After a summer of intense heat and record temperatures across many parts of Europe, the focus on climate change has again been intensified, and the Minister for the Environment, Sustainability, and Climate Change Dr John Cortes is concerned over Gibraltar’s progress on this pivotal issue.
Dr Cortes reflected on his frustration with the current state of play in terms of combating the changing weather patterns: “It should not surprise anyone that I feel that we need more progress on climate change. I have often stated that I will never feel that enough is being done on the environment.”
“This is part of who I am. I am worried about the future of our planet and it frustrates me that some people still need convincing, or simply won’t act with the urgency that we need.”
“A government cannot achieve the ambitious and important aims in a climate change strategy, which to me sets a minimum of what needs to be done, on its own.” He added.
“There has been significant progress including in the private sector, but society as a whole has to embrace the climate emergency with more vigour.
“Private individuals, business and all those in the private sector, and those directly or indirectly working in the public sector need to do more, more quickly, and be more ambitious.”
It is now closing in on a year since COP26 was held in Glasgow, where the main goals included limiting global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees this century, and to secure net zero carbon emissions by the middle of this century.
Meeting the net zero target will be a Herculean task of accelerating the phase-out of coal and other fossil fuels that are major part of the global energy base, curtailing deforestation, speeding up the switch to electric vehicles, and also to escalate the investment in renewable energy.

# Carbon dioxide isn’t a “pollutant” causing global warming, it’s the elixir of life itself
Thursday, November 17, 2022 by: Ethan Huff
(Natural News) The next time someone tells you that we all must reduce our “carbon footprint” in order to save the planet from “climate change,” be sure to remind that person that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the elixir of life.
Without CO2, all plant life would die – which means all humans and animals would also die. CO2 is plant food, after all, facilitating photosynthesis and the life cycle itself.
Removing CO2 from the planet like the climate cultists are demanding would render the entire world barren of life. It would quickly become a wasteland marked with death and destruction – and would certainly not be a paradise.
For the past several years, the corporate-controlled media, leftist politicians, and members of the Church of Global Warming have been telling us all that CO2 is a “pollutant.” Nothing could be further from the truth. (Related: CO2 has absolutely nothing to do with global temperatures.)
“CO2 emissions from industrial processes of the last two centuries have been highly beneficial to plant growth,” writes Vijay Jayaraj.
“Scientific studies show that CO2 has played a significant role in the re-greening of the earth after abnormally low CO2 levels had limited much of the planet’s vegetation due to CO2 starvation.”
The massive increase in food production over the past century, which allows for the feeding of eight billion people worldwide, would also not have been possible without CO2 – not to mention slightly warmer temperatures in some areas that are more suited for agriculture.
Scientific American says CO2 is a fertilizer that keeps forests and nature vibrant
Ironically enough, CO2 is also responsible for keeping the planet green, as in rich and lush with trees, fauna, and other plant life. Without CO2, the entire planet would be brown and barren.
For all of their talk about embracing a “green” agenda, the greenies are fighting against the very things that actually keep the planet green in color. Talk about insanity.
According to Scientific American, CO2 acts as a fertilizer to keep natural ecosystems intact. Forests, jungles, savannahs, tundra, and everything in between all rely on CO2 to thrive, keeping animals and humans alive as part of the food chain.
Amazingly, increases in CO2 from the pre-industrial age until now have allowed for “increased trees” productivity of around 23 percent. This means that CO2 is actively greening the planet and making it more livable.
“For most of the other plants humans eat – including wheat, rice and soybeans – having higher CO2 will help them directly … Doubling CO2 from pre-industrial levels does boost the productivity of crops like wheat by some 11.5 percent and of those such as corn by around 8.4 percent,” says Francis Moore, a professor at the UC Davis.
Particularly in areas of the world that were not traditionally as favorable to agriculture, rising CO2 levels have helped to make their land more arable and productive for food. This means more people are able to eat.
In India, studies have found that farmers using greenhouses have been able to grow seven times more food using 90 percent less water, all thanks to rising CO2 levels.
