U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked
UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of eco- refugees; threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.
He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.
As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.
Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt’s arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study.
Ecological refugees will become a major concern, and what’s worse is you may find that people can move to drier ground, but the soils and the natural resources may not support life. Africa doesn’t have to worry about land, but would you want to live in the Sahara? he said.
I want what he’s on
Meanwhile, it is absolutely picture perfect here in the Inland Northwest - 82 degrees, light breeze, no humidity, deep blue sky and gorgeous white clouds over the mountains. Sigh...and it’s not even July yet.
Climalarkey, climageddon, globetastrophe etc., etc., etc.
Okee dokee mr u.n. official, answer these:
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.
According to the “EXPERTS” the world ended twenty years ago!!!
We, in the Gulf South, hope it lasts all season.
Imagine someone even more stupid than Occasional Cortex.
Ah, you’re now tuned in to the U.N Chief.
What else can a clueless amoeba like this do, save for run the U.N.?
We act like there's a bubble around the earth. It's wide open spaces out there and it's a wild ride.
at any point in time AND at every point on the earth.
When the benefits of the information age include reports of every weather incident with all the details, it seems like a world calamity. This is another misrepresentation of the truth.
Antonio Guterres is a communist nut job.
Droughts, wildfires, floods, heatwaves, “superstorms” have happened year after year, century after century, since the dawn of time.
One word IDIOT
Hopefully all that gets the UN.
But first we need to disarm the citizens of the United States. Climate change, the new hope for a global governance and the destruction of the US.
