Climate change may well be a problem, but the chief of the United Nations’ agency on climate says it won’t destroy the world – and shouldn’t stop young people from having children. Alarmist rhetoric from “doomsters and extremists” that babies will destroy the planet “resembles religious extremism” and “will only add to [young women’s] burden” by “provoking anxiety,” he said.
Petteri Taalas is no “climate-change denier.” He is secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the UN’s special agency on weather and climate with 193 member states and territories. The WMO’s most recent global climate report states that “evidence exists of anthropogenic drivers” for carbon emissions (but not that they are “[d]etermining the causal factors” of natural disasters). Talaas’ foreword was followed by statements from both the UN secretary-general and the president of the UN General Assembly. And Taalas recently called for “urgent climate action.”
That makes his calming words all the more significant.
Man-made climate change, Taalas says, “is not going to be the end of the world. The world is just becoming more challenging. In parts of the globe living conditions are becoming worse, but people have survived in harsh conditions.”
The real threat today, he says, is from misguided environmental extremism, which demands the world make radical changes to their economic – and personal – lives or become complicit in genocide.
“While climate skepticism has become less of an issue, now we are being challenged from the other side,” Taalas says. “They are doomsters and extremists; they make threats.”

AMERICA needs more 3 child families. Hate to say it but government policy may be necessary. A stable couple, married 10 years are the ideal candidates. A skilled tradesman from another country with 3 ready made kids can be fast tracked for citizenship if he/she can be matched with an employer + a church. Hopefully they can be interviewed beforehand by folks that think like us. I say American tourists are the ideal interviewers. Close knit foreigners can add a nephew or niece to their family. Oh, deport all illegals with a rap sheet for starters. Save money.
Translation: We really don’t mean it. We just say it to get you to surrender power to us.
I think we’d be a lot better off if those who think people can change the climate would just kill themselves.
Wow, coming from the UN this is great.
The entire third world needs birth control dumped into its drinking water.
If speaking of cortez, please do not encourage her or her sort.
...and unlimited power is no fun if there aren't any people to rule with an iron fist.
3 kids, already in high demand there, and can shoot coyotes consistently past 1,000 yards heh.
What else is in the interview?
Make babies, lefties will need to eat something...
Yeah now their plans are for people to eat people.
So go figure.
Sanity? In the UN?
No. What they need is free marked capitalism, and relief from despots. And a little education.
Who knows? One of those babies might grow-up and discover the clean energy breakthrough you are all yearning for.
