The head of the United Nations warned Wednesday that the “gates of hell” are at hand as climate change intensifies, and top international officials said the world’s leaders still aren’t doing nearly enough to curb pollution of heat-trapping gases. They pleaded with major emitting nations to do more.
Those nations remained silent. They weren’t allowed to speak because, organizers said, they had no new actions to take.
The only countries that touted their efforts — “first movers and doers,” the United Nations called them — were responsible for just one-ninth of the world’s annual carbon pollution.
“Humanity has opened the gates to hell,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said Wednesday, opening a special climate ambition summit with yet another plea for action. “ Horrendous heat is having horrendous effects. Distraught farmers watching crops carried away by floods. Sweltering temperatures spawning disease. And thousands fleeing in fear as historic fires rage.” […]

(And don’t suggest a monkey with darts.)

Yeah, if more sheep buy into the lie of climate change/crisis. Those will be the gates of hell. Maybe some virgins to Vesuvius or pele will stop the acts of nature. Fidiots. 😵🐑
I remember when they were still called acts of God.
Someone tell the MORON he lives on a Carbon Based Planet
Looks like Monty Hall isn’t running things here.
Pretty sure no such thing as “net zero”. Well, except my internet mail thing. 😁👍
Windows updates says it cuts carbon ,LOL
Good thing plastics occur naturally in nature.
Carbon dioxide does NOT control the climate. It’s all propaganda.
The attendees all flew in by private jets, of course....
;-)
Yes, more wailing and gnashing of teeth and the usual rush on the world’s treasuries.
The sheer over-the-top hyperbole these demagogues spew is utterly laughable. Anyone who believes such obvious, shallow fear-mongering deserves to be a slave.
