COP28: Is the era of fossil fuels over? | DW News

A deal has been reached at the Global Climate conference COP28 in Dubai. After all night talks, a new text was released in the early morning - and approved just a few hours later. The agreement calls for "transitioning away" from all fossil fuels, including coal, oil and gas.

    While these conferences are needed, people put too much faith in just talk. Didn't a US presidential candidate just announce he is going to drill, drill, drill if elected? Addressing climate change can only be successfully done when the global community gets past all the coffee chat, and starts putting all the talk into action.

    To the now KING OF ENGLAND and ALL AT COP 28. FULMINOLOGY CLEAN FREE ENERGY HIDDEN IN ARCHIVES. Dear Prince Charles, Once upon a time, on 11th September 2004 to be exact, a Gran and Granddad were driving back from babysitting their grandchildren when all of a sudden Gran shouted: "WATCH OUT". Granddad was not looking where he was going and nearly crashed the van they were in. Granddad said he was "Sorry, and that he was put off his driving by something that caught his eye up in the sky" Granny looked up into the sky and asked "What is that?" Granddad stopped the van, and they both got out to look. "WOW," said Gran "WOW," said Granddad They were looking at a spaceship, huge, gigantic. Granddad said. "I could hit that with a catapult if I had one" Gran said. "Why doesn't it make a sound? Why are there small thundery clouds rushing inside it?" They watched the spacecraft for over Eight minutes, then it started to move slowly at first, then quite speedily. They jumped back in their van and followed it up the road till it went out of sight towards London. They never saw anyone, nor did they see any traffic pass them at that time. Gran and Granddad told their children and friends what they had seen, and most smiled and laughed at their story, mainly because the area in question has hundreds of cameras close by. If Gran and Granddad's story were true, then it would have surely been seen. Eleven years later on the anniversary of the sighting Granddad woke up early and told Gran he was going to visit the place at the exact time where they had seen the spaceship. Gran said, "Yes, go see if there's anything different?" Wow! He came back saying that the most unusual thing happened. This time there were planes in the sky, maybe four or five planes that he could see at any one time? He told Gran he saw crows flying and geese too, making sounds, Also Granddad counted the seconds for the next vehicle to pass by and could only reach 40 or so seconds then another vehicle would pass? Gran asked Granddad "What does this all mean?" Granddad said, "It means that the spaceship never got caught on cameras because it was speeding in some type of time tunnel,- a Bubble of some kind? and we both traveled in this phenomenon somehow?" "So why was the spaceship there?" said Gran, "So why were we allowed to see it? Was it the future? was it today's technology? Was the thundery rushing clouds on the inside of the Spaceship its camouflage or could it be how it was fuelled?" They have the exact time, the exact place. Surely this spaceship the size of Wembley Stadium would have left a trail somewhere? Somewhere on some radiation counters? Radar? Spectrometers?Gravitational Readings? Gran said, "All they need to do is investigate to find the answers?" Granddad sobbed and told Gran "That because of the size of the spaceship and no camera evidence, there was no way that this story would ever be believed? Because of how important this story is to mankind, and to the future I beg you all to tell your children in the hope that they find out how and why all this happened one day. yours sincerely Michael n Betty FULMINOLOGYTHE FUTURE SAVE THE PLANET

Attacking the producers of the energy source we all currently depend on is ridiculous. It involves no sacrifice. To make this transition successful, everyone has to significantly reduce their consumption of fossil fuel energy and transportation. This will effectively reduce the demand for fossil fuels and “back out” the need for them. This will require some sacrifice by all, it will cost a lot of money, and it will take time. This is reasonable and practical. I look forward to hearing your practical ideas to accomplish this.

    WOW... Have you seen how much renewables China actually uses? Here is the thing you forget about China. If you looked at all the things that you own or were made in China and then had it made in your country then your CO2 output would be higher. Everyone shifted production to China and then they want to blame them for all the emissions, sadly that is not the full picture. If all these things produced were made in the country you live in they would cost 2x the amount or more and the CO2 as a total on the planet would not be that much lower. You can't look at a country and celebrate how low its CO2 footprint is if they don't produce goods because it's BS as its Carbon is just pushed to another country that makes those goods. It would be like importing all your meats and exporting ALL your garbage and saying you have the lowest Methane footprint... all you did was hand it off to someone else.

    What caused the five ice ages prior to mankind's evolution? It must have been something built into the cosmic rhythms of the earth in the universe because we were not even here then. We are in at about the ten thousandth year since the last ice age and like it or not will eventually have another ice age in its own cycle and time frame--we are now at the stage where the glaciers melt, the sea rises, humidity increases, the temperature is then cooled by the moisture in the atmosphere (the greenhouse gases are 99 percent water vapor) and the sixth ice age we have evidence of starting will begin. We will enter the cooling period that will present our world with fresh new glaciers. The people of the time will laugh no end at Greta and her accolades who should know better and marvel at the unscrupulous users of a natural cycle for political control and domination and the sheep who believe all the B.S. we are being force fed....

    Overpopulation of sensitive areas and people having more children than they can support with fresh water and work is at issue, for sure. We can't support globalism until all nations have the capacity to provide for their own people and we are all on an equal footing economically otherwise whatever you want to call it we are re-creating colonialism. I believe the issue of Climate Control is the issue to cause the reluctant to move to Globalism before all areas of the earth are on an equal footing. This allows the leaders the opportunity to re-create class systems and to have power over populations, and to exploit those who are under-developed and then steal their resources to enrich the leaders. I don't think people will laugh at us any more than they laugh at Karl Marx today. Marx opposed the ruling class and its lies about the Divine Right of Kings and ascribing Gods will to maintaining slave/worker classes.

    ICE also don’t run at those temps, not without significant modifications. Most manufacturers recommend not starting when it’s -20C as major damage can be done to components, probably the fuel and oil pumps. For diesel, the fuel limits starts to above -9.5C. So you’d need battery, engine block, oil and fuel system heaters (all which need an energy source when the vehicle itself isn’t running), as well as modify the fuel to have a much lower vaporization temperature, which reduces its energy density.
