We look down at the opening of the 28th international climate summit, the "UN Conference on Climate Change" gathering in an eco-region that is among the richest in oil/gas on Earth. The contrast between climate change and oil/gas could not be more stark. The scientific data has added up, producing a cause-effect case that now will be put on view by the nations of the world gathered in the UAE. Decades of Earth-monitoring and Atmospheric science, including from constellations of of Earth observations from space, are measuring and monitoring, and tracking changes, modeling and projecting. The reality of the fossil fuel 'externalities' in the form of greenhouse gases emitted by carbon-based fossil fuels is now, again, in focus, even as climate change denial forces attempt to slow and stop progress toward renewable energy.

Tune in to the news coverage this week and next. It will be an event to remember -- and time to get with the action.
