The levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the main driver of climate change, have hit a new record high, the UN said Thursday, warning that the time to act was running out.

Ahead of the COP 24 climate summit in Poland next month, top United Nations officials are again trying to raise the pressure on governments to meet the pledge of limiting warming to the less than two degrees Celsius, enshrined in the 2015 Paris accord.

“Without rapid cuts in CO2 and other greenhouse gases, climate change will have increasingly destructive and irreversible impacts on life on Earth,” the head of the World Meteorological Organization Petteri Taalas said in a statement. “The window of opportunity for action is almost closed.”

Meanwhile, in the real world, the sun is basically going dormant and we are in for at least a little ice age that will likely last a few centuries.

Pure unadulterated crap. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda. The UN is nothing more than a parasite living off the blood of the US taxpayer.
