Greenhouse gas levels hit record; world struggles to curb damage

Greenhouse gas concentrations hit a record last year and the world is "way off track" on capping rising temperatures, the United Nations said on Monday, showing the task facing climate talks in Glasgow aimed at averting dangerous levels of warming.
A report by the U.N. World Meteorological Organization (WMO) showed carbon dioxide levels surged to 413.2 parts per million in 2020, rising more than the average rate over the last decade despite a temporary dip in emissions during COVID-19 lockdowns.
WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said the current rate of increase in heat-trapping gases would result in temperature rises "far in excess" of the 2015 Paris Agreement target of 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average this century.
"We are way off track," he said. "We need to revisit our industrial, energy and transport systems and whole way of life," he added, calling for a "dramatic increase" in commitments at the COP26 conference beginning on Sunday.
Man made climate change is one of the biggest frauds ever foisted on the public by climate alarmists. Sure, the climate is changing and has been for eons. To say that it will destroy the world in short order unless we completely change our lifestyles and spend trillions of dollars in a forced massive distribution of wealth is a huge fraud. I am all for being a good steward of the environment and having clean air and water. But much of the Green New Deal is garbage and dangerous.
Here is a link to an excellent video which demonstrates how climate alarmists are cherry picking points in time to make their false arguments:
