WASHINGTON (AP) — The world still isn't close to preventing what leaders call a dangerous level of man-made warming, a new United Nations report says. That's despite some nations' recent pledges to cut back on carbon dioxide emissions.

What truly IS a danger to THIS World is the continuous hot air flowing from the U.N.

IF anything will cause the globe to warm it will be that hot air.

Blah, blah, blah. A little hard to take seriously as we’re sitting under 2 feet of snow and freezing temperatures on November 19th!

We normally didn’t get snow until well into December. I never even got my leaves raked this year! Global warming. Whatever.

More people have died from the UN’s support
of slavery, rape, and terrorism than
ever will from faux Global Warming.

Well, since there has been no increase in global temperatures for the last 16 years, whatever we have been doing seems to be working.
