Achim Steiner, executive director of the U.N. Environment Program, warned the council that time is running out to respond.
“It is the speed of environmental change, including climate change, that will be increasingly at the heart of our collective concern and response,” he said in a statement posted on the U.N. website.
“There can be little doubt today that climate change has potentially far-reaching implications for global stability and security in economic, social and environmental terms which will increasingly transcend the capacity of individual nation states to manage.”
FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!
F you, Lib.
