Is there some big climate conference coming up? Usually the UN doesn’t make these dire prognostications of ruination unless there is a conference coming up. Or, it could be due to many polls showing that people are caring less about Doing Something because inflation is rocking the 1st world and the cost of food and everything is hurting their pocketbooks. Including energy, for which the climate scam actions are exasperating the costs

‘The stakes could not be higher’: world is on edge of climate abyss, UN warns

The world is on the verge of a climate abyss, the UN has warned, in response to a Guardian survey that found that hundreds of the world’s foremost climate experts expect global heating to soar past the international target of 1.5C.

A series of leading climate figures have reacted to the findings, saying the deep despair voiced by the scientists must be a renewed wake-up call for urgent and radical action to stop burning fossil fuels and save millions of lives and livelihoods. Some said the 1.5C target was hanging by a thread, but it was not yet inevitable that it would be passed, if an extraordinary change in the pace of climate action could be achieved.

The Guardian got the views of almost 400 senior authors of reports by the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Almost 80% expected a rise of at least 2.5C above preindustrial levels, a catastrophic level of heating, while only 6% thought it would stay within the 1.5C limit. Many expressed their personal anguish at the lack of climate action.

If they have this much despair and anguish perhaps they should live a net zero life, and convince their climate cult brethren to do the same, and leave the rest of us the fuck alone. Stop trying to be Fascists, stop trying to get government to be Authoritarian, and practice what they preach

“The goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C is hanging by a thread,” said the official spokesperson for António Guterres, the UN secretary general. “The battle to keep 1.5C alive will be won or lost in the 2020s – under the watch of political and industry leaders today. They need to realise we are on the verge of the abyss. The science is clear and so are the world’s scientists: the stakes for all humanity could not be higher.”
