Climate change triggers disasters, threatens millions – UN
Deutsche Welle ^ | 10.13.2020 | mvb/rc (AFP, Reuters)

Climate change has spurred close to a doubling of natural disasters in the last 20 years, and world leaders are failing to prevent Earth from evolving into “an uninhabitable hell” for millions, the United Nations warned on Monday.

At least 7,348 major disasters had occurred between 2000 and 2019, claiming 1.23 million lives, affecting 4.2 billion people and costing the global economy some $2.97 trillion, the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction said in a new report entitled “The Human Cost of Disasters 2000-2019.”

According to the Geneva-based agency, the last two decades saw the number of disasters caused by extreme weather nearly double to 6,681, up from 3,656 between 1980 and 1999.

“We are wilfully destructive. That is the only conclusion one can come to, with action on climate change and other major threats waning,” said Mami Mizutori, the UN secretary-general’s special representative for disaster risk deduction. …

Climate change is NOT FACT.
It is a theory.
It has NOT been PROVEN.
All UNDOCTORED data says it is FALSE.
Globalists are PUSHING a FALSE PREMISE.

That dastardly climate- why if it wasn’t for climate change, much of the US would still be under more than 1 mile of ice- created floods, erosions, etc- why if there was only something that could have been done to avert those disasters-

Simple Answer, they are still trying to resurrect the carbon trading scheme they developed post Gore as the method to buy and sell dispensations to pollute and use others position as payment for their deviance

Think China, build up enough of them and they are immune to regulations by purchasing Antarctic credits etc to offset their pollution footprint

Shell game pure and simple and all in the name of “saving” the planet and actions required to reduce the surplus population if needed to make the numbers

Think for Gods sake, THINK!

Everything you need to know about the climate change agenda was stated quite clearly by the UN's top climate official in 2015:

"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history.

"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."
--Christiane Figueres, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) 2015 speech

3 Oct: Institute of Public Affairs Australia: Media Release: New Book – Climate Change: The Facts 2020
by Evan Mulholland
Climate Change: The Facts 2020 is the definitive guide to the latest international research and analysis on climate change science and policy. Twenty experts in their field from across five countries have written original contributions on the key issues of scientific, political, and public debate about climate change.

Contributors include Dr John Abbot, Dr Susan Crockford, Dr Bella d’Abrera, Scott Hargreaves, Professor Aynsley Kellow, Donna Laframboise, Professor Richard Lindzen, Dr Jennifer Marohasy, Jo Nova, Dr Peter Ridd, and Dr Roy Spencer...

Dr Jennifer Marohasy, editor of Climate Change: The Facts 2020 and Senior Fellow at the IPA said “The contributors to Climate Change: The Facts 2020 don’t necessarily agree on the extent that recent global warming may be affected by human activity – but they all share the perspective that any such warming is subject to cycles, and is not unusual in its rate or magnitude, and is not catastrophic.”

“If anything about the climate is unprecedented it is the notion that something as complex as climate science can be ‘settled’. It is better to have questions that cannot be answered than answers that cannot be questioned.”
“Far too frequently climate science has demonstrated noble cause corruption – where the ends justify the means,” said Dr Marohasy...

Climate Change: The Facts 2020 is available to purchase at climatechangethefacts.org.au

I propose we MOVE the UN to the North Pole to protect them from climate change.

It’s not Climate Change responsible for all this trouble, it’s Witchcraft! At least that use to be the popular misconception centuries ago. How is this new one all that different?
