U.N. calls on countries to urgently act to stop global warming
The Washington Post ^ | December 12, 2018 | by AP

The head of the United Nations’ top science panel on climate change said Tuesday that the world needs to “do more and faster” to prevent global warming on a scale that would cause irreversible environmental damage and hit poor societies hard.

Hoesung Lee, who chairs the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), told diplomats at the U.N. climate summit in Poland that scientists had reviewed data for their recent report on the impact of average global temperature increases.

“The report shows that not just action, but urgent action is needed,” Lee said. His comments come as national leaders and ministers gathered in Poland for the final stretch of the two-week talks, with just days left to break through issues that diplomats have struggled to resolve.

U.N. climate chief Patricia Espinosa urged delegates to show a “spirit of unity” through the end of the week.

Poor countries, meanwhile, want promises of financial support to tackle climate change.

One good way to help would be to shut down buildings we don't need.

Do these globalists at the UN ever do anything other than promote Global Warming or pass resolutions against Israel? The UN is a sham organization with some of the worst human rights offenders in charge.

"Send birth control to the Third World. Tons of it."

Won't help. The western world has been sending them condoms and birth control for decades.

How about we ask India and China, as two main polluters, to shut down their industries. Then, let’s see how the situation is?

There’s enough landfill in that building to build a nice park along the river.

"...scientists had reviewed data for their recent report on the impact of average global temperature increases."

Should read:

"...scientists massaged the data for their recent report on the impact of average global temperature increases."

Global warming ended in 1998. Average global temperatures have been falling ever since. In truth, we're on the cusp of a grand solar minimum, which will be marked by decades of increasing cold.

The 3600 signature cycle continues to unfold. Such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, bugs and pests as well as crazy unseasonable weather patterns. And the chances for humans to stop or avert any of this are pretty slim to none as this appears to be a re-occurring natural event.

More signs and events of things to come, as part of the 3600 signature cycle is unfolding world wide. About 3600 plus or minus years ago similar events drove the then ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose just about bananas, better known as the TEN PLAGUES, eventually resulting in the release or expulsion of the Israelis from bondage as they, or good old MOSES used these events to their advantage by threatening that there would be more to come unless they would be released.

This event went down in history as the Biblical EXODUS. The catch is that these events were not just limited to ancient Egypt at the time, as we scan ancient, available and somewhat scarce records from this period we will find that ancient China was plagued with very similar events and disasters. On top of it we are also entering another Grand Minimum Solar (GMS) cycle what may compound some of these strange events, and I would not be surprised if this 3600 signature cycle also has a bearing on the GMS, but that is just my thought.

Just for interest sake about the same time 1500 BC or approximately close to 3600 years ago,1500 BC + 2018 AD= 3518 approx.the time of the EXODUS the volcano located on the island of Thera located in the Mediterranean blew up with the estimated force of about 40 (forty) nuclear bombs, permanently re-arranging the Mediterranean, forming the Santorini Archipelago. At the time turning days into night, also affecting Egypt with pumice from the eruption found there as well.

So far being located in the Midwest, overall we have remained pretty well unscathed aside from some flooding here and there. Lets hope it remains this way.

For someone who never heard of this it may elicit a smile, on the other hand you may want to keep in mind that there has been a steady increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding all over as well as one season running into one another along with crazy weather patterns worldwide. All this just doesn’t happen without a reason and global warming supposedly caused by humans is not one of them

Sorry, I like global warming.
I can’t wait for the time I can throw away my snow blower, because it’s warm all year.
