Well, if they really want to get serious, they should do almost every single meeting, big to small, but teleconference. No fossil fueled flights, no fossil fueled vehicles. The UN building in New York should be converted to renewables only, and should have limits on water use. And they should pay big taxes to cover their carbon footprints, right?
The language of diplomacy rarely allows for a true sense of emotion or urgency. But reading between the lines of the latest report commissioned by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—the body representing the 197 member nations of the Paris Agreement to minimize a global average temperature rise this century—the message is clear. The world has precisely ten months to get our act together if there is to be any hope of staving off a climate catastrophe by the end of the century.
If member nations are to achieve the Paris Agreement target of limiting global temperature rise above preindustrial levels by 2°C—ideally 1.5°C—by 2100, they must redouble efforts and submit stronger, more ambitious goals to reduce carbon emissions, according to the report. The document tabulates the national climate action plans [NDCs], of each member nation. The NDCs, which were due at the end of 2020, are essentially blueprints laying out emission reduction targets for each country along with plans detailing how they will meet those stated goals.
So far, the plans all coming up short. The report shows that while the majority of the 75 nations that have submitted NDCs increased their individual commitments, their combined impact puts them on a path to achieve only a 1% reduction in global emissions by 2030, compared to the 45% reduction needed to hit the 1.5°C temperature goal. “This report shows that current levels of climate ambition are very far from putting us on a pathway that will meet our Paris Agreement goals,†said Patricia Espinosa, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change. “While we acknowledge the recent political shift in momentum towards stronger climate action throughout the world, decisions to accelerate and broaden climate action everywhere must be taken now.â€
Wait, is cultist Aryn Baker in Time Magazine saying that the UN is saying that most nations that signed Paris aren’t complying with the “historic” agreement? Heck, forget actions, they can’t even submit proper plans. But, hey, they can Do Something to Save The World if they….submit stronger, more ambitious goals! Ones they won’t implement, but, they’ll have plans for goals!
Another report will be released prior to COP 26, the global meeting on Climate Change, currently scheduled for November in the U.K., giving stragglers time to catch up, says Espinosa. “It’s time for all remaining parties to step up, fulfill what they promised to do under the Paris Agreement and submit their NDCs as soon as possible. If this task was urgent before, it’s crucial now.â€
See, the 10 months thing is about making it to COP26. Why are they even having an in-person conference? What’s the carbon footprint of 10 thousand plus people traveling to a place like the UK? Also, what will COVID look like in November? The UK has been one of the strictest countries for lockdowns and restrictions. Shouldn’t we be worried about being a possible super-spreader event?
The former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, who also served as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and is now Chair of The Elders, was scathing in her assessment of the commitments made by some of the world’s biggest polluters and did not hesitate to single out countries by name. “Major economies need to ramp up their ambition – starting with the U.S., where expectations are high for an emissions and finance pledge to make up for lost time. Others like Japan, Canada, Korea, New Zealand and China, have committed to net zero goals by mid-century, but we are still missing their promised new near-term plans to get there,†she said in a statement released ahead of the report.
These high ranking climate cultists are expecting nations to harm their economies that are just now slowly coming out of pandemic conditions. Because their cults. What money and freedom are these cultists giving up themselves?

Whats the problem Elwood?
All of this is meant to enrage people like you. Explain the difference between the adoration of Obama as being justified while the same thing for Trump is an evil that borders on whatever insanity that seems to float in your mind about Trump.
Your just jealous that Trump is more popular than China Joe Biden and the GOP is already gearing up to send out millions of votes to people and harvest those votes like the democrats did because that is how the Democrats want to play the game.
Congratulations. Your side has now turned the entire voting process into a major banana republic fraud scheme.
Est1950, Elwood projects every evil deed, foul thought, bigoted idea and racist opinion he has onto all Republicans. See how he inserts “Qanon, Proud Boys,” and ever real or imagined White supremacy group into the Conservative and/or Republican camp whilst ignoring all the actual black racists and White/Christian/Jew haters in his own. It’s classic and it’s psychotic.
He knows most of us are Christians so he states we adore or somehow worship Trump which is obviously and cognitively untrue. Yet the radical left still speaks of The Anointed One in whispers of reverence and awe as if the idiot was a god instead of a moron with a mooslem name. Despicable.
In identity politics, projection can be seen in accusations across race lines. Black Lives Matter claims that white vigilantes and police are attacking innocent African Americans. “The Black Lives Matter Global Network is a chapter-based, member-led organization whose mission is to build local power and to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes†(emphasis added). But the sad facts of violence in Black communities are quite different from what is stated by Black Lives Matter. According to official FBI statistics, in 2013, of the 2,491 “Black or African American†people murdered, 189 were murdered by “whites,†20 by “other,†37 by “unknown,†and 2,245 by “Black or African American.†In other words, 90.12% of African Americans murdered were murdered by other African Americans. And while it is true that 189 African Americans were murdered by whites, 409 whites were murdered by African Americans. In cross-race murders, more than twice as many whites have been murdered as African Americans. Overall, 48% of all murders are committed by African Americans, more than three times what would be expected from African Americans’ 13% of the population. So Black Lives Matter is accusing white “vigilantes†and the government, presumably police, of crimes that are almost entirely committed by African Americans. Black Lives Matter is projecting onto others what in fact is happening within their own group. They were taught projection well by their commie/fascist handlers.
Kye,
Never, ever forget. With conservatives, it’s ALWAYS projection.
The fascist, white nationalist nation you crave you ascribe to others.
You always end your screeds by smearing Black Americans. Always.
Mr est thinks Russia Big Orange is more popular than President Biden. Not according to the vote, polls or job approval numbers. No doubt he’s more popular at TPAC than the other alt-right slimebags.
Of course the difference between President Obama and TPAC Suggar is that one tried to overthrow America and was voted out and the other didn’t and wasn’t.
GOPhers at the state levels are working on voter suppression laws daily. GOPhers are a minority and the only way a minority can rule is by cheating. The last thing the Republican Party wants is more Americans voting. GOPhers do not believe in democracy. They can’t.
Keep whining about voter fraud, you losers. You’re in a cult. Black and Hispanic Americans voting is not fraud, it’s democracy in action. Orangie, his supporters and people such as you are the ones destroying our democracy. Typical cult behavior.
And seriously, a Golden Statue of your god-king at TPAC? Don’t you find that somewhat strange?
Can’t the Party find a decent person to lead your once decent party? Any garden variety Republican would sign the same bills that Big Orange did WITHOUT trying to overthrow the government. Just about every Republican has bought in to white, christian nationalism – those that don’t are being run out or leaving out of conscience.
Get the UN out of the USA and the USA out of the UN.
Precisely ten months, or approximately ten months? The referenced article was dated at 8:05 AM (EST?) on February 26, 2021, which means the (undated) report itself was (probably) released on February 25th. Precisely ten months would mean Christmas Day of this year!
Could that be our Christmas present, the day that the warmunists have to STFU about it, because there’s nothing we can do?
Alas! if it’s only approximately ten months, that might be December 31st or January 1st, so I guess that we can’t be sure.
Then again, didn’t our host have a story about a ‘countdown clock’ to Do Something, one that expired sometime in 2027 or something?
Didn’t Al Gore recently say we had 9 years? And now the UN says “precisely†10 months? Weather forecasters can’t even say precisely what the weather will be 5 days from now. Interesting, because the UN in 1989 said we had 20 years-to 2009. And now it’s 2022. Logically, if the “tipping point†went from 2009 to 2022, and emissions have continued to rise, then this would mean that evil CO2 molecule isn’t as strong as they thought. Or, they don’t know what they’re talking about….