“Eighty-two per cent of farmers in India have small-scale operations of less than five acres,” Jayaraj notes. “For them, greenhouse farms with elevated CO2 levels can prove to be a life-altering endeavour, especially when the entire greenhouse setup costs just $2,500.”
“I am celebrating CO2 not just for the greenhouse produce it feeds but for enabling and enriching life on our planet,” he concludes. “To demonise this elixir of practically all living things is pure insanity.”
Carbon dioxide isn’t a “pollutant” causing global warming, it’s the elixir of life itself

It was possible, in the past, to find a balance between low emission-levels and what the trees could recycle into oxygen. It is possible to have low carbon-dioxide levels with lots of trees to recycle it. It is IMPOSSIBLE to have high levels with no trees and STAY ALIVE and that is what the Prophecies say. Man has already destroyed more than two-thirds of the world's trees and is rapidly working to destroy the last third, whilst also rapidly increasing emissions, and man THINKS that he is SANE.
https://jahtruth.net/envird.htm
The destruction of the Earth's rain forests by cutting (an estimated fourteen acres every minute) is constantly decreasing the production of oxygen (and rainfall) necessary for life, while other forests in Europe and North America are being poisoned by acid rain. The 'green-house' effect of overheating the Earth by excessive hydrocarbons and carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere, contributed to mainly by car-exhausts, is causing global-warming and the melting of the polar ice-caps and glaciers, causing raised ocean-levels and un-seasonal and adverse weather patterns, known as the El-Niño (Christ child), which was prophesied 2,500 years ago in 2 Esdras, as being one of the 'Signs of The End Time' and La-Niña weather effects.

Message to COP27: There is no climate emergency
November 9, 2022
By TCW
THE shindig known as COP27 is now in full swing in the sunny Egyptian resort of Sharm El Sheikh. The great and good gathered there are being sent an open letter by Climate Intelligence (Clintel), an independent foundation launched by two Dutch men, geophysicist Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok, telling them precisely why they are wasting their time and our money. On the contrary, they are doing enormous harm.
It’s a brilliantly clear statement which deserves to be widely circulated to everyone deluded by the climate emergency myth, and particularly to our MPs who appear to have not the slightest idea what the consequences of Net Zero will be. This is the letter:
Your Excellencies:
By the year 2030, historians will wonder with amazement how it could happen that the UN in previous decades had proposed far-reaching climate-related measures that totally failed to arrest global warming, but instead would have the unintended consequence of an unprecedented negative impact on the world’s prosperity and well-being.
They will wonder why many people at that time unquestioningly believed in an ‘existential climate crisis’. That crisis narrative was based on outdated ‘over-heated’ computer models, in turn widely supported by mainstream media. They will consider it beyond belief that a senior UN official in September 2022 audaciously declared that ‘we own the science, and we think the world should know it and the (social media) platforms also’.
Indeed, why did the UN and IPCC ignore Clintel letters (the most recent in October 2021), clearly pointing out serious scientific flaws in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report? Why did IPCC refuse any open debate on these flaws? Does the UN not realise that Clintel’s global network now embodies greater objective scientific knowledge than exists within IPCC?
They will wonder why the world did not loudly protest the spread of the superstition that climate science was fully understood (‘The Science is Settled’, the UN and politicians declared). That superstition regrettably led to legislation on totally unnecessary social engineering measures with net-zero CO2 targets (‘mitigation’).
Indeed, why didn’t the UN then want to let the world see that the mitigation measures they proposed were scientifically nonsensical, technically unfeasible, economically unaffordable and, ultimately, socially unacceptable?
Why did they not admit that mitigation even at a global scale – as already proven in the pandemic of 2020 – would have imperceptible effect on climate?
Why did they also not want the world to know about the fact that CO2 is an essential building block for life on earth? More CO2 is indispensable in making the earth greener. Looking at all the facts, more CO2 is much more likely to bring net benefits than net harm!
They will also wonder why an extremely expensive transition to intermittent renewables was pursued without realising that the transition would lead to major economic problems.
Indeed, why didn’t people then recognise that reliable energy supply with solar panels and wind turbines was technically impossible without the future availability of affordable large-scale electrical energy storage?
