World in 'wrong direction' as climate impacts worsen: UN
France24 ^ | September 13, 2022

Paris (AFP) – Humanity is "going in the wrong direction" on climate change due to its addiction to fossil fuels, the UN said Tuesday in an assessment showing that planet-warming emissions are higher than before the pandemic.

The UN's United in Science report underscores how, nearly three years since Covid-19 handed governments a unique opportunity to reassess how to power their economies, countries are ploughing ahead with pollution as normal.

It found that after an unprecedented 5.4 percent fall in emissions in 2020 due to lockdowns and travel restrictions, preliminary data from January-May this year shows global CO2 emissions are 1.2 percent higher than before Covid-19.

This is largely down to large year-on-year increases in the United States, India, and most European countries, the assessment found.

"The science is unequivocal: we are going in the wrong direction," said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.

All told, current worldwide climate policies put Earth on course to warm 2.8C by 2100, UNEP said.

Lies by lying liars. As previously asked:

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.
😵‍💫

The day the climate STOPS changing will be a REALLY bad day.

“increases in the United States, India, and most European countries, the assessment found.”

China must be doing great work with curtailing their emissions.

What about Al Gore? Where is he?

“Humanity is “going in the wrong direction” on climate change due to their addiction to human progress...

Fixed it.

Greta is currently campaigning to make wood burning illegal in Europe.

It is now considered “carbon neutral” by EU climate czars.

Does anybody other than propagandists take anything out of the UN seriously?

The UN Third Worlders must be getting ready to hit Psycho Jo up for some big “climate change” bucks.

You might add, “What is the correct number of named Hurricanes for the Atlantic season?”
“How many summer tornadoes are acceptable for the Great Plains?”
And, yes, “How many school shootings are acceptable in a given year?”

“Weather” is not “climate” unless it propagates the Climate Change narrative.

I can smell the B.S. from here.

We’re going in the wrong direction all right, but it has nothing to do with climate change.

“Personally, I love carbon.”

Only because a quarter of you is carbon. You’re just a narcissist!

We’re “addicted” to food, too, which is why they want us eating insects.

As I predicted, no matter what sacrifices are made they keep telling us things are just getting worse and we must do more, more, more.

Of which the everso Islamic nations are not capable of.

Ever notice how the UN’s majority voting block, the OIC, are all third world shitoles.

All this crappola is just a war on the developed nations.
