The annual United Nations Global Environment Outlook is just out, and it goes way beyond anything previously "reported." Environmentalists are desperate to eliminate fossil fuels and shift energy production to their favored industries — so they've discovered that the climate is not just worsening. Rather, it's the end of the world. The report was the product of an organization that calls itself "the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda." I thought individual countries set their own agendas, not a bunch of bureaucrats with headquarters in Nairobi, but the U.N. begs to differ.
As headlined in the Washington Post, the report stresses that one million species face extinction. According to the climate experts — mostly professors whose research funding depends on pushing the climate crisis agenda — climate change is threatening "the foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health, and quality of life worldwide." Not much left out there. In sum, a global catastrophe. But is it, really? Ten Americans died in tornadoes in 2018, the lowest number on record despite annual predictions of mega-storms resulting from climate change.
The problem, according to the U.N. report, is that the world's population has tripled since 1950, and as that population becomes more affluent, it is consuming more resources and causing more pollution. Total world GDP in 1950 was $9.25 trillion; by 2015, it had grown to $108 trillion. In other words, the world's population was nearly 12 times as well off in 2015 (and more so today) as in 1950. So let's get back to 1950. The report conveniently fails to note that in 1950, the global standard of living was much, much lower and that tens of millions of humans were starving. That doesn't sound like much worth going back to.

For each individual, as mortals, we each face the end of the world— our own world. If you don’t have any thoughts re: eternity, this can be pretty alarming. And if you do, this should bolster your preparations for a happy ending.
