A special meeting of the United Nations security council is due to consider whether to expand its mission to keep the peace in an era of climate change.

Small island states, which could disappear beneath rising seas, are pushing the security council to intervene to combat the threat to their existence.

There has been talk, meanwhile, of a new environmental peacekeeping force – green helmets – which could step into conflicts caused by shrinking resources.

The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-Moon, is expected to address the meeting on Wednesday.

Gee, I guess we’ll need a Global Super Government to make these decisions.

Count me out.

This is all so ignorant and ridiculous!! Following the end of the glacial maximum some 20,000 years ago, the oceans have risen about 300 feet World wide. Check this graph.

There were times in the post-glacial sea level rise, about 14,000 years ago, when the oceans rose 60 feet in less than 10 years.

Things like that happen naturally. Plan for it. We can't stop it.

It's simple, don't build homes in New Orleans for example. It's just a matter of time. It's gonna flood.

I'm ready to stop this nonsense with force of arms.

Hmmmm, UN + "climate change" + "peacekeeping" = ?? Kinda like mixing arsenic, strychnine, and cyanide and assuming you're gonna get snickerdoodles.

I love how at least one of those “small island states” is actively trying to shake everyone down because the land they sit on, being atoll, is sinking.

Maybe we can loan them the power jacks our debt ceiling has been sitting on and tell them to shut up already?
