U.N.'s Top Climate Official: Ignoring Global Warming Is 'Criminal'

VALENCIA, Spain — The U.N.'s top climate official challenged world policymakers Monday to map out a path to curb climate change, charging that to ignore the urgency of global warming would be "nothing less than criminally irresponsible."

Yvo de Boer issued his warning at the opening of a weeklong conference that will complete a concise guide on the state of global warming and what can be done to stop the Earth from overheating. It is the fourth and last report issued this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, co-winner of this year's Nobel Peace prize.

Environmentalists and authors of the report expected tense discussions on what to include and leave out of the document, which is a synthesis of thousands of scientific papers. A summary of about 25 pages will be negotiated line-by-line this week, then adopted by consensus.

The document to be issued Saturday sums up the scientific consensus on how rapidly the Earth is warming and the effects already observed; the impact it could have for billions of people; and what steps can be taken to keep the planet's temperature from rising to disastrous levels.

The IPCC already has established that the climate has begun to change because of the greenhouse gases emitted by humans, said de Boer, director of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Everyone will feel its effects, but global warming will hit the poorest countries hardest and will "threaten the very survival" of some people, he said.

"Failing to recognize the urgency of this message and act on it would be nothing less that criminally irresponsible" and a direct attack on the world's poorest people, De Boer said.

So, now we are receiving actual threats from the world's other 'Religion of Peace'--- "Human-Caused Global Warming". Why am I not surprised?

Yeppers.

Liberals/socialists/European Unionists/Communists/democrats - but I repeat myself - are working reaaaaaaaaally hard at getting their AGW extremism into criminal law (or treaties - just as good for anti-US) so “science” can’t oppose their diatribes and new taxes.

A liberal/socialist/democrat-appointed court then merely has to ask “ What did the law require?” not “Was the law justified?” or “Did the law make sense in terms of the evidence for (or against) AGW?”

if there is any criminality involved it lies with those responsible for this global Warming scam and those who have issued misleading reports, doctored graphs and reports, etc.

Mankind has been trying to control nature for hundreds of years from hurricanes, tornadoes, rain, and on and on. It can’t be done and shouldn’t be done. You-know-who is in control.

I agree, it is criminal to ignore Iran with a nuke. Things could get really warm if that happens.

Black death,the dark ages, fall of Rome occurred during

A)Global warm periods?
B)Global cooling periods?

Ice ages and global cooling really suck.

Well it is an easy fetish for the simple and the weak. The height of arrogant stupidity in humans , is to believe they can now control the weather..

If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

If my theory of relativity proves to be correct,
Germany will claim me a German,
and France will claim me a citizen of the world.
However, if it proves wrong,
France will say I’m a German,
and Germany will say that I’m a jew.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

I’m sure socking Uncle Sap with a big assessment as punishment for the USA’s economic success will fix whatever this UN parasite thinks is causing global warming. These clowns are so predictable.

As is ignoring common sense. Global warming is a cyclical, natural occurrence. Mankind’s activities are not the genesis of it and have a minimal effect at best. The very fact that Mars and other planets have also had n increase in global temperature testify to this truth.

I don’t think it is all that safe to assume that we’d still be law abiding citizens at that time.

Nope! Criminal is what 90% of the UN is made up of. Living in our country, mostly on our money, despising us and trying to controll our lands and resources.

I've long had it up to my ears with UN crapola. Where is John Bolton? I would vote for him for Pres. in a heartbeat. He knows how to analyse the facts and speak the truth with the bark on.
