Christiana Figueres was executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change from 2010 to 2016.
Speaking of the UN and global warming, lets move UN to North Pole and see how long UN continues to cry about political correct global warming.
In fact, patriots are reminded that double-digit Celsius temperature drops during the brief durations of darkness under total solar eclipses are evidence that CO2 is not preventing heat from escaping the earth imo.
Brrr! How Much Can Temperatures Drop During a Total Solar Eclipse?
Also, consider hourly weather forecasts for next 24 hours show that nighttime temperatures stop dropping after sunrise (Sherlock issue), assuming sunny day.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Someone is slipping. There should have been a major barf alert in the title.
We (the planet) is just now starting to recover from an Epoch level drought of CO2 (plant food)
Dear Christiana,
Hurricanes are weather, not climate.
This is not the first hurricane ever. This has been a relatively quiet hurricane season until the last week.
They had clean air in the Dark Ages too, b*tch.. and no UN.. and they all died anyway.
Coincidence?
I elect this “THREAD OF THE DAY”
What’s unacceptable is that every “solution” to the “problem” either involves
1)Raisng taxes on Americans
2)Otherwise making energy more expensive for Americans, it’s too expensive already
If these people were serious about this “grave threat” they would come up with a solution that decent people could support. They have not, which makes me think that it’s just an excuse to push to socialism.
Every single word Christiana Figueres wrote in this “op ed” is either a wild exaggeration, speculation without scientific fact to back it up, or an outright lie. This is normal for the corrupt Climate Change Technocracy.
from 2/2-15:At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
The pigeon waste absorbency index on this one is off the charts.
So true!!
I've been noticing clothing for a colder climate hitting the shops.
IIRC; I also saw clothing for a warmer climate about 6 months ago.
Run; no RACE!!! to your local bigbox hardware store for sky props before they are all gone!
The commie former secretary of UNFCCC writes, “A recent World Health Organization report said that nine out of 10 people on the planet breathe dangerous air, and an estimated 7 million premature deaths a year are caused by air pollution-related diseases ... Fossil fuel combustion byproducts have been deemed one of the most serious threats to childrens health and global equality. Emerging evidence indicates that pollution from coal combustion and motor vehicles has been linked to development delays, reduced IQ and autism in children.”
BUT the lying [expletive deleted] is intentionally misleading her readers. Here’s what the WHO report actually says:
“More than 90% of air pollution-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, mainly in Asia and Africa, followed by low- and middle-income countries of the Eastern Mediterranean region, Europe and the Americas.”
In other words, in places where the per capita combustion of fossil fuels is the lowest.
Why? The WHO report continues:
“Around 3 billion people more than 40% of the worlds population still do not have access to clean cooking fuels and technologies in their homes, the main source of household air pollution.”
The lying knucklehead says it’s due to burning coal and transportation fuels, but these poor people are dying BECAUSE of the ABSENCE of clean FOSSIL FUELS for cooking and low-cost, coal-fired electricity. Lacking access to low-cost energy from fossil fuels, these poor people burn dried dung, wood, paper, and straw in their smoky hovels.
However, I’m sure she’s persuasive to the typical WaPo reader.
I thought that so called “Tipping point” was years ago?
Al Gore the village idiot said so.
I guess a Cat 2 Hurricane, in September, in the Carolinas are news to these cretins of knowledge.
Christiana Figueres was executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change from 2010 to 2016.
She is the daughter of a former president of Costa Rica.
She is a member of the National Liberation Party, an affiliate of the Socialist International.
She has no scientific background that would make her qualified to make any pronouncement on climate change or atmospheric pollution. She is basically banana republic ruling elite.
It is unacceptable. It's long past the time we should have just punched you in the mouth and told you to stop your F***ing yammering about this phoney, made-up hoax to control Western industrial output.
Talk to China, India, Bangladesh and other "emerging" countries about that. We've pretty much cleaned up our act, especially in comparison to those places. They still burn their crap in barrels with kerosene.
