Funny how the people who make the most noise about Doing Something about the climate crisis (scam) are the least likely to make any changes in their own life, and many have much, much bigger carbon footprints than the average 1st Worlder
UN chief appeals for global action to tackle deadly extreme heat
People everywhere are struggling with the fatal impacts of worsening extreme heat, which is also damaging economies, widening inequalities and undermining green development, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said on Thursday.
Calling for global action to limit the devastating consequences, the head of the United Nations said “billions of people are facing an extreme heat epidemic – wilting under increasingly deadly heatwaves”. (snip)
In a speech, he noted that heat – driven by “fossil fuel-charged, human-induced climate change” – is estimated to kill almost half a million people a year, about 30 times more than tropical cyclones.
Obviously, no one in the news media is demanding he provide proof
The Secretary-General’s “call for action” brings together ten specialised UN agencies for the first time in an urgent and concerted push to strengthen international cooperation in addressing extreme heat.
The same UN which brings 30K people to the yearly IPCC COPs via fossil fueled travel?
He emphasised the importance of “caring for the most vulnerable” – with those at greatest risk including poor people in urban areas, pregnant women, people with disabilities, the elderly, children, those who are sick and people who are displaced from their homes.
It’s an appeal to emotion, rather than logic.
The UN chief urged a “huge acceleration of all the dimensions of climate action” as global warming is currently outpacing efforts to fight it. That could start to change, he added, as heatwaves, impacts on public health and disasters such as Canada’s wildfires are now hitting the richest countries as well as poorer ones.
“The heat is being felt by those that have decision-making capacity – and that is my hope,” he said.
All those policies end up giving government greater and greater power over their peasants. This way lies Authoritarianism.
