World leaders should declare a “climate emergency” in their countries to spur action to avoid catastrophic global warming, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in opening remarks at a climate summit on Saturday.
On the fifth anniversary of the 2015 Paris Agreement, more than 70 world leaders are due to address the one-day virtual meeting in the hope of galvanizing countries into stricter actions on global warming emissions.
Guterres said that current commitments across the globe did not go “far from enough” to limit temperature rises.
“Can anybody still deny that we are facing a dramatic emergency?” Guterres said. “That is why today, I call on all leaders worldwide to declare a State of Climate Emergency in their countries until carbon neutrality is reached.” […]
“So far, the members of the G20 are spending 50% more in their stimulus and rescue packages on sectors linked to fossil fuel production and consumption, than on low-carbon energy,” Guterres said.
“This is unacceptable. The trillions of dollars needed for COVID recovery is money that we are borrowing from future generations,” he said. “We cannot use these resources to lock in policies that burden future generations with a mountain of debt on a broken planet,” he added. …

Someone who produces useless low-carbon energy is trying to force populations to buy their products. Interesting concept. Force people to buy something they do not want. How does that always work out?
“The Sky is Falling” ping.
If President Trump gets back in, I’d be face-down-on-the-floor grateful if he’d get us out of the UN.
If Trump didn’t have his back to the wall this joker would not have opened his mouth. If Biden ends up in the White House there will be a parade of pansies at the front door pushing their idiot schemes.
In the name of saving the environment, these freaks - and freaks is what they are - will despoil hundreds of thousands of rural America - and ocean waters - with their ugly, bird-killing, windmills and solar plants. The left makes everything ugly - their own bodies, literature, film, painting and sculpture, the cities, and the countryside.
The good news is China is building 100s of coal powered electric generating facilities. They hope to reduce their oil consumption by using more electric cars.
More oil for us!
Emergency = Do not think, do not question, just do what I say.
“Send us your money”
With no evidence, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said “ World leaders should declare a “climate emergency” in their countries to spur action to avoid catastrophic global warming...”
This statement has been disputed.
I agree, the amount of time and money being wasted on climate change is an emergency!
“If President Trump gets back in, I’d be face-down-on-the-floor grateful if he’d get us out of the UN.”

Nope... we should stay in so we KEEP OUR PERMANENT VETO POWER. But the dues we pay should NEVER be more PER CAPITA than the ChiComs pay PER CAPITA.
UN urges world leaders to declare ‘climate emergency’.
“The Sky is falling, the sky is falling”...what Bullshit. Everybody has to have some way to make a buck.
Unadulterated bullshit!
What has been abundantly clear to anyone paying attention is that since November 3, 2020 the worldwide climate hoax propaganda has demonstrably increased. With Trump one barely heard a peep out of these quacks except for the occassional AOC nonsense. But in the last 6 weeks or so, just like the Covid hysteria, we have clearly seen the globull warming hysteria begin to really get cranked up.
