The UN’s environment chief, Erik Solheim, has resigned following severe criticism of his global travels and internal rule-breaking which led some nations to withhold their funding.
The Guardian understands Solheim was asked to resign by the UN secretary general, António Guterres. Sources at the UN Environment Programme (Unep) said that countries unhappy with Solheim’s conduct were holding back tens of millions of dollars, threatening a financial crisis at the body.
A draft internal UN audit leaked to the Guardian in September found Solheim had spent almost $500,000 (£390,000) on air travel and hotels in just 22 months, and was away 80% of the time. The audit said this was a “reputation risk” for an organisation dedicated to fighting climate change.
A UN staff union leader called some of the revelations “mind-blowing” and a prominent climate scientist accused Solheim of “obscene CO2 hypocrisy”.
The audit said Solheim had “no regard for abiding by the set regulations and rules” and had failed to account properly for some of his travel. He also unofficially allowed chosen staff to work from Europe rather than at Unep headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. Solheim told the Guardian he had already paid back money for instances of oversight and made changes where other rules had been broken.

Maybe the cause of climate change is all these environmentalist flying around in their jets and driving their limos yelling about climate change.
Nothing new. UN is a den of thieves and thugs.
Remember Kofi and son’s Oil for Food scam?
How about their Human Rights Council joke, with muzzie key leaders?
Or UN troops raping the poor locals?
It begin when they allowed fools and idiots to vote.
Real sacrifices are for you little people - not for us Politicians, Bureaucrats and Hollywood types.
These vile regimes are given power to chart the course of human history. Does anyone truly believe they'll do it based on altruistic principles?
Them environmentalists sure do love to fly.

Oh, boo chit.
These nations are cheap skates anyway
First class flights and 5-star hotels. Just like the International Olympic Committee and so many others.

Oh boy, “obscene carbon dioxide hypocrisy”... the first blessing of the holiday season is obviously this creation of a new specialized term of Art. Hopefully, carbon hypocrisy will join up with cultural appropriation, white privilege, and microaggression as outrage junky chant material in the dung Heap of foolishness whose ever-expanding boundaries wash over us.
Bro, I went to your home page and opened a song that looks like it was recorded before I was born (1968).
I almost brushed it off but said #### it let me listen to it.
It’s GREAT.
And I’m a Guns N Roses fan lol
Timeless words.
And I will heed them.
Amazing the ODDEST places you find inspiration.
Makes you wonder how many millions he charges for carbon credits for each leaf and blade of grass around those homes...
UN Environmental chief personally creates global warming to promote world domination by UN!
Yet another leftist hypocrite just like al gore.
JoMa
O.K. It’s not the same as the prayer logo; but still has a distinct Hebrew appearance to it. Not something I’d expect on Gore’s plane, unless he leases it out of Israel. But don’t Gore and the commie libs hate Israel. Something doesn’t jibe.
Do it before you die and have a good time doing it
No reason to be miserable
No there isn’t, isn’t there?
No use trying to force things that won’t be to happen.
Stop worrying about material wealth so much or that i’m 50 and not a millionaire.
