(CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State John Kerry has called climate change “the biggest challenge of all that we face right now,” and his French counterpart has warned of climate “chaos” in 500 days, and now the U.N. climate change chief is implying that climate change can be viewed on a par with the deadly Ebola outbreak.
Christiana Figueres told a World Health Organization (WHO)-hosted event in Geneva Wednesday that “we are not very far” from the point where climate change should be declared an international public health emergency, according to her prepared remarks.
Under international health regulations, a PHEIC is declared in a case where “an extraordinary event” is determined to constitute a public health risk through the international spread of disease; and “to potentially require a coordinated international response.”

Is an Ebola epidemic that’s now claimed more than 1000 lives a “Public Health Emergency?”
Something that is not happening is a public health emergency?
How about a Russian invasion, is that not a problem?
“Is an Ebola epidemic that’s now claimed more than 1000 lives a “Public Health Emergency?””
No...
It does nothing to enrich connecte Socialists/Oligarchs, or to transfer wealth from the west to the third world.
If they could just provide an example of this climate change....
I’m sorry, but I live in the real world and right now, the real world dictates that ISIS is more of a threat to “Public Health Emergency”.
Morons
Guaranteed that the death camps start soon.
Translation:Al Gore made millions on this carbon scam and by God we’re not going away until we get our payday too.
The West African Ebola epidemic was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the WHO on August 8, 2014.
A reasonable response to this Public Health Emergency would be to confiscate 100% of savings accounts and suspend voting rights for all climate change “deniers”. Drooling sycophants will only be charged 50% of their savings accounts.
While this response may seem harsh, the turning back of extreme climate change will be worth it. That is all.
Speaking at the conference Wednesday, Chan linked climate change to the emergence of new human diseases. She said many of these originate in wild animals, whose populations, concentration and incursion into areas where humans live are impacted by climate variables.
But she cautioned against speculation that Ebola may be affected by climate.
“I am aware of speculation that climate change may influence the frequency of outbreaks of Ebola virus disease,” she said. “I must emphasize we have no evidence that this is the case.”
You’re right.
During the final weeks of his presidency, Reagan warned us several times that freedom is not free, it is not passes down throught the bloodline. If must be fought for and preserved by each generation. If not, you’ll be telling your kids and grandkids what it was like in America when men were free.
The UN needs to be closed down — at once and permanently.
What arrogance! Like man has anything, ANYTHING! to do with the temperature of this planet.
“the biggest challenge of all that we face right now,”
Oh yeah. And the “IS” bearded bastards are not a problem? And your policies that kill jobs are not a problem? And ebola? And racial animosity?
A world controlled by Global Warming Nuts = ISIS on Steroids
There were two young (skulls full of mush) callers into the KLBJ morning show yesterday and they were insisting that there are less than 10 years to reverse the climate change effects people have on the course of planet history. Talk about indoctrination in the pubic sckrewels.
notice the article about why we can’t beat the soviets?
guess the elites were wrong about that one too.
Lack of dictatorial powers is a public heath emergency. Got it.
