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.

Biden n the race gives sick Hillary new hope
In the 70’s it was global cooling. A stupid idiotic movie was made by Barbara Streisand’s husband. It was so bad, it probably killed the cooling movement and replaced it with global warming.
I’m waiting for the Global It’s A Really Nice Day movement.
Are they factoring in the smoke, pollutants & gasses being created by cremating coronavirus victims in the streets in China???
