Thoughts on important UN COP26 conference October 31 to November 12, 2021 in Scotland. Commitments reached at this conference will determine worldwide use of fossil fuels. Yes, use fossil fuels, Great. No, abandoning fossil fuels will bring terrible problems. What are the real objectives of these government leaders? This conference has been held annually for 25 years. There are always grand plans that are rarely achieved. Will this time be different? Governments in the UK, the USA, and Germany are determined to force the free world to stop using fossil fuels. In that case, the free world isn’t free! There is nothing nearly as good as fossil fuels for many energy uses now or in the near future. The photos above show normal winters in Switzerland (top) and Scotland (bottom). Judge for yourself if you think you want to go without fossil fuels. Here, here, here, and here are hundreds of articles explaining why carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is not the cause of global warming. Climate change is controlled by the sun, and physics of the solar system and universe. Abandoning fossil fuels to reduce atmospheric CO2 will have negligible impact on climate change and will cause energy related disasters. Wind and solar are no substitute for fossil fuels in many applications. In fact, countries will be forced to use fossil fuels as backup to wind and solar.
