UN Climate Chief: 'Not Very Far' from Considering 'Climate Change as a Public Health Emergency'
CNS News ^ | 08/28/2014 | Patrick Goodenough

(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.”

And they will ask us why we didn’t do anything.

It means $$ in the DNC coffers, as Fannie and Freddie own a patent on residential climate ‘credits’ or whatever they’re called.

The UN probably considers “IS” as part of population control, and is anxiously awaiting attacks on Americans, since they are the cause of global warming.

Well my friend, sckrewels are now nothing more than liberal indoctrination centers. Have you noticed how lately home schooled kids usually win the National Spelling Bee? There is a reason for that. They are being taught, and not indoctrinated.

My theory is that climate change has effected the mental health of 51 percent of voters and causes them to vote for idiots.

Probably because teaching correct spelling in public schools is considered racist. They s/b able to spell the word as they pronounce it.

Possibly. I’m betting that there are all sorts of special powers hidden away in various countries’ governing documents that can be triggered (without pesky liitle things like legislative/Congressional/parliamentary authorization) once a “health emergency” is declared.

The "Climate Worshipers" are bracing for a period of time (this winter) when they dare not open their mouths. A very harsh winter is approaching and will cause the Al Gore effect (the more he talks about it the colder/nasty/blizzardly it gets.)

This is their last stand until until that curtains comes crashing down.

Deaths from Global Warming this year — 0
Deaths from Ebola this year — > 1,500

This treaty has no enforcement mechanism beyond “shaming”. Since the US has already acted to reduce carbon, the treaty is meaningless, just an election year organizing tool.

"...and his French counterpart has warned of climate “chaos” in 500 days..."

Marking my calendar for January 10, 2016 (500 days from today) with a link to this thread. Can't wait to see if glow-ball warming is real or not and put an end to the confusion once and for all.

A questionable set of models with high-end predictions of a global 1.8 degree increase over the next century is an emergency? I’m disgusted. Science used to be something objective and admirable.

The continuing existence of the UN and the EPA is a serious public health emergency.

It's still a hoax. Where is the Smoking Hot Spot?

No smoking hot spot

1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.

Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.

If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
