Doomsday hysteria in Davos – UN chief says ‘we are losing the race’ on climate change

UN chief Antonio Guterres warned that the world is “losing the race” on climate change as he demanded that governments make bolder commitments beyond the Paris accord.

“Climate change is the defining issue of our time”, he said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

“It is absolutely central to reverse this trend. We need political will and we need governments who understand that this is the most important priority of our times,” he stressed.

The Paris climate accord has been shaken by the withdrawal of the United States under President Donald Trump, and by threats to do the same by Brazil’s new leader Jair Bolsonaro.

The UN secretary-general said the commitments made in Paris were already “not enough”.

“If what we agreed in Paris would be materialized, the temperature would rise more than 3.0 degrees (Celsius)”, he said on a Facebook Live broadcast from Davos.

“We need countries to make stronger commitments”, he said, calling for more measures to mitigate against climate change and adapt to it, along with financial aid for poorer countries.

Another climate change advocate, former secretary of state John Kerry, who signed the Paris accord for the United States in 2016, agrees with him.

However, he believes doomsday will come even sooner. “We’re heading towards 4.0 degrees Centigrade increase in this century, and the passive indifference that most countries are accepting is basically a mutual suicide pact”, he stated.

The fact that overpopulation is a huge threat to our environment was not discussed.

As usual the carbon tax idea was in focus.

“UN chief Antonio Guterres warned”

ESAD, you slobbering moron.

Enemy of humanity; why is he in a high post? Can no decent person be elevated to any position of authority?

Davos when this group meets would be a great background for a novel about muzzlemen with anuke and a mission. First a smaller blast destroys the airport and irradiates it then small cells with plenty of firepower close the roads. The response to a potential nuke among these secularist, materialist , self proclaimed world leadership would be priceless.

The UN chief - any UN chief - is by definition a jelly-like semi-transparant mass of excrement with lower intelligence than an amoeba who has never had a real job and never will. (Sort of like all democrats and a good percentage of Republicans.)

As such, he can kiss my Obamahole.

I wish they’d declare it over and done, I’m sick of hearing about this race, then we could get on with our lives and they can move to the next thing that’ll wipe out humanity - but they’ll have to figure out how to blame it on mankind.

“It is amazing that climate can be controlled merely by allowing global elites to confiscate the peasants’ money.”

Good one. Put that in my Glossary of Quotations.

“How crazy are these people?”

We normals too often give these people the benefit of the doubt, writing things off as crazy that are actually evil.

I wonder sometimes if the worst of the should be referred to as “people,” as thoroughly under the sway of Satanic evil as they are.

it’s actually 4/10,000, but that’s probably a distinction without a difference.

“If what we agreed in Paris would be materialized, the temperature would rise more than 3.0 degrees (Celsius)”

Let's ask for 10x Paris. That should do it. The temperature would probably only rise 2.9 degrees. If they weren't willing to stick to the Paris accords, certainly they would adhere to the new 10x agreement. Or something.

Definitely insane. They are in panic mode because no one is buying their baloney any more.
