BALI, Indonesia - The human race faces oblivion if it fails to confront global warming, the U.N. secretary-general said Tuesday, as delegates to the U.N. climate conference haggled over a new document strengthening a call for deeper cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by rich nations.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived on the resort island of Bali to preside over the final days of the two-week conference, which aims to set an agenda and deadline for talks that will lead to a climate change pact to succeed the Kyoto Protocol in 2012.

Ban urged quick action as negotiators worked on a final conference decision document. A version obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday included guidelines for industrialized countries to cut their emissions overall by 2020 by between 25 percent and 40 percent.

"The situation is so desperately serious that any delay could push us past the tipping point, beyond which the ecological, financial and human costs would increase dramatically," Ban said in a speech to delegates.

"We are at a crossroad," he added. "One path leads to a comprehensive climate change agreement, the other to oblivion. The choice is clear."

Yes and the solution is to give billions to them.

Now you know why they support it.

Whenever I say something like: “Oh! We’re all gonna die!” to a GW alarmist, they’ve gotten really mad (can’t stand sarcasm, I guess). Maybe if I just said: “Oh! We’re all on the path to oblivion.”, they’d just nod in agreement. (Of course, if they did nod, a loud rattling noise would ensue.)

“World risks oblivion without deal to battle global warming”

Translation,

“UN faces profit losses if no longer paid to “verify” Chinese carbon credits.”

"The hysteria level rises."

They are really ratcheting up the rhetoric lately - every day the talk gets more extreme. I think it's because they know that we're coming to the end of this brief natural warming cycle, and the public will soon see the global warming hysteria was a scam intended to achieve globalist political objectives. So they need to ram through their agenda ASAP.

In addition to that, if they can get protocols in place before the natural cycle begins to cool, they’ll then take credit for the cooling and cement their control over the world economy.

The planet is about to explode. Load the children into space capsules and launch them into space so they land on a farm in Kansas.

If the world continues to support and respect the corrupt and anti America U.N — then the world deserves to be burned alive in the global warming inferno...

Why does the MSM ignore all the valid scientific studies showing GW to be a normal, cyclical phenomenon? Hmmm, aganda anyone. Tell that SOB to EAT ME!

So if we it DOES kill us off, who would be here to care after it happens?

Besides, isn't killing off mankind the purpose of some of these Gaia worshipers anyway?
