UN warns of ‘rapidly closing’ window to avert global warming

A report from the United Nations climate change panel doubles down on calls for action to combat planetary warming amid a “rapidly closing window” in a new report released Monday.

The latest report from the intergovernmental panel on climate change is a “synthesis” of three recent reports which said that climate change was “unequivocally” caused by humans, that it will increase premature deaths and other poor health outcomes and that a “substantial reduction” in global fossil fuel use is needed to combat the problem.

Similar to these other reports, the latest iteration notes that the planet has already warmed about 1.1 degrees Celsius (about 2 degrees Fahrenheit) and that under the current status quo it is on track to exceed ​​1.5 celsius (2.7 fahrenheit) of warming — a temperature gain that scientists have said should be avoided to avert some of the most serious climate change consequences.

Shove it up their collective Obamaholes.
A greater group of science illiterates existeth not.
At least, the UN is a good place to store folks who are too stupid to even be politicians.

That Tweet of hers from 5 years ago was deleted by Greta herself.

UN warns of ‘rapidly closing’ window to avert global warming

Headline totally misses the point!

If it's getting hotter outside, wouldn't you want to close the window, and turn up the a/c?!

Regards,

Clearly the folks in the UN should all commit suicide, since they produce nothing of value and only waste limited resources.

Somebody needs to keep track of how many times that “rapidly closing window” has been “rapidly closing” in the past 30 or 40 years since the climate alarmists first started hyping this scam.

Climate Catastrophists are already doing more economic and social damage than actual climate change (if indeed there is any) can ever do in the next 500 years. But that's a feature, not a bug.

The whole "CO2 global warming" meme is a false crisis, invented out of thin air by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a tool to force a drastic die-off of human populations by suppressing Western European culture and technology.

Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs an UN hogs to find private profit in public policy.

The window has been “rapidly closing” for about 30 years now.

"UN warns of ‘rapidly closing’ window to avert global warming"

At this rate the planet will be lucky to survive another eight billion years.
