'Delay means death': UN climate report urges world to adapt now
France24 ^ | February 28, 2022

Climate change is upon us and humanity is far from ready, the United Nations climate science panel warned in a major report on Monday.

Noting that nearly half the world's population was already vulnerable to increasingly dangerous climate impacts, the report calls for drastic action on a huge scale: A third to a half of the planet needs to be conserved to ensure future food and freshwater supplies. Coastal cities need plans to keep people safe from storms and rising seas. And more.

"Adaptation saves lives," U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said with the report's release. "As climate impacts worsen – and they will – scaling up investments will be essential for survival... Delay means death."

The 3,675-page report is the latest in a series by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) detailing the global consensus onclimate science.

On nearly all counts, the report makes clear that climate change is impacting the world far faster than scientists had anticipated. Meanwhile, countries have failed to rein in planet-warming carbon emissions, which continue to rise.

"Unchecked carbon pollution is forcing the world's most vulnerable on a frogmarch to destruction," Guterres said in a video address Monday. "The facts are undeniable. This abdication of leadership is criminal."

After completely losing the trust of the public in most countries, it will be very hard for elites with their “experts” and captive media to submit to dramatic and destructive orders that would return us back to loss of economic, cultural, national and individual liberty by unprovable fears.

We won’t be foiled again.

Hogwash! The UN should not get another penny from the US taxpayers for “investments” in the hoax called “climate change!”

Next, probably, already on the UN agenda, will be a plan to cap all volcanos. They spew nasty, hot stuff into our atmosphere.

Can anyone tell us anything that the UN has done lately or ever?
Throw them out of NYC and stop funding them.

I’m happy to see that a discussion about the “Obliquity of the Ecliptic,” is suggested. So important and always ignored, the predictable wobble of our beautiful home planet.

PS
Secretary Guterres is a “Criminal Leader.”
