    Photosynthesis maintains aerobic life on Earth, and Joseph Priestly first demonstrated this in his eighteenth-century bell jar experiments using mice and mint plants. In order to demonstrate the fragility of life on Earth, Priestley’s experiment was recreated using a human subject placed within a modern-day bell jar.

    Joseph Priestley FRS (1733-1804) was an English chemist, natural philosopher, separatist theologian, grammarian, multi-subject educator, and liberal political theorist. He published over 150 works, and conducted experiments in electricity and other areas of science. He was a close friend of, and worked in close association with Benjamin Franklin involving electricity experiments.

    Joseph Priestley, a chemist and minister, discovered that when he isolated a volume of air under an inverted jar and burned a candle in it (which gave off CO2), the candle would burn out very quickly, much before it ran out of wax. He further discovered that a mouse could similarly “injure” air. He then showed that the air that had been “injured” by the candle and the mouse could be restored by a plant.

    In 1779, Jan Ingenhousz repeated Priestley’s experiments. He discovered that it was the influence of sunlight on the plant that could cause it to revive a mouse in a matter of hours.

    In 1796, Jean Senebier, a Swiss pastor, botanist, and naturalist, demonstrated that green plants consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen under the influence of light. Soon afterward, Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure showed that the increase in mass of the plant as it grows could not be due only to uptake of CO2 but also to the incorporation of water. Thus, the basic reaction by which photosynthesis is used to produce food (such as glucose) was outlined.

    How do you create safe zones for the chosen? ‘National’ (The irony is big!) Parks, with a few buidldings and access routes.

    Where are the preparations for climate disasters: granaries, food stores, reservoirs of potable water?

    For the mob, hoi polloi, climate warming. For others, reservations for the Nova?

    Tim Cullen reviews some of the evidence – or lack of it – for the so-called climate emergency/crisis hype, as COP27 kicks off.

    Richard North fine tunes his response to the climate crazies.

    I didn’t really want to return to the subject of CoP 27 so soon, when the issue has about as much allure as a tour of a lunatic asylum.

    Mind you, the last time I did such a tour (of a lunatic asylum), I was trailing slightly behind my group, clipboard in hand, when an inmate marched up to me, looked me in the eye and declared: “You’re a c**t”. My host, a senior official at the hospital, was most apologetic, but the only thing that really disturbed me was the unanswered question: how on earth did the inmate know?

    No such question need trouble us about the intervention of the Oaf at the conference: his status has been common knowledge for some considerable time. But the man seems to be keen to reinforce this reputation as he prepared to deliver a speech urging that “the mission to drive down fossil fuel use must not be disrupted by war in Ukraine and ‘corrosive cynicism’”.

    He is, we are told, use his appearance at the Cop27 on Monday to warn against the “naysayers” who threaten “his” net zero ambitions, adding that a “corrosive cynicism” is jeopardising efforts to wean the world away from fossil fuels. Not content with that, he will also call for the West to fight against a “defeatism” over climate change, which he blames on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

    There is no polite response to this, although in respect of his comments on “corrosive cynicism”, one might tell him to look in the mirror. But more generally, one might simply mutter, sotto voce, “well, you can f**k right off”, and move on, in anticipation that this presumptuous intervention will do more harm to the Oaf’s cause than good.

    That’s because economic self-immolation for climate change is just futile virtue signalling.

    Despite its earlier comments, it simply doesn’t seem to be able to come to terms with the reality it seeks and acknowledge that hell will freeze over before China and others follow the Western world in its determination to commit economic suicide.

    Needless to say, developing countries will applaud our self-immolation, as they build their own industries to replace those that we have destroyed, while demanding shed-loads of cash by way of reparations, to “compensate” for their chronic inabilities to manage their own affairs.

    As the world’s biggest hypocrites arrive in their private jets at the UN Climate Summit in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh (or as Rabo’s Michael Every puts it, “Sham el-Chic”), French President Emmanuel Macron quickly made an early splash (perhaps more so even than Greta who is trying to get rich from her book telling us how we need to destroy capitalism), when he “urged” the United States, China and other non-European rich nations to pay their fair share to help poorer countries deal with climate change.

