MADRID (Reuters) - The world must stop a “war against nature” and find more political will to combat climate change, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday, the eve of a two-week global climate summit in Madrid.

Around the world, extreme weather ranging from wildfires to floods is being linked to manmade global warming, putting pressure on the summit to strengthen the implementation of the 2015 Paris Agreement on limiting the rise in temperature.

“Our war against nature must stop, and we know that it is possible,” Guterres said ahead of the Dec. 2-13 summit.

“We simply have to stop digging and drilling and take advantage of the vast possibilities offered by renewable energy and nature-based solutions.”

“For the planet” is an excuse by liberals to gain power.
Can democracy survive climate change?
To face the invisible enemy, experts say there might be a need for “sweeping powers.”

What happens when snow falls on the solar panels?

Is heavy snow a weight problem?

And how about blocking the Sunlight?

Dear UN,

The United States has clean air, clean water, national parks that are the envy of the world, beautiful vistas, and we have done a much better job than Europe in protecting our environment. Take the plank out of your own eye.

Believing that Government can control nature has got to stop!

The hysteria won’t work. You need to get a dozen more Swedish pre-teens to hitch free rides on luxury yachts that are falsly called “carbon neutral” and send them to the UN to yell and weep.

“Dems have to get rid of Trump so we can transfer trillions from the US to 3rd world rat holes”


You are correct about the money but wrong about the destination. There would be so much graft that not a dime would make it to any “rat hole”.

This whole “climate change” business is a con, to take from Americans and transfer to globalist.

They block out sunlight...and don't produce. They have special tools/brooms to clean them off. They're tilted partly to let the snow fall off.

And then there's the big damn subsidies.

When leftists sell off their oceanfront mansions, private Jets and live in a 2500 square foot house (one one home not 7 or 8) with an half acre, then I’ll know it is real...

It has not outlived it’s usefulness. The whole reason the UN was started was to facilitate a world government. They aren’t there yet, but they’re sure trying hard.

Corrupt bored liberal ‘elites’ need to get a hobby.

Obsessing about delusions like global warming is nuts. Maybe they should collect expensive ‘art’ or gaze at their naval or something that doesn’t damage real people.

See chapter 10, "Why The Worst Get On Top," in Hayek's THE ROAD TO SERFDOM.
