OXFORD, England (AP) — Humanity has only two years left “to save the world” by making dramatic changes in the way it spews heat-trapping emissions and it has even less time to act to get the finances behind such a massive shift, the head of the United Nations climate agency said.

With governments of the world facing a 2025 deadline for new and stronger plans to curb carbon pollution, nearly half of the world's populations voting in elections this year, and crucial global finance meetings later this month in Washington, United Nations executive climate secretary Simon Stiell said Wednesday he knows his warning may sound melodramatic. But he said action over the next two years is “essential.”

“We still have a chance to make greenhouse gas emissions tumble, with a new generation of national climate plans. But we need these stronger plans, now,” Stiell said in a speech at the Chatham House think tank in London. He suggested that climate action is not just for powerful people to address — in a not-so-veiled reference to the electoral calendar this year.

My thought...CO2 and population are the numbers we should be looking at....we need more food and therefore...more co2

The universe is self balancing. It produces what it needs to exist.

Two years due to Glo-Bull Warming!

I remember April 12, 1972 Tulsa during THE COMING ICE AGE scare. The temperature was 102F degrees that day. Others had 106F that day in Tulsa OK. Again, April 12, 1972. Still a record high.

He needs to catch up on the scam - the little retarded girl Greta said we were already dead last year but now she’s getting arrested for hating Jews

[mbrfl]

So they admit Al Gore got it wrong?

[Bullish]

And they’re solving it how exactly? By killing the whales off?

[Bullish]

Good 1!

[Bullish]

Maybe NY can house their homeless and illegals in the UN building? Sure, that would be a horrible mess but they’d be far less of a threat to people than the UN.

[Bullish]

These people are so G’D corrupt.

[PROCON]

Yawn

[Bullish]

When I was working as a tool and die machinist, probably around 2008 or 2009 there was a welder who mentioned to me in passing, “climate change, that shit is real, man”... I told him, “no it’s not! You’ve been inhaling too much welding gas”. He looked at me and had nothing to say, then from the look on his face I realized, the guy really was that gullible and stupid.

[Bullish]

Let's shut down the UN and use the money saved to party for two years.

I love to party, but I don't want to party with anyone on the left... Ever!

[rktman]

Ten trillion ought to fix it.

[aquila48]
