Policymakers and business leaders from around the world are due to arrive in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Monday...Over half of the world’s GDP (gross domestic product) is exposed to risks from nature loss, according to a new report. It comes following a 12-month period which reportedly saw the hottest year on record for the world’s oceans, the second-hottest year for global average temperatures, and wildfires from the U.S., to the Amazon, to Australia.

Seems like the enlightened class would want to lead by example.

Close, but no cigar. The enlightened class wants YOU and ME to lead by example. "Show China and India we don't need no stinkin' fossil fuels."

Wildfires in the USA? We were at the RV show yesterday and the Florida Department of Forestry was there. Florida has more wildfires, but it isn’t as bad as California because they (Florida) control burn and in California they can’t. The ranger I was talking to said that control burns is better for human and animals...

The risk to GDP from a worldwide dictatorship is larger then any potential risk from ice age interglacial period warming.

They are right if they ever manage to implement their commie “fixes”.

500-1,000+ private jets leave no carbon footprint, do they?

[Sirius Lee]

I read the other day where they reported that global warming would cause the oceans to rise in some areas and lower in others....

I know. It's weird how the oceans rise in tectonic subduction zones, but lower where there's continental lift - every time! But because of warming, or racism, or lack of a 15 dollar minimum wage...

interglacial period warming

Well phrased.

[Cowboy Bob]

Climate change is caused by the population explosion in 3rd world countries.

[eartick]

WOW, I guess I better stock up on some more of that survival food.

[eartick]

Same with Australia. Leftist protesters stopped the needed prescribed burning last year.

That and flaming rabbits

And all these rich and powerful yahoos - and their sycophants and supplicants - swanning around Davoe for a week have a solution? Ha!

[thoughtomator]

OK doomer

marxist-muslim alliance “fixes”

[unixfox]

Another “new report” that claims...

So all the other reports are lies?

[Paladin2]

Ban all Jet A in Switzerland.

[Keyhopper]

Flaming rabbits????
Do tell

[deadrock]

The only thing threatening the world’s GDP are Green policies and pronouncements.

[allblues]

Will these statist pukes be ride sharing on their private jets in order to assure everyone will have parking for those private jets so no one will have to suffer the indignity of parking at another airport, as has happened in the past?

The climate change HOAX threatens the whole world’s GDP.
