Nothing to see here. Climate Change Is No Catastrophe Michael Shellenberger, UnHerd ". . . Here are the facts: in Europe, emissions in 2020 were 26% below 1990 levels. In the United States, emissions in 2020 were 22% below 2005 levels. Emissions are likely to start declining, too, in developing nations, including China and India, within the next decade. Most nations’ emissions will be bigger this year than last, due to post-Covid economic growth. But global emissions are still likely to peak within the next decade. . . . But again, it’s worth reminding ourselves of the facts: there has been a 92% decline in the per decade death toll from natural disasters since its peak in the 1920s. In that decade, 5.4 million people died from natural disasters. In the 2010s, just 0.4 million did. Globally, the five-year period ending in 2020 had the fewest natural disaster deaths of any five-year period since 1900. And this decline occurred during a period when the global population nearly quadrupled — and temperatures rose more than 1°C degree centigrade above pre-industrial levels. . . . "
It was worse then, better now. Europe’s Post-2000 (Mini) Droughts Far Less Severe, Prolonged Than Little Ice Age Megadroughts By Kenneth Richard on 8. November 2021 Share this... A new study affirms Europe’s worst one-year droughts of the 21st century (2003, 2015, and 201 have been far less severe than the 50+ consecutive years of “megadroughts” linked to the solar-minima-induced coldest decades of the 15th to 19th centuries. There is a clear link between cooler temperatures and aridity documented in the scientific literature (Baek et al., 2019). Decades and centuries with warmer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are associated with less drought. The cooler SSTs occurring during the 1400s to 1800s (Little Ice Age) are linked to more aridity, crop failures, and multi-decade megadroughts. Scientists (Ionita et al., 2021) have determined the two worse European megadroughts of the last 6 centuries occurred during periods with low solar activity and much colder temperatures: the Spörer Minimum (~AD 1400-1480) and Dalton Minimum (~AD 1770-1840). . . .
Not true. First world nations decreased emissions over the last 25 years - but Total emissions increased from 22 Billion tons/year to 36 Billion tons/year. The entire increase - and more - was due to industrialization of non industrialized populations/regions -- and the annual rate continues to increase .. due the Biden-Blue (others) "Not in my back Yard - Dump it in the Ocean" environmental policy.

Despite COP26 pledges, world still on track for dire warming GLASGOW, Scotland — After nine days of grand pronouncements, pledges and plans, scientists delivered a rude awakening to a COP26 summit that has been called “the last, best hope” for climate action: Earth is on track to warm about 2.5 degrees Celsius (4.5 degrees Fahrenheit), eclipsing the world’s shared climate goal by a full degree. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2021/11/09/cop26-un-emissions-gap/

Claims of increased extreme weather shown to be false by lack of evidence. Sorry, Axios, No Data Supports the Claim That Climate Change Is Causing More Extreme Weather EXTREME WEATHER NOVEMBER 18, 2021 A search of Google News today for the term “climate change” turns up a story from Axios in which the author, Andrew Freedman, claims climate change, supposedly caused by humans, is making extreme weather more common. This is false. The 6th Assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) definitively refutes the claim that weather is becoming more extreme. . . .

Another down year for extreme weather. Below Normal Extremes…2021 Northern Hemisphere Cyclone Activity Below Normal…US Tornadoes Below Normal By P Gosselin on 20. November 2021 Share this... By meteorologist Paul Dorian The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is the best measure of overall tropical activity and it is below-normal for the 2021 season across the Northern Hemisphere. Data: Colorado State University, NOAA Overview Tropical cyclone activity across the Northern Hemisphere has been below-normal in 2021 in much the same way as it was last year. Specifically, while the Atlantic Basin featured above-normal tropical activity in this year and last, the Pacific Ocean experienced below-normal conditions in both years leading the way to below-normal levels across the hemisphere as a whole. In terms of tornadoes, it has been another below-normal season in the US with no EF-5’s recorded. There was, however, tornadic activity in some unusual places in 2021 including the Mid-Atlantic and New England. . . .
More hype refuted by science. Were the Sumas Floods Caused by Global Warming? The Evidence Says No. Last weekend there were highly damaging floods over Northwest Washington, with the town of Sumas and its vicinity being inundated by floodwaters. Several landslides occurred, including some that closed I5 near Bellingham.

The alarmist narrative is sustained by fraud. Pielke Jr. Slams Kerry Emanuel’s Latest Charles Rotter Observations of hurricane activity apparently don’t show the right trends. So this new paper re-invents history by using modeled historical hurricane activity to find the right trends. . . .
Fires in the Arctic, record sea levels: NOAA report details effects of climate change in 2020 A year after the coronavirus pandemic shuttered businesses, grounded flights and reduced vehicle traffic across the world, scientists say the resulting temporary drop in carbon emissions has had no lasting impact on climate change. In fact, many metrics of the planet’s health declined significantly last year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s new “State of the Climate in 2020” report. The NOAA’s report, published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, confirms that despite a 6% to 7% drop in emissions from reduced activity amid the pandemic, the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere still hit its highest level ever recorded last year. Scientists also confirmed other records in 2020, which include: The highest annual increase in concentrations of methane, a potent climate-changing gas Average global surface temperatures were among the hottest on record Sea levels reached the highest on record Oceans absorbed a record level of carbon dioxide 2020 was the hottest year on record that did not feature an El Niño. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/26/noa...eport-record-sea-levels-greenhouse-gases.html https://www.edf.org/climate/how-climate-change-plunders-planet/climate-facts
