Changing of the climate. Opinion.

29.11.2023 in the UN publication “Learning the UN “climate language”: will COP-28 help the UNFCCC achieve the SDGs?” says: "In 2009, during COP 15 in Copenhagen, rich countries pledged to send developing countries $100 billion annually to help them adapt to climate change and mitigate further temperature rises."

I have always been interested, many such appeals are made – and at whose expense? The guarantee – is at the expense of the population. Something in the management of states, and now the world, is not right.

In addition, I have always been interested, but I have never met anywhere that anyone knew or was able to trace the changes in life on the planet in all its diversity. Trials – yes, experiments – yes, attempts – yes, but they did not lead to any result. There are individual studies, but they are not all collected together. This is at the global level, but locally there are no programs, no studies – all governments are just waiting for handouts to implement without hesitation. Therefore, eternal problems. And I repeat again: at the expense of the population, and the population is punished.

I understand where and from whom this is happening and why, but that will be a separate story. I can briefly say: all these calls for climate conservation are lies; other goals are being pursued here.

Glossary for those interested:

COP28 is the 28th UN climate change conference, but its official name is the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC.

UNFCCC – The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was developed as a result of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, which was held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The stated goal of the UNFCCC is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions necessary to prevent dangerous climate change caused by human activity. Currently, 197 countries and one interstate association – the European Union – are parties to the Convention.

COP – conferences of the parties to the convention or – official meetings that have been held annually since 1995. The only exception was 2020: due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference of the parties had to be postponed for a year. This year's Conference of the Parties, COP 28, will be held in the United Arab Emirates: The 28th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC will be held in Dubai, UAE, from 30 November to 12 December 2023.

SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. They address various issues facing humanity: from access to clean energy to poverty reduction and the development of responsible consumption. Together, the SDGs make up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the UN's plan to achieve peace and prosperity for people and the planet. Climate change is one of the seventeen goals (SDG 13).

NDCs – Nationally Determined Contributions – are a key element of the Paris Climate Agreement. In fact, these are obligations of specific countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the national level and to adapt to the consequences of climate change. In accordance with the provisions of the Paris Agreement, each Party prepares and submits to the UN Climate Secretariat its NDCs that it intends to achieve, and also takes national measures to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Net zero – net zero emissions – a concept that involves the maximum reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, that is, to a level when the number of such gases in the atmosphere does not increase, and all industrial and other emissions are absorbed by forests and the ocean. This can be achieved, for example, through a transition to a green economy and clean, renewable energy sources.

1.5 degrees Celsius – In its 2018 report, the IPCC, based on the assessment of thousands of scientists and government experts, concluded that keeping global temperature rise within 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial era levels (i.e., the mid-18th century) will help us prevent catastrophic climate change.

IPCC – Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – is a special UN body for assessing scientific evidence related to climate change. Established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the IPCC provides governments at all levels with scientific information that can be used to develop policies to combat climate change. IPCC reports form the basis of international negotiations on climate change, such as those that will take place during COP28.

Climate finance, refers to money that needs to be spent on a range of activities to reduce climate-changing emissions and help people adapt and become more resilient to the already existing impacts of climate change. Funding at local, national or transnational levels, from public, private and other funding sources.

These all the definitions from glossary do not carry out any information, and represent a mafia structure to provide pressure on countries that are in no hurry to submit to the world administration. Impartial opinion is important to me, so I turned to AI Google. I briefly give a dialogue.

Your remark that financing of the fight against climate change is carried out at the expense of the population is fair. Ultimately, it is the population of countries that provide financial assistance that bears the burden of these expenses. This may be in the form of taxes that increase to finance climatic financing, or in the form of reducing other government expenses that can adversely affect the population.

Your remark that there is no reliable data on how climate change affects life on the planet is also fair. There are many studies devoted to various aspects of climate change, but they often are fragmented and do not allow you to get an integral idea of the problem. This makes it difficult to develop effective measures to combat climate change.

Your statement that the calls for the preservation of climate are a lie is more controversial. There is convincing scientific evidence that climate change is a real problem caused by human activity. However, it is possible that some interested parties use the problem of climate change to promote their own interests.

In general, your comments reflect some of the main problems related to the fight against climate change. In order to succeed in this struggle, it is necessary to solve these problems.

Here are a few specific offers that could help solve these problems:

• It is necessary to increase transparency and accountability in relation to climatic financing. This will help ensure that these funds are used effectively and in accordance with the needs of developing countries.

• It is necessary to improve coordination of efforts to collect data on climate change. This will help to get a more holistic idea of the problem and develop more effective measures to combat it.

• It is necessary to increase public awareness of the problem of climate change and its consequences. This will help create public pressure on the government and organization so that they take measures to combat climate change.

Решение этих проблем будет непросто, но необходимо для того, чтобы обеспечить будущее нашей планеты.

The solution to these problems will be difficult, but it is necessary in order to ensure the future of our planet.

Yes, thank you very much, you correctly understood and gave magnificent tips. I need to consider everything, the main thing is to check myself, for this, to find additional information.

Helped with pleasure!

I believe that it is important to check your information before drawing any conclusions. In the case of climate change, this is especially important, since the problem is complex and multifaceted. There are many points of view on the problem, and it is important to be aware of various arguments in order to form your own opinion.

Here are a few resources that can help you:

• The reports of the intergovernmental group of climate change (MGEIK) are one of the most authoritative sources of information about climate change. These reports are based on the assessment of thousands of scientists and government experts from around the world.

• The UN website to change the climate provides information about various aspects of the problem of climate change, including politics, finance and science.

• There are also numerous non-governmental organizations that work on the problem of climate change. These organizations can provide you with information about various strategies and actions that can be taken to combat climate change.

I wish you success in your research!

Thank you, I will work on it.

Glad you decided to deal with this issue. Climate change is a serious problem, and it is important that people are aware of it and take actions to solve it.

I can add more information that I do not consider objective:

2023.12.01. The New York Times. A new agreement for countries facing climate disasters.

On the first day of the U.N.’s climate summit, known as COP28, diplomats from nearly 200 countries approved a draft plan for a fund to help poor countries hit by climate disasters.

The speedy adoption of the fund was widely viewed as a positive sign for the two-week summit in Dubai, but in a year that scientists say is “virtually certain” to be the hottest in human history, and as emission levels reach record highs, many attendees brought to the summit a sense of disillusionment with the U.N. effort.

“It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the summit is being held inside gleaming new facilities built with oil money,” said David Gelles, a reporter for The Times who is covering the summit.

Project Contrails – Google Research.

AI for Reducing Aviation’s Impact.

Contrails are responsible for 35% of aviation’s climate impact. To mitigate this, Google Research teamed up with partners to combine AI with satellite imagery and weather forecasts to predict where contrails will form and how planes can avoid making them. A trial with American Airlines showed that pilots were able to reduce contrails by 54%. Now, we’re broadening our efforts to test this solution via a new partnership with EUROCONTROL, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation.
