For the record, we have this warming problem pretty well knocked here in Connecticut.

When the ENTIRE UN Staff goes Carbon Negative for 18 months, I will stop and listen to what they have to say.

If they shift all of their various Headquarters to Chad, CAR or Yemen I will listen in 16 months.

If ALL of their Conferences and various Assemblages of High Muckety-Mucks are held in towns of 100,000 population, elevation less than 2,000 feet located within 15 degrees of the Equator AND the first two conditions are met, I will listen in 12 months.

Just so they all don’t die of heat stroke, they can take a break in villages in North Korea, Nov-Feb, as long as there are no facilities for the military brass or the Communist Party elite and the population is less than 5,000.

Y’all have fun, now!!

BTW, it rained here quite heavily a month ago, and then there was a light frost on the ground the next morning. Then we’ve had record-breaking lows for the last few days. I’m pretty sure all of this has been caused by climate change. Who should I report this to?

Seth Borenstein is well connected to if not part of the “inside group” of warmist alarmists, starring famed Hockey Stick originator, Michael Mann. Anything he writes about this topic is pure propaganda. He has no credibility as either a journalist or scientist. The fact he now writes for AP shows how desperately far it has fallen as an objective news source.

Looks like what used to be a tired old “and, and, and ....” supplement to the Communist Party Platform is now becoming a platform for world government, Communist style ..... especially the part about suppressing every meme that is not Official Truth.

Anymore of this global warming and there will be no crops due to the freezing temperatures.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

As for the UN, what do you expect when you put anti-semites and petty tyrants in charge of something.

You put your finger on the REAL concern - that the UN was not going to get its “greedy fingers” on our money.

In any scenario of gloom and doom, follow the money to find out who is pushing the line of disaster, and how they would benefit from “averting” said disaster.

It has happened millions of times, but people do exaggerate to emphasize a point.

Nothing is ever as bad as it seemed last night in the dark.

And if it is, how would anybody be able to make an unbiased observation?

No warming in the last 15 years? Now, some scientists admit the warming isn't hiding in the deep ocean as they have claimed.

Damn that warming is clever! Hiding out for years only to jump out and barbeque us! And, Seth, when will this happen? 2050? Seriously?

This is sounding more and more like the Population Bomb hoax. It's always in the future.

Can somebody arrange a trip for these bozos to the Amazon basin and point out the richest and most varied ecosystem on the planet? Oh, and leave them there?

The depth of the stupidity of our rulers is unfathomable. Remember when the U.N. decided to shut down the A/C there on the weekends in 2008? Ever wonder how long it lasted? Probably until the first batch of computers had to be replaced and/or until they walked in to an unbearably hot building on Monday morning.

I’m a systems engineer and it drives me absolutely crazy when the “Smart, Concerned” people pick a single piece of a complex system and determine they can ‘fix’ it. They make as much sense as sacrificing virgins to ensure the sun comes up in the morning.....

“How did so many crazy people get in charge of our gov’t and the U.N.?’

They are not crazy. They have different assumptions about reality than we do.

They see nothing wrong with lying if it advances their cause. The biggest sin that they have is getting caught, and then, only if it leads to failure.

The have no problem with lying about global warming or “climate change” because they think it necessary to concentrate power in the hands of well meaning technocrats.

They do not admit that the technocrats have agendas of their own that can be more destructive than any evil they claim to control.

Perhaps we can say they are crazy, but only if we posit that believing that power is the only thing that matters is crazy.

I say it is closer to evil than crazy.

What the UN actually said is: “We are lunatic luddite assholes with little to no knowledge of basic physics or science of any kind and anything we say about climate should be ignored.” A translation issue.