Why then didn’t people recognise that mass generation of solar and wind energy would create a serious shortage on materials such as copper and neodymium?
And why then were conventional fossil fuel power plants banned, particularly in Africa, while there was as yet no affordable and reliable alternative? Much of the serious energy crisis was erroneously blamed on the war in Ukraine; the reality however was that world leaders had not promoted investment in conventional reliable power generation to maintain economic well-being and societal stability.
Fortunately, today it is not yet 2030 and we still have time to make the necessary changes. What is needed to make that happen?
Here are three suggestions for you, the global political leaders:
- Depoliticise climate science, discarding computer models that do not match reality, focusing instead on real-world climate observations and the latest climate science, listening carefully to objective interventions from independent experts.
- Change climate policy from the senseless mitigation approach to the successful adaptation method. Mitigation is prohibitively expensive and has never saved a single human life and will do very little to alter an ever-changing climate. Adaptation, on the other hand, is affordable, can be precisely focused and has already saved millions of lives. Adaptation is without a doubt the way to go in climate policy.
- Invest in extending and replenishing the world’s oil and gas reserves. Be realistic, the world will still need oil and gas for several decades. In parallel, go full steam ahead with developing nuclear power, the energy source of the future.
Dear Excellencies, you are meeting at COP27 apparently to promote continuation of failed global climate policy. It would be a crime against the African people to require them to base their energy system on intermittent wind and solar power. After all, that would push the more than 1.3billion people there further into poverty. Economic development cannot happen without affordable and reliable energy supplies.
Africa must make full use of affordable indigenous fossil fuels for power generation, with a future plan for a network of modern nuclear power plants. With plenty of affordable energy, the supply of clean drinking water can also be guaranteed.
Next, full efforts should be made to apply adaptation technology, especially for growing tailor-made crops (‘precision farming’) and for securing against extreme weather (‘risk minimisation’). Those, as you well know, are the real and urgent needs of Africa.
The above points are the messages from Clintel to all of the global political leaders arriving in their private jets to attend the COP27 meeting in the luxury resort of Sharm El-Sheikh. We beg you, our political leaders, to be conscientious of the daily realities of grinding poverty of the forgotten people living on the African continent in the shadow of your flightpath.
On behalf of the Clintel ambassadors,
Guus Berkhout
President of Clintel

22 countries want to triple nuclear power. Is there enough uranium to go around?
Uranium has been hot this year, industry experts say. The trouble is there may not be enough to go around.
The squeeze on the metal, found in rocks and seawater, intensified recently after 22 countries, including the US, recently signed a pact at the UN Climate Change conference to triple their nuclear power capacity by 2050.
"There’s no other way to meet those net-zero carbon goals other than nuclear energy," said Nicole Galloway Warland, managing director of Thor Energy , an exploration company with projects in Utah and Colorado.
The backdrop to all this is, of course, is the march towards cleaner energy. But the rise of EVs and the anticipated power demands of artificial intelligence computing are also going to create a demand crunch for clean electricity — and nuclear is seen as a power source, unlike oil or coal, without the downside of carbon dioxide emissions.
That means the demand for uranium, the underlying fuel for nuclear plants, will be on the rise for years to come, experts and miners contend.
"Where is that uranium going to come from?," asked Galloway Warland. "There’s not enough to go around. There’s a supply deficit."
Earlier this month, the world's largest uranium miner, Kazatomprom (KAP.IL), warned it will likely not meet its production targets in the next two years because of mine construction delays and a lack of sulfuric acid needed for uranium production. Uranium prices shot up to 2007 levels this month, sitting above $106 per pound.
Uranium-related stocks have also been on fire.
Shares of Canadian giant Cameco (CCJ) have gained 83% over the past year. Kazatomprom, which trades on the London stock exchange, is up more than 60% over the past six months. Shares of US-based Energy Fuels are up about 25% during the same period.
'Uranium is becoming a household name'
A psychological shift surrounding nuclear is clearly helping fuel the market frenzy.
"Nuclear power now has been realized as the new, vogue way of providing all this baseline power,"
