Biggest Threat to Humanity? Climate Change, U.N. Chief Says

UNITED NATIONS — Nuclear weapons? Famine? Civil war? Nope.

The United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, on Thursday called climate change “the most systemic threat to humankind” and urged world leaders to curb their countries’ greenhouse gas emissions.

He didn’t say much, though, about the one world leader who had pulled out of the landmark United Nations climate change agreement: President Trump.

Instead, Mr. Guterres suggested that Mr. Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris accord nearly a year ago didn’t matter much. The American people, he said, were doing plenty.

“Independently of the position of the administration, the U.S. might be able to meet the commitments made in Paris as a country,” the secretary general said. “And, as you know, all around the world, the role of governments is less and less relevant.”

Biggest threat to humanity? Turning their back on Creator God. 2nd biggest threat—UN sponsored terrorism and the Deep State’s desire to overthrow the U.S. and turn it into an Islamo-facist state.

“”STATE OF FEAR”” by Michael Crichton....It should be required reading in every classroom in the country, for every politician, and anyone even thinking about “public service” - (ahem).

He wrote it years ago (2004). I’ve read it several times - and he documents every FACT he’s included in the fictional story that refutes the entire scare tactic of global warming, climate change blah blah! It’s probably better documented than any scientific journal piece....

He refers to the PLM - “politico-legal-media” complex (necessary components) and it’s dedicated to promoting fear in the population - under the guise of promoting safety...Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

EXCELLENT and highly recommended reading! Of course, anyone reading this post already knows the whole idea is not worth warm spit....but you’ll enjoy it...

The biggest threat to humanity is the godless politics of these self-serving, eugenics promoting, fascists.

“”STATE OF FEAR”” by Michael Crichton...

Another interesting read by Crichton is the lecture he gave at CalTech: Aliens Cause Global Warming.
