The funny thing is, the UN seems more concerned about nations having plans than actually implementing those plans
UN chief calls new report a “red alert” for Earth
A new report from the United Nations warns that global governments are “nowhere” near ambitious enough to adequately tackle climate change and meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. To fix this, the report shows that countries have to redouble their efforts and adjust their goals by the end of this year to limit global temperature rise by the end of the century.
The NDC Synthesis Report analyzes governments’ climate action plans that have already been submitted to the UN as part of the global effort to reduce emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. So far, 75 parties — making up roughly 30% of the world’s total emissions — have submitted their plans. A second report is expected to be released prior to the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in November.
And those plans so far? #Fail
A new UN Climate Change report shows that climate plans submitted so far by countries do not put us on a path to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
But many parties must still submit their #NDC. This year, we can turn this trend around. #ItsPossible

— UN Climate Change (@UNFCCC) February 26, 2021
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that emissions must be reduced by roughly 45% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and ensure that the average global temperature does not increase more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. While the majority of countries included in Friday’s report show that their individual reduction goals have improved, combined, they will only reduce emissions by less than 1% by 2030.
That’s some serious economic destruction that needs to occur over the next 9 years, eh? Along with massive taxation and control of citizens and private entities.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement that “2021 is a make or break year to confront the global climate emergency.”
“Today’s interim report from the UNFCCC is a red alert for our planet. It shows governments are nowhere close to the level of ambition needed to limit climate change to 1.5 degrees and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement,” Guterres said. “The major emitters must step up with much more ambitious emissions reductions targets for 2030 in their Nationally Determined Contributions well before the November UN Climate Conference in Glasgow.”
Is Paris still historic if the vast majority of nations don’t even have plans, much less proper plans?
“The major emitters must step up with much more ambitious emissions reductions targets…”
IOW, China. The US is already on track.
Teach that massive tax increase caused by green energy ? I haven’t seen that yet when will that happen ? We altrsfy know that going carbon neutral for the USA would equal about 250$ per person
Is that the “massive” tax increase you fear?
“We” don’t know that at all.
The sweeping “Green New Deal” proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., could cost as much as $93 trillion, or approximately $600,000 per household, according to a new study co-authored by the former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Such costs are always regressive but Hairy, like the rest of the left, hates the lower class.
After all, all the left has is hate.
It is our understanding the $93 trillion price tag came from a conservative think-tank, the American Action Forum. Can gitarcarver clarify where he obtained his “quote”.
The previous president pushed the total to $100 TRILLION!
And of course, the Green New Deal is not law or policy, but is a nonbinding resolution not yet come to a vote, and is not equivalent to “going carbon neutral”.
But how much would it cost to reach the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050? It will certainly cost something, but no one really knows how much. We can all agree that it will not cost $100 TRILLION. And what is the cost of NOT becoming carbon neutral? We don’t know that either with certainty. We do know the Earth is warming and the balance of evidence supports the theory that it’s caused by increased CO2.
We fully understand that over the past few decades conservatives have adopted the political position that global climate change is a hoax, a scam, and a communist plot to take control of us all. This position was consolidated during the disastrous 2008 presidential campaign. That political belief drives conservatives/Republicans to oppose any and all efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
Bloomberg estimated going carbon neutral could cost $1 TRILLION a year.

Fun with big numbers: In the next 10 years, living in America will cost a total of at least $50 TRILLION at the federal level alone, or approximately $300,000 per household!!
Thanks Elwood for proving Hairy’s statement to be a lie.
As for the source of my quote, it is amazing that you didn’t ask the same thing of Hairy. Perhaps it is because of the left’s hatred for those who disagree with them that they hold different people to different standards.
After all, all the left has is hate.
Get a kick every time Rimjob uses the terms “understand” and/or “understanding” also “we all know” when he actually doesn’t.
Bwaha! Lolgf
gitarcarver: “Oh yeah, but whatabout that other guy?”
