Another two week edition of the fantasy waffle-fest beckons, as imaginary solutions to imaginary man-made problems are chewed over by about thirty thousand climate botherers aka delegates. Most of them will arrive from all parts of the world in fuel-guzzling jets – just like they do every year, wherever the venue is. It’s the make-work scheme that never ends. Who’s paying?

A major United Nations climate change summit will take place in Glasgow, reports BBC News.

The UK has won the bid to host the 26th Conference of the Parties, known as COP26, following a partnership with Italy.

Up to 30,000 delegates are expected to attend the event at Glasgow’s Scottish Events Campus (SEC) at the end of next year.

It is designed to produce an international response to the climate emergency.

The UK will host the main COP summit while Italy will host preparatory events and a significant youth event, as part of the agreement.

Claire Perry, UK nominated president for COP26, said: “In 2020, world leaders will come together to discuss how to tackle climate change on a global scale – and where better to do so than Glasgow, one of the UK’s most sustainable cities with a great track record for hosting high-profile international events.”

The Scottish government’s Climate Change Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said the decision to host COP26 in Scotland was right “given our leadership on climate action”.

She continued: “Scotland was one of the first countries in the world to acknowledge the global climate emergency and the Scottish government has introduced the toughest targets in the UK to ensure our action matches the scale of our climate ambitions.

“We look forward to working collaboratively with partners to deliver an ambitious and effective conference that ensures Scotland plays a leading role to help promote the increased global effort to tackle climate change.”

    30,000 delegates eh? Skeptics excluded of course. Unless Lord Christopher manages to slip in, disguised as a watermelon or something.

    “A significant youth event”. It really does sound ever more like fascist or Communist stuff. No doubt lots of marching and slogans to be chanted

    Don’t Overhype the Link between Climate Change and Hurricanes
    By JUDITH CURRY
    September 10, 2019

    Why, then, is there so much hype about man-made climate change in the news media after every catastrophic hurricane? Rather than referencing these assessment reports, sensationalized news coverage of the issue tends to lean on activist climate scientists with little or no expertise in hurricanes, implying that their speculative perspective represents the “consensus.”

    Insofar as there is any such “consensus,” it is a weak one.

    Don’t Overhype — but chances are they will do.

    This is all a sneaky move by Trump to regenerate Prestwick Airport for his golf business. The COP will bring major tourist input to the airport and they can have a round of golf between sessions.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-turnberry-military-spending-conflict-of-interest-glasgow-prestwick-airport-a9096086.html

    “Congress is investigating Donald Trump over allegations the president may have profited from his presidency. The probe follows revelations that US military funds were spent in the president’s Turnberry golf course.

    The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is probing financial transactions at the property and nearby Glasgow Prestwick Airport.

    “The airport closest to the Trump Turnberry golf course – Glasgow Prestwick Airport – has been viewed as integral to the golf course’s financial success, yet it too has lost millions of dollars every year since its purchase by the Scottish Government in 2013.”

  8. Graeme No.3 says:

    @dennisambler:

    Are you saying that the Scottish Government can’t run an airport at a profit, but a foreign businessman can?
    I would suspect that these funds were spent on security aspects around a visit by him.

    36 = 1+(3*5*7*11*13)/11/(3+5+7+11+13)
    36 = 2*(11+(3*5*7)/(3+5+7))
    396 = 2*11*(11+(3*5*7)/(3+5+7))
    396 = 11+(3*5*7*11*13)/(3+5+7+11+13)
