‘Everything is at stake’ as world gathers for climate talks
The Associated Press ^ | October 29, 2021 | By SETH BORENSTEIN and FRANK JORDANS

More than one world leader says humanity’s future, even survival, hangs in the balance when international officials meet in Scotland to try to accelerate efforts to curb climate change. Temperatures, tempers and hyperbole have all ratcheted up ahead of the United Nations summit.

And the risk of failure looms large for all participants at the 26th U.N. Climate Change Conference, known as COP26.

Six years ago, nearly 200 countries agreed to individualized plans to fight global warming in the historic 2015 Paris climate agreement. Now leaders will converge in Glasgow for two weeks starting Sunday to take the next step dictated by that pact: Do more and do it faster.

It’s not easy. Except for a slight drop because of the pandemic, carbon pollution from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas is increasing, not falling.

“Everything is at stake if the leaders do not take climate action,” young Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate said. “We cannot eat coal. We cannot drink oil, and we cannot breathe so-called natural gas.”

Her words were echoed by a man tasked with steering one of the world’s richest economic blocs through the climate transition.

“We are fighting for the survival of humanity,” European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans said. “Climate change and the threatening ecocide are the biggest threats humanity faces.”

man cannot kill the planet. ecocide will not happen.
man pollutes, but eventually, the planet will reclaim everything man has made.

it is foolish to think man can make a difference to the world.

There is only one topic at these meetings. How much money can we get from the American middle class taxpayers.

How many flew there on private jets?

Any "success" at this conference will do absolutely nothing for the climate but it will be costly for us.

THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO CONTROLS THE CLIMATE, IT’S LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, PERIOD. I can’t help but think of this verse from Romans 1:22, “Professing to be wise; they became fools.” Sure does fit as far as I’m concerned.

All the Nations of the World must become Communist or we’ll all die.

Individual Liberty is a Mass Extinction Event, therefore it must be cancelled.

Hail Hydra.

There is no word yet on how they will get China, the world’s biggest polluter, to go along with their hysterical nonsense.

“Everything is at stake...

I am afraid their interpretation of this and ours have completely different meanings....but that is correct. Everything is at stake.

Guarantee Biden will promise them the moon, and commit the USA to some real draconian Climate Change warrior bullshit.

It will make Obama’s Paris Agreement look like child’s play.

Ripe for the antichrist to enter centerstage. The word of God warned us that in the latter days things would get real bad and that is what we’re seeing right now. Hold on it’s gonna be a bumpy road but remember keep your eyes focused on the Lord when things go south.

Nothing is at stake. Just the usual hot air and nonsense plus corrupt politicians like Dementia Joe, Pelosi etc pocketing huge amounts from sleazy billionaires like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Soros etc.

They can’t.
China will do what China wants. They are too strong and powerful.

I think it would be a hilarious hoax if someone spread the rumor that Greta Thunberg is planning to attend, and commit violent suicide, to shame the others into action.

I’m convinced the NWO world religion will be based in “saving the climate.”
