NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
I have yet to watch what Fox News has to offer but I will be surprised if Davos turns out to be as dynamic as COP 28 – another gab fest with stupendous access requirements and carbon O. consequences.
Should we take comfort from the fact that the UK’s governing body are not the only stupid people in the west, or should we be worried?
Worried – what a lot of nonsense. Can you believe anyone would want to ban the growing of rice?
I have been waiting for this one since a third of our methane emissions come from growing rice.
Elites? No. Unless you mean of the criminal world?
These people are certifiable.
They ignore facts and science.
They make up their stories to look good in the eyes of equally daft people.
CO² has indeed risen.
From 0.03% to 0.04% of the atmosphere.
If it drops to 0.02% live on Earth will slowly die.
We need more, not less CO².
Thank goodness for the likes of China and India which will keep World CO2 levels topped up!
In the UK we can virtue signal on reducing our CO2 emissions until we ruin ourselves and it won’t make the slightest difference to World CO2 levels.
In 20 minutes today at Midday Friday on Radio Four is “Rare Earth”.
Intro statement includes “it is surprising how much food affects Climate Change”.
First of a series I imagine weekly.
Could inspire complaints to the BBC if statements not backed up with data…..
It’s correct, if everyone stops eating food, eventually there will be nobody to worry about anything.
Not quite as depressing as the title would suggest:

WEF at Davos seems to me to be at lower level this year, the usual suspects are there, John Kerry, Al Gore, but I have not seen much reporting of movie stars and luvvies, and I have not seen much of Uncle Fester (Schwab) on the telly.
Cameron and Hunt went and Riley from the opposition.
The best article I saw was all the prostitutes were booked solid.

I remember visiting Grenchen in Switzerland 40 years ago to trouble shoot the factory and popping down to the hotel bar for a drink, I was somewhat confused by the old guy on the door who insisted that I had to buy a ticket, he had a little machine like a bus conductor. Once I got in with my mate I quickly realised it was not my handsome good looks which was attracting all the girls!
The worst is Nazi-in-Chief Charles Schwab saying that elections will be replaced by AI in the future. This may be a lie and that he really means that elections will be banned once Fascists are in control.
Klaus, not Charles Schwab.
So Fox news aspires to be clever and glossy. The doomsters are well covered but not compelling.
Better if Fox had referred to the speech given by Milei Argentina’s new president. Writing in today’s London Times Gerard Baker, who seems to be a Republican, refers to Milei’s “dazzling speech” as being reminiscent of the revolutionary cries that broke earlier regimes based on globalism and collectivism.
His message was a modern version of a call for the people to take back their destiny from the powerful. You could say that is Davos and the procession of catastrophists and hand wringers are a side show.
So nothing too profound from Fox, playing to the MAGA Republicans.
Ryan Bourne writing in the business section of the same Times gets his teeth into the detail particularly of the history of Argentine governance and economy.. He writes as the R Evan Scharf chair for Public Understanding of Economics at the Cato institute
