United Nations Calls for ‘Drastic Efforts to Curb Global Emissions’
breitbart.com ^ | 2/2/2021 | Thomas D Williams

The United Nations said Tuesday the humanitarian consequences of the “climate emergency” will be far worse unless “drastic efforts” are made to curb global emissions.

In its message on Twitter Tuesday, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), established to “strengthen the international response to complex emergencies and natural disasters,” links to a U.N. article insisting that climate change is not a distant vision of a troubled future but a reality of today.

“Human-induced global warming has spurred a near doubling of natural disasters in the past 20 years,” the article alleges. “At least 7,348 major disasters occurred between 2000 and 2019, claiming 1.23 million lives and affecting 4.2 billion people worldwide.”

To justify its claim that global warming has caused a near doubling in natural disasters, the article links to a report from yet another U.N. office, which, unsurprisingly, never even makes that assertion.

“In 2019, 34 million people globally were acutely food insecure due to climate extremes; weather-related hazards triggered some 24.9 million displacements in 140 countries,” the article continues.

OFFS! Lead by example assclowns and shut down the s**thole on the Hudson for starters. While we're waiting for that, answer these:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Now that Biden is in, they think they are going to get somewhere. This could be the end. Worldwide. Seriously.

Does this warning apply to China or just the USA?

Really. Start with China and India.

If they come into compliance, wake me.

“Human-induced global warming has spurred a near doubling of natural disasters in the past 20 years,”

That statement alone pretty much negates everything that collection of fools says in the article.

What kind “publik skoolz math” did they have to use to state this? Heck, a good 1950 high school math teacher (not eddikator) would make mince meat of that statement.

TELL CHINA.

TELL INDIA.

TELL RUSSIA.

If you really cared about the supposed emergency, you would find out who were the worst polluters and deal with them, not the one country who has done the most to end its pollution.

We all know that the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.

pulling numbers and making connections out of thin air..

ahhh, to breathe the rarified air of purity like these idiots who pursue the climate battle gleefully and blindly, totally oblivious to the real agenda and inevitable outcome.

nothing like flatulence from the enlightened media to stir one to action.

Planetary communism is the goal.

Churchill warned of a new dark age made all the more terrible and prolonged by the sinister powers of science.

The UN needs to.be dismantled.

I thought the un was to prevent another world war. Looks like it’s an aspiring global government.

Maybe start with a public debate on “man made global warming.” Since it’s never happened.

Just the USA - get out of your private automobiles and detached single-family homes, and stop breeding.

Into the worker hives and use mass transit!

CCP is the worst offender, so go tell ‘em, Billy Gates.
Then tell S American countries to quit off logging the rainforests and the same for Africa. They are largest natural heat sinks and CO2 to O2 producers.
Then the CO2 pollution will be under control

Why is The UN not going after China and India, the two worst polluters on the entire planet Earth?

All UN demands can be boiled down to this, “Give us free money.”
