Starting on Monday, COP25, or the 25th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, to give the summit its full name, will bring together top officials from 197 countries with the aim of establishing a set of new national targets towards cutting emissions. The talks were originally due to be held in Brazil, but the government there pulled out 12 months ago. Chile offered to take over but, after weeks of street protests, the government there pulled out, too. Finally, the Spanish government stepped in four weeks ago to take over.
Comment: Wow. Whether the Powers That Be realize it or not, their 'agitation' of the masses - through global warming hysteria, terrorism and color revolutions - has overtaken them. In a sense, they're 'on the run' from a beast they can no longer control.
What are the talks about?
The talks will review the progress made since the much-ballyhooed Paris Agreement was signed at COP21 in December 2015. The Agreement aims to reduce emissions enough to keep global temperature rises 'well below' two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and ideally 1.5 degrees. The world has already warmed by about one degree Celsius from that baseline, leaving nations with even less leeway.
Each country has promised to set a national goal for lowering emissions along with a plan for how that might be achieved.
Comment: Nice try by the author to 'take the middle ground', but he doesn't understand that the entire premise is wrong. You can't reason with this ultra-revolutionary movement. It is determined to destroy civilization and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.
