It’s definitely not the fault of the Elites who take lots of fossil fueled trips and live high on the hog
UN Security Council holds first-ever debate on sea level rise from climate change
Members of the United Nations Security Council held their first-ever debate on sea level rise Tuesday, according to a UN press release.
Hosted in New York, the debate was titled “Sea-Level Rise: Implications for International Peace and Security.”
Council members addressed the various implications of rising seas, such as increased competition for water and land, compromised economies and livelihoods and the destruction of homes and states.
“The impact of rising seas is already creating new sources of instability and conflict,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who opened the meeting.
By “debate”, they mean people yammer about doom and those yammering about DOOM! It reminds me of that bit from the Blues Brothers movie, where they ask the bartender lady at the country bar “what type of music do you have here, Ma’am?” and she answers “oh, we have both types: country and western.”
Guterras cited the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which stated that global average sea levels have risen faster since 1900 than over any preceding century in the last 3,000 years.
Which is complete horseshit, since the seas rose a whole hell of a lot more and faster during the 12,000 years from when the last ice age started to end. It rose hundreds of feet in the span of a 1,000 years at one point. The average for the 20th Century was around 7 inches, which is exactly average for sea rise over the last 8,000 years.
According to the WMO, the rate of sea level rise has doubled since 1993, with a 10 millimeter (0.4 inch) increase since January 2020 to a new record high in 2022.
“Although this is still measured in terms of millimetres per year, it adds up to half to 1 meter (1.6 to 3.1 feet) per century and that is a long-term and major threat to many millions of coastal dwellers and low-lying states,” the WMO said.
Nice try, but, the measured data doesn’t support that. However, about 1.6 feet would be the expectation during a Holocene warm period. Anyhow, the UN is very enthused about empowering government to take over your lives, while the elites keep on living theirs as if nothing is going on. Heck, even if the current warm period was mostly/solely caused by Mankind, why are all the policies around authoritarian government?
