"If the 7% drop in emissions caused by the pandemic proves an isolated event rather than the beginning of a major trend, the episode will prevent only .01C (0.018F) of warming by the year 2050, the UN report found."
"Last year’s UN 'emissions gap' report found humans need to cut emissions by pandemic amounts (7.6%) every year to meet the Paris climate goals. That is nowhere near to becoming a reality."
“Are we on track to bridging the gap? Absolutely not,” the new report bluntly states.
Nutty UN chief:
"To put it simply, the state of the planet is broken. Humanity is waging war on nature. This is suicidal. Nature always strikes back, and it is already doing so with growing force and fury."
Climate activist:
"We worry about the recovery being K-shaped."
Me:
I worry about the recovery being C-shaped.... C as in 'communist.'

The rush to judgment about the election reminds me a lot of Climategate.
The stolen Climategate emails revealed gross and embarrassing misconduct by 'scientists.'
But the subsequent investigations never examined the content of the emails (the point of Climategate). (1/ )
Instead, the Climategate investigations oddly focused on whether the e-mails were the result of hack.
They were and no one disputed this.
As a result, the Climate investigations resulted in a whitewash of significant scientific misconduct. (2/)
Similarly with the election, Democrats and the media want to rush to judgment by just looking at ballot counts and not looking at the ballots themselves.
There is little doubt that Biden is ahead just accepting the raw ballot counts at face value. (3/)

August 1943 AP photo of FDR at Bolling Air Field (Wash DC) awarding four B-24s to four crews of former Yugoslav Royal Air Force fliers adopted by the US Army Air Corps.
My dad, a lieutenant, was the navigator/bombardier on one of the planes. (2/)
Photo of one of the actual B-24s in my dad's squadron taking off from San Pacrazio in Italy in late 1943 -- likely headed for Ploesti oilfields or Bulgarian rail yards.
