The United Nations' weather and climate agency is out with its annual State of the Climate report, and it says "the tell-tale physical signs of climate change" are everywhere. The report documents unprecedented heat waves, fires and floods over the past year, and warns that there is likely more to come.
In the report, the UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO) cited the historic fires in Australia and the Amazon, record-shattering heat waves in Europe, and soaring levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In a statement released with the report, the leader of the United Nations calls climate change "the defining challenge of our time" and said "time is fast running out for us to avert the worst impacts of climate disruption."
The impact on humans is growing, with climate variability and extreme weather "among the key drivers of the recent rise in global hunger," the UN said in a press statement.
The report also highlighted the most consequential climate-change-driven events over the past year.
Climate scientists are in clear consensus that the devastating climate events of 2019 are in part driven by human-caused climate change, and they say such disasters will only get worse until humanity manages to decarbonize our economies and reduce excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This climate challenge is herculean, but one that is necessary to preserve Earth's fragile life systems.

Gee! Surprised to hear this from the UN.
I think it was cheaper to just walk around with a placard declaring “The END is Near”
Who gives a rat’s ass?. We’ll all be dead from the flu by then
I wish it would hurry up and run out. I’m sick of this. You would think after while they’d get tired of digging up and moving the goalposts.
No worries the Corona bug is gonna kill us all
Defrauding taxpayers on this bogus threat IS “the worst impact”!!!!!
We’re 20% thru 2st Century.
So far: 0.5°C and 0.5” rises. Increased crop yields.
By 2100: 2.5°C and 2.5” rises. 5x current 20yr crop increase.
Cursory linear numbers, yes; nowhere near “deadly heatwaves, floods and rising hunger”.
And from other numbers I’ve run, seems we’re peaking at a natural confluence of 150, 2000, and 125,000 year temperature cycles. This is normal.
It’s the Deep State Impact.
I’ve been hearing this from them for 30 years. Doom should already have been upon us at least 20 years ago according to them.
I performed an experiment.
Since money is the only way to change this Climate crisis, I threw a $20 bill at my thermostat.
To my surprise, nothing changed.
They mean, the longer we wait and do nothing, the more the scam will be exposed.
No money left for these climate change maggots after the Chicom Virus panics.
The Wuhan P4 virus hates warm moist air. I'm burning a few tires this afternoon.
Time is always “running out” but never, you know, actually runs out when it comes to climate change.
Can’t hurt. But a few creosote treated railroad ties on for a nice dark burn! :)
I have been hearing this since I was a little kid in the 1970s.
