything and they go to extraordinary lengths to convince you of that, with little or no evidence and a splurge of computer model projections full of assumptions that they refer to as “science”. But not the science as we have come to understand it. It is the post modern kind or “Official Science”
I checked out the weather forecast using AccuWeather, for various places around Europe for the coming week or so. Conclusion: The heatwave that has generated so much hysteria in the media is limited to a very select region along the Mediterranean coast, where these types of temperature are nothing new. Take a random spot-check of weather reports for anywhere outside this region, and it becomes obvious that the overwhelming majority of Europe is experiencing an absolutely normal summer, and an equal portion is having cooler than normal temperatures!
The same goes for reality checks (accurate weather reports) for the rest of the United States, that isn’t Death Valley or Arizona. This heatwave mania is codswallop.
Anything warm is “Global Warming”—————Anything cold is simply “Weather”
People shouldn’t be getting away with statements like We are not in a stable climate as this means absolutely nothing. It’s just idle fear-mongering, something like Things may seem ok to you at the moment but they could become much worse at a moments notice! We don’t know for certain they won’t!
Protect the planet! Turn off your TVs
“said we are not in a “stable climate”.”
That’s factual.
In fact the earth’s climate has always been changing naturally.
Climate change is normal and natural.
Humanity has always been adapting to a naturally changing climate.
