Global warming should be called global heating, says key scientist

“Warm” is a more friendly word. People like to be warm. “Heating” sounds more scary.

That’s really what this is about.

The two words really mean the same thing for all intents and purposes. A heating system warms your house. A heating system also heats your house.

Global warming, or heating, or whatever, is only one part of a continuing cycle to climate change, both up and down in the temperature scale.

The cycle includes global cooling, or even global deep freezes, as well.

And none, NONE, of it could in any be attributed to the presence or the activities of the species Homo Sapiens.

Indeed. And the next cooling cycle (predicted to be much worse than the "Little Ice Age") is scheduled to begin in 2020!

Professor Valentina Zharkova Breaks Her Silence and CONFIRMS “Super” Grand Solar Minimum

Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October, 2018. The information she unveiled should shake/wake you up.
Zharkova was one of the few that correctly predicted solar cycle 24 would be weaker than cycle 23 — only 2 out of 150 models predicted this.
Her models have run at a 93% accuracy and her findings suggest a Super Grand Solar Minimum is on the cards beginning 2020 and running for 350-400 years.

Betts should have added his financial bosses are getting impatient:

13 Dec: Bloomberg: From Mars to Ikea, Concerns Emerge About Vague Climate Rules
By Jeremy Hodges
Yet delegates and observers to the discussions say what’s emerging from the meeting in Katowice is likely to fall short on specifics such as when more of the $100 billion a year in promised climate aide will flow and how a global carbon market might be revived. With U.S. President Donald Trump and the government in China pushing priorities other than the environment, companies along with pressure groups are voicing unease about the direction of the UN talks and the deal they are due to produce this weekend...
“Weak rules create uncertainty,” said Jake Schmidt, who watches the talks for the Natural Resources Defense Council, a U.S. advocacy group...

There’s a number of sticking points:
*On carbon markets, envoys deliberated how a specific project can qualify as one that has cut emissions, how to avoid double-counting those cuts and what baseline is acceptable to use as a comparison.
*Debate over a Sustainable Development Mechanism was holding up the promise of expanding a global cap-and-trade market covering carbon emissions.
*Developing nations are seeking more certainty on when richer nations will meet their pledge to channel $100 billion a year in climate-related aid. An official report showed those funds are at least $30 billion short at the moment(???)...
