North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has blamed climate change as one of the reasons for the country's ongoing food crisis and cataclysmic floods that have battered its northeast regions.

He called on his officials to enact an "urgent" response to the slew of disasters his regime is facing at a politburo meeting, according to state media KCNA on Thursday.

Kim stressed the need to improve North Korea's land management after floods destroyed bridges and homes on the country's east coast last month.

The "danger" of an "abnormal climate," he said, has risen in the last few years. Kim added that he wants officials to begin an "active and ambitious plan" to improve rivers, manage erosion control, maintain dykes, and start tide embankment projects as part of the country's regular Five-Year Plan.

He added that "disastrous weather is getting ever more pronounced worldwide" and that North Korea will be vulnerable to the change, per KCNA.

Lil Dong sure knows how to play these stoopid liberals.

That is why he is ginning up his nuclear weapons. He will use them against the wind and the rain to stop the ‘global warming’.

Well, he could resign or abdicate.

What's the Korean word for "Baizou"?

He should have built hotels.

[Still Thinking]

Yeah, I’m sure communism and the wholesale rape of his citizens’ civil rights have nothing to do with it.

Crimate change...ohhhh nooo

Send Special Envoy Lurch Kerry to the rescue in North Korea. Hurry!

[EEGator]

He should set off his biggest nuke above ground.
Hunger solved.

There are reports that times are very bad in North Korea.

This shifting of blame is proof that it is really bad

[BradyLS]

Did he broadcast the announcement live on state TV? I thought he was MIA.

Escaping from Climate Change requires a redoubling of Marxist Solutions to social organization.

Fat chance that’s going to help the Norks.

[jimfree]

Tyrants around the world manipulate the American Left by echoing empty slogans.

He seems better than his crazy bitch sister.
She looks truly psychotic.

[allendale]

Funny. If the election had not been stolen and Trump had his second term, North Korea would be evolving into something better.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Let me guess the type of “urgent response” he means: A plane load of cash.

[lurk]

The tyrant’s solution is always worse than the problem.

[libertylover]

And Democrats will swallow that hook, line, and sinker.
