Absent heroic efforts, the world has locked in dangerous climate change. That’s according to a much-anticipated report released on Monday in South Korea by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.-sponsored collection of the world’s top scientists.
That stark, blunt assessment comes after years of deliberation at the request of the world’s most vulnerable nations to assemble pathways that could limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees C, now believed to be the upper limit that would preserve the stability of the world’s interconnected ecological and societal systems.
Some key conclusions: The world has already warmed by about 1 degree C and without a global coordinated effort, the world will reach 1.5 degrees in as little as 12 years. “Several hundred million” lives are at stake, according to the IPCC, and the actions that are required to ensure a just transition to a fossil-fuel free world have significant overlap with the actions that would be needed to reduce global poverty.

There is no longer any attempt to even try to factual or logical. It is just fraudulent rants about how the planet is doomed.
The UN report says that “Several hundred million” lives are at stake.
Well, then.. Let’s move on.
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! Part Deux
Never believe the UN.
Liberals are seriously saying we’re imperiled over a ONE degree rise in temperature?
What a knee-slapper! These folks are insane.
Yes, but this was before the big math error in the paper was discovered. But, not nearly as publicized.
Setting it for Nancy and her Insanity
The Left lies to advance their anti-freedom agenda.
Socialism will be imposed upon you for your own good - whether you like it or not.
Got it.
Ya tell the big lie, ya tell the big lie over & over again. Eventually the sheep believe you.
Everyone else has stopped listening... That would be me; I stopped listening.
I’d save civilization by rounding up the entire IPCC and putting them on trial for crimes against humanity.
Somewhere, in my feeble brain, I seem to have heard this before, many times.
Civilization is at stake if you slaves don’t pay up!
Cause we can’t deal with a warmer planet.
A generation ago, libs were sure we were entering another ice age.
Blah, blah, blah, destroy all forms of capitalism, blah, blah, raise taxes on the rich, blah, blah....
Nancy won’t be able to do a thing with a Rep controlled Senate and Trump in the WH.
Funny how this issue took on a new urgency AFTER Trump dropped out of the panic groups.
To them, the “doom” is that the USA has pulled its funding from the bogus cause.
I have no love lost for the United Nations, and it would be fine with me if they packed up and leave this “polluted” country.
Obviously, the climate and the air isn’t good enough for the “diplomats” who reside here and belong to the UN.
I read where the lack of sunspot activity could move us into a mini ice age. In that case wouldn’t doing something to stop warming be counter productive?
“Well, then.. Let’s move on.”
Yep, now that it’s too late why get all worked up?
So give us all of your money now!
