'Life on planet at stake', France warns as climate ministers meet

Paris (AFP) - France's top diplomat, who will preside over a year-end Paris summit tasked with inking a climate rescue pact, warned Sunday of looming planetary "catastrophe" if negotiations fail.

"It is life on our planet itself which is at stake," Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told journalists as ministers and climate envoys from 70 countries met for pre-summit talks to iron out tough political questions.

With the key UN conference just three weeks away, he also announced that Russia's President Vladimir Putin would attend the November 30 opening.

Russia, a major oil producer, is seen as a deal-maker or -breaker in the years-long attempt to negotiate the world's first truly universal pact to curb climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions.

"There is absolute urgency," said Fabius, to achieve the UN goal of limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-Industrial Revolution levels.

When is the laity going to meet, to discuss how to counter mass hysteria?

I totally agree.

Existential Cage Theory is an existential manner.

Get a cage
Put the liberal in the cage
Weld the door shut
Walk away.

Until we cage liberals, life on this planet is most assuredly at risk.

“”There is absolute urgency,” said Fabius

The mooslums invade your country and the effing weather is your first priority?

Maybe Fabius will lose his head to the Muslim horde pouring into Europe and realize, at that instant, that the planet is at stake, just not the way he thought.

It’s time to get the politicians out of science. If they continue to insist on being something they are not, put their lying @$$es in prison where they can study science.

>>”It is life on our planet itself which is at stake,”

How much ignorance can a person pack into one statement.

Does he think that the temperature in 1890 was the “perfect” temperature for erf?

Plants would disagree. They like it hot and wet. Animals can freeze to death, but heat alone rarely kills (when the temperature increase is 3.6 F).

Life will go on. Erf will be happy with the new temperature.

"Climate change" is THE communist pretext for weakening Western industry.

The other prong of the communist, two-pronged attack on the West is cultural Marxism.

There is one upside to a Islamic takeover of the world.

Gays will be persecuted, deviancy will no longer be tolerated, Politcal correctness will be banished, and Climate Change will be publicly mocked.

This is absolute stupidity. You have more to worry about from the screaming towel heads that you just brought into your countries.

Think of it as Darwinism in action. The muslims are obviously more fit than most of Europe and will take over the continent in the literal sense. Then eventually they will push until either we or they top the food chain here.

No point wasting tears on a suicidal people IMO.
