Absent heroic efforts, the world has locked in dangerous climate change. That’s according to a much-anticipated report released on Monday in South Korea by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.-sponsored collection of the world’s top scientists.
That stark, blunt assessment comes after years of deliberation at the request of the world’s most vulnerable nations to assemble pathways that could limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees C, now believed to be the upper limit that would preserve the stability of the world’s interconnected ecological and societal systems.
Some key conclusions: The world has already warmed by about 1 degree C and without a global coordinated effort, the world will reach 1.5 degrees in as little as 12 years. “Several hundred million” lives are at stake, according to the IPCC, and the actions that are required to ensure a just transition to a fossil-fuel free world have significant overlap with the actions that would be needed to reduce global poverty.

Act now! Don’t wait! This deal, ah, scam, I mean opportunity to save the planet, nay civilization itself won’t last. Seriously, these hucksters sound more and more like used car salesmen in cheap suits ever day...
I bet if you studied EVERY employee of the UN, you would find that they are globalist nitwits who are seriously compromised by $$$$ and perverted sex.
no , Nancy and her insanity . Remember Nancy would call Bush every name she could think of ,every day . Trump will wear out his twitter fingers ,LOL

An Ice Age comith. It is already starting. And it is all about the sun.
That was around 2005 and there is no measurable change. If he was even a little bit right I should be able to mark a difference, right?
“I bet if you studied EVERY employee of the UN, you would find that they are globalist nitwits who are seriously compromised by $$$$ and perverted sex.”
No doubt - and all basking in the pretentiously virtuous glow of the mental disease of progressivism.
We only have 10 years left!

Wonder what they plan when something like this happens?
The sooner this band of globalist grifters is sent packing from our soil, the better.
America First! Screw the UN!
Freezing my ass off right now where I am. If you think about it how much of the world lives in sub zero temperatures? Alaska has what, maybe 500,000 people? How many live in tropical climates? Hundreds of millions.
We can adapt to warm weather very easily, but winter kicks the crap out of everything it can. The world should be thankful we don’t have another mini ice age like what happened when the Mayflower left.
I thought civilization was on its way out in the 60’s, and with a little more help from groups like AntiFa and BLM we should be able to complete wipe it out in years rather than the decades or centuries it will take for global warming to have a similar effect.
So we are helpless and doomed. Then we sure as heck don’t need the waste-wads at the UN. Shut ‘er down and move ‘em out. We need the our last few dollars for a stash of good hard liquor before we go.
Peruse “Cold Sun” by John Casey.
The IPCC tried this shrill doom mongering about 20 years ago. If you believed the first report, we’d all be doomed already. The public is simply not willing to pay vast sums of money for this scam.
Am I one of the “several hundred million “? Cuz, frankly, they don’t speak for me. As far as I’m concerned...BRING IT ON. they’re all FOS and I’m calling their bluff.
Hey, UN, wake me up when it happens. Ted Danson said we’ll be dead in 10 years ...and that was 25 YEARS ago...
U.N. climate report shows civilization is at stake if we don’t act now
