The G7 is an informal grouping of seven of the world's advanced economies: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. The leaders and their spokespersons (John F Kerry) demand that their countries stop using fossil fuels. This is absurd. There is no justification for such a drastic change. Abandoning fossil fuels will destroy their economies. John Kerry and his counterparts say that investments in fossil fuels have to be stamped out, except when they help Europe end its catastrophic dependence on Russian gas.

That was the mixed message Friday from climate ministers of the world’s top industrialized democracies. The G7 called for an end to international investments in fossil fuels by the end of this year and slammed private finance for continuing to back dirty energy — but left a big out for EU countries desperate to replace Russian gas.

The UN COP-26 begins today, October 31, 2021 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK – Halloween, which is eminently appropriate, since the participants' primary goal is to terrify humanity into ignoring this looming energy, economic, health and human rights crisis... and convince us to forget about natural climate change and take immediate, drastic, but futile action to “prevent a man made climate cataclysm.”

At the beginning of March, Frans Timmermans, the European Union’s Executive Vice President for the European Green New Deal and European Commissioner for Climate Action, announced that EU nations planning to burn coal as an alternative to Russian natural gas are not out of line with the EU’s climate goals.

As Bill Winters, CEO of the British multinational banking and financial services firm Standard Chartered, said just last week, “The idea that we can turn off the taps and end fossil fuels tomorrow, it’s obviously ridiculous and naïve. First of all, it’s not going to happen and secondly, it would be very disruptive.”

Weather is nothing more and nothing less than nature trying to equilibrate the balance of all energy transmitted to the Earth by the Sun. It is a never-ending multi-level physics show trying to overcome imbalances and irregularities too numerous to quantify accurately.

More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered and filled with water, accounting for about 96 percent of all Earth’s water. The rest of the 4 percent exists as water vapor in the air, flowing in rivers, stored in lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, and in the ground as soil moisture and as groundwater in aquifers.

How water heats up, cools down, loses, and redistributes the Sun’s heat is very different than how the land and air do it. Water, primarily in the oceans, receives the Sun’s rays. Before the rays penetrate the shallow surface water, a significant amount is reflected by the water back through the air, where some is stored in the air and /clouds, which creates “the greenhouse effect.”

Rod Adams, "I worry about CO2 driven climate change. Human activity produces about 30 billion tons of the stuff annually. Sure, it is natural and food for plants, but so is feces. Both are important, but should be kept in their place or under control."

Fred Singer - Fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas, are really solar energy stored up over millions of years of geologic history. These fuels have made possible the Industrial Revolution of the past three centuries, with huge advances in the living standard, and advances in science that have led to the development of sustainable, non-fossil-based sources of energy -- assuring availability of vital energy supplies far into the future. Energy based on nuclear fission has many of the same advantages: it emits no carbon dioxide (CO2) and is practically inexhaustible.

Everything that happens on Earth happens in cycles. The only straight line is in man’s mind. There are no straight lines in nature. Everything is nature is formed by spinning spheres, or waves.