We claimed that no one really knows the cost – whether $250 per person/year?, or $93 TRILLION/what? (gitarcarver’s claim) or $100 TRILLION/what? (the past prez claim).
We were asking about YOUR unsupported claim, you oleaginous asshole. You even moved the goalposts, changing carbon neutral to the Green New Deal. And then lied about that repeatedly.
What is the source of YOUR misleading quote? It wasn’t the CBO as you implied, was it?
We pointed the partisan source of your ridiculous $93 TRILLION number and you revert to your typical assholery.
Is there even one honest conservative left in America?
After all, as he proves with everything he types, all the gitarcarver ever has is bullshit. LOL.
And now for the even better question, why the need to go “carbon neutral†at all?
You haven’t seen anything yet, John? Oil was selling for about $36 a barrel in November, now it’s about $63 a barrel.
NOW for some news the MSM wont’t tell you.
Cat food shortages continue as Covid-19 keeps plants in lock down.
Under Fire, Cuomo Backs Down on Plan to Probe His Own Alleged Misconduct….This is what Democrats do when confronted with their own ill deeds. They investigate themselves.
WokeWalkers are now considered the most dangerous threat to world wide stability on the planet by a poll of 138 countries. In a poll conducted in secret at the UN, the number one issue facing the world was not covid-19 but rather the Woke movement that is affecting every aspect of a nations culture.
Three letter agencies find that most of the outrage coming over a deed(Hashtag Cancel) is done through bot accounts funded by the water army of China. Along with Bot armies set up by other foreign actors such as Russia, Iran and North Korea.
THE FBI ACCUSES DONALD TRUMP OF KIDNAPPING LADY GAGA’s DOGS. Anyone like to know why the FBI is even involved in investigating an attempted murder and dog napping? It was because Lady Gaga sang at Biden’s inauguration and because she is a democrat any crime against a democrat is now considered a HATE CRIME..
Dozens of videos of FBI agents appear online showing up looking like the Pillsbury dough boy and totally incompetent and lacking in basic understanding of the law. Video’s showing these Agents as totally flabbergasted when police or citizens do not fall to the ground and worship the lard ass agents. Other videos show FBI agents arriving at police stations for interviews totally inebriated.
100’s of more videos arrive on the internet of people selling their guns to someone at a gun show in a legal setting and then said gun finds it’s way into the hands of a criminal and said gun sold at a gun show with a background check is then a crime. Even though it is not. The FBI personally causes you 10’s of thousands of dollars of legal fees only to then throw out the case.
Other online videos appear showing the ATF arriving at homes with a search warrant to check to see if your legal firearm is stored properly. I kid you the fuk not. They literally tear people’s homes apart to find your weapon which in some states must be stored disassembled and with locking mechanisms in place on each piece. AHEM CALIFORNIA.
19 Indian Soldiers sneak over the border and destroy an entire company of CCP doughboys. In China the problem for their military is that the culture of the country has made their children soft, snowflakes and spoiled because they do not have to work for anything. It is all handed to them by the government and whenever something is denied them they look like police videos in the USA of screaming, insane homeless people throwing a fit because they can’t ride the bus because it is full.
All around the EU lock down protests continue. I do not understand why the governments continue with their lock downs. They just encourage super spreader events which keeps the virus spreading. I supposed the basic need for humans is to lord it over each other.
MEXICO asks the USA to share its Vaccines. Biden accuses Trump as the reason as to why we only have vaccinated such a few amount of people when in fact Biden said the world should be vaccinated ahead of the USA. Mexico is only the latest in a long list of people begging for the vaccine ahead of the USA.
Conservativism is on the rise in dramatic fashion around the world. The MSM won’t cover this.
NEW ZEALAND LOCKS DOWN AUCKLAND after finding ONE CASE OF COVID-19. I would suggest if you want to see what America would look like under socialism, just visit New Zealand for a year. The nation is a cult.