    Nearly 100 heads of state and government will listen to each other speak (words pre-written by the green lobby) at the summit on Monday and Tuesday, but as always when it comes to these ridiculously idiotic boondoggles, China’s President Xi Jinping, whose country is the world’s top emitter of greenhouse gases, is not attending the conference.

    Joe Biden, head of the country which ranks second on the top-polluters list, will join COP27 later this week after his Democratic party suffers a tsunami loss in the midterm elections on Tuesday that could put Republicans hostile to international action on climate change in charge of Congress.

    Fresh from his own election victory, Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is expected to attend the summit later on, with hopes that he will protect the Amazon from deforestation after defeating climate-sceptic President Jair Bolsonaro. Spoiler alert: he won’t; if anything he will profit from accelerating it.

    Another new leader, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, reversed a decision not to attend the talks and is due to urge countries to move “further and faster” in transitioning away from fossil fuels.

    Southern Germany experienced a severe winter storm this past weekend, leading to major disruptions at Munich Airport, the nation’s second-largest aviation hub. The airport announced a halt in flight operations until 6 a.m. Sunday, following the intense snowfall that began Friday night and persisted through Saturday, German news outlet DW reported.

    On Friday, the UK government pledged a £60 million contribution to the world’s poorest countries affected by climate change at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Dubai. The Loss and Damage fund is a plan to get wealthy nations that benefited from fossil fuels during the Industrial Revolution to compensate developing states.

    The UK also announced £1.6 billion for international climate change projects throughout the summit.

    The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, more commonly referred to as COP28, is the 28th United Nations Climate Change conference, being held from 30 November until 12 December 2023 at Expo City, Dubai. The conference has been held annually since the first UN climate agreement in 1992. The COP conferences are intended for governments to agree on policies to limit global temperature rises and adapt to impacts associated with climate change.

    It could have been worse. King Charles could have ascended to his desert dais and pronounced that we had just 96 months to avert “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse”. But that was the Right Charlie back in 2009, giving us the benefit of his sandwich-board scientific wisdom. These days it is all fashionable bad weather and undefined “tipping points”. The man is now King, and at COP28 he threw away his irksome politically-neutral constitutional role, wrapped himself in Guardianista pseudoscience, and punched down hard on the poor who will be forced to pay for the collectivist madness that is the Net Zero project.

    King Charles is no friend of general humanity. Speaking at COP28, he said: “The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth.” As with many know-your-place elitists, he appears to abhor the impacts that humans have on the planet. He exhibits, sadly on a world stage, a snobbish distain for capitalism – what used to be dismissed in British aristocratic circles as ‘trade’. This capitalist trend over the last 200 years has harnessed the power of natural hydrocarbons to raise billions to a standard of living and health unimaginable to previous generations. In 2009, Charles said we can no longer afford consumerism and the “age of convenience” was over.

    Net Zero is rapidly becoming the dominant political issue of the age. Its obvious collectivist nature gathers support from mostly sectional interests in society. It has no significant grassroots support, since it aims to restrict human lifestyles and wealth on a scale never attempted before in history. It is awash with junk science, fake statistics and computer models.

    The late Queen, in her infinite wisdom, never went anywhere near it.

    Britain is bracing for ‘Ice rink Monday’ tomorrow as snow and ice are set to cause havoc for commuters on the roads.

    The UK has been hit with Arctic conditions as some of the coldest temperatures since last year were recorded last night and up to 12 inches’ snow descended on Cumbria, forcing drivers to abandon their cars in the road.

    The RAC said it is bracing for its busiest day for a year as 35,000 breakdowns are expected on Monday across all UK roadside providers, with fears that there is too much snow for grit to work, creating slippery roads for millions.

    Temperatures sunk to well below freezing last night, with -12.5C recorded in Altnaharra in the Highland region of northern Scotland, while in excess of 20cm of snow is thought to have fallen in parts of Cumbria.

    The president of Cop28 has been forced into a fierce defence of his views on climate science, after the Guardian revealed his comment that there was “no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C”.

    Al Jaber made the controversial comments in ill-tempered responses to the former UN climate envoy Mary Robinson during an online event on 21 November. During the exchange, he also said: “Show me the roadmap for a phase-out of fossil fuel that will allow for sustainable socioeconomic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves.”
