‘Climate Action Is Unstoppable’: UN Chief Warns Trump Against Withdrawing From The Paris Accord

U.N. Secretary General António Guterres issued a veiled warning to President Donald Trump during his first major speech on global warming should the U.S. withdraw from the Paris agreement on climate change.

Guterres said countries can either “get on board or get left behind” when it comes to taking action on global warming because they will miss out on new economic opportunities from greener industries.

“Climate change is undeniable,” Guterres said in his speech at New York University Tuesday. “Climate action is unstoppable. And climate solutions provide opportunities that are unmatchable.”

Looks like we may dodge a bullet here since two (count them, 2) un-named sources say Trump is getting out. This should/would accelerate the jumping ship if it were me. Oh, and a YUGE cut in u.n. funding.

If it is unstoppable, then why cripple the economy trying to stop it?
The global warming true believers really are stupid..

How many billions of taxpayer dollars did Obama squander on green energy companies that belly flopped not much later? And how much of that money ended up in his own pocket?

The only correct statement on the subject is “climate change is unstoppable”

The only correct solution involves adaptation. The only adaptation proposed is to cease human activity. That is a fools errand

Without US taxpayers’ money, it will most definitely come to a screeching halt. Same with the U.N. Move the headquarters to any other country and watch those diplomats scurry out to other posts like roaches brought into the sunlight.

Hey Gutless, we choose to be left behind!”

It isn’t the dead of winter yet, but can we just go ahead and throw the UN in the East River already?

As for the Paris agreement, we should back out and flip them off.

They never want to stop THEIR human activity ... just other folks.

They need their Lear Jets and Limos to tell the rest of us how we’re destroying the planet.

The green energy industry is dead. Cheap oil killed it.

I’m guessing that many libtards invested heavily in it and are trying to prop it up but they will not succeed.

Time to provide U.N. Secretary General António Guterres with an unveiling of the TRUTH.

He has no army and his operation has no ability to tax and raise funds for operations.

The U.N. is a parasite.

The supra-national elites said "multiculturalism" would lead to all kinds of economic opportunities too.

What a silly argument. Somehow, shifting reliance to more expensive energy is "good for the economy"? If it is, that shift will happen by market forces.

Also, the US or any other country can follow a "green path" without being compelled to do so by an agreement or a treaty. The fact that this stooge is alarmed is a sign that he feels "he" (other countries) is losing the power to control a segment of the US market.

‘Unstoppable’....until their funding runs out. :)

It would be easier and cheaper to drop the lies and just deal with things as they are, not as you ‘say’, in order to con whole nations with a fabrication you can’t prove.

Facts? what facts? I guess peanut size countries with NO power love having it all their own way, in exchange for buying into the hype and BS.

Cutting them for bait is going to be pure, unalloyed bliss!

Advise to Antonio.

Never Threaten the US of A. All that mix it up with us wind up on the floor of the dust bin of history.

[UN Chief Warns Trump Against Withdrawing From The Paris Accord]

The UN CHIEF should follow the warning of the CEO of WEATHER.

JEREMIAH 5:21
21Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see,who have ears but do not hear: 22Should you not fear me?” declares the Lord. “Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it.

23But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. 24They do not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’ 25Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have deprived you of good.

Opportunities to advance globalism and socialism.

“Unstoppable”? You mean like Hitler’s War Machine or the Soviet Union?

Ah yes.. "green industries," such as the stunningly successful Solyndra?
