It’s that time of year when 10,000+ members of the Cult of Climastrology take their pilgrimage to a designated site to hobnob with their comrades from around the world, using fossil fueled vehicles and eating evil meat, paid for by taxpayers. All to make pronouncements of Doom and that things must change
Climate change threat has ‘never been worse’, says UN climate chief
The UN talks come at a crucial juncture in mankind’s response to planetary warming.
The smaller, poorer nations that will bare its devastating brunt are pushing for richer states to make good on the promises they made in the 2015 Paris agreement.
They want their sweet, sweet, redistributed, unearned climate cash
In Paris three years ago, countries committed to limit global temperature rises to well below two degrees Celsius, and to the safer cap of 1.5 degrees Celsius if at all possible.
But with only a single degree Celsius of warming so far, the world has already seen a crescendo of deadly wildfires, heatwaves and hurricanes made more destructive by rising seas.
Wildfires, heatwaves, and hurricanes never happened when CO2 was below the safe level of 350ppm, ya know.
“Climate change impacts have never been worse,” Patricia Espinosa told journalists after Sunday’s first negotiating session.
“This reality is telling us that we need to do much more.”
In a rare intervention, presidents of previous UN climate summits issued a joint statement as the talks got underway, calling on states to take “decisive action… to tackle these urgent threats”.
“The impacts of climate change are increasingly hard to ignore,” said the statement, a copy of which was obtained by AFP. “We require deep transformations of our economies and societies.”
At the COP24 climate talks, nations must agree to a rulebook palatable to all 183 states who have ratified the Paris deal.
Well, that’s interesting. What does it mean, Ms. Espinosa? Exactly how will our economies and societies be transformed? If previous dogma is to be considered, it sure sounds like she’s pushing for a government run economy, call it Socialism, Progressivism, Marxism, Communism, whatever, it’s all about Government dictating and control, even owning the means of production. As for societies, the same thing: full government control of your life.
Funny how this supposed scientific issue has draconian political authoritarian solutions, eh?
The media viciously attacked @realdonaldtrump for skipping the #G20 #climatechange pledge (nevermind that the USA leads the world in lowering emissions)… but it turns out the UN climate summit will emit more CO2 than 8,200 American homes do in a year. https://t.co/iJ3SwXH9GZ pic.twitter.com/MgalHbJj8s
