UN chief Antonio Guterres warned that the world is “losing the race” on climate change as he demanded that governments make bolder commitments beyond the Paris accord.
“Climate change is the defining issue of our time”, he said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“It is absolutely central to reverse this trend. We need political will and we need governments who understand that this is the most important priority of our times,” he stressed.
The Paris climate accord has been shaken by the withdrawal of the United States under President Donald Trump, and by threats to do the same by Brazil’s new leader Jair Bolsonaro.
The UN secretary-general said the commitments made in Paris were already “not enough”.
“If what we agreed in Paris would be materialized, the temperature would rise more than 3.0 degrees (Celsius)”, he said on a Facebook Live broadcast from Davos.
“We need countries to make stronger commitments”, he said, calling for more measures to mitigate against climate change and adapt to it, along with financial aid for poorer countries.
Another climate change advocate, former secretary of state John Kerry, who signed the Paris accord for the United States in 2016, agrees with him.
However, he believes doomsday will come even sooner. “We’re heading towards 4.0 degrees Centigrade increase in this century, and the passive indifference that most countries are accepting is basically a mutual suicide pact”, he stated.
The fact that overpopulation is a huge threat to our environment was not discussed.
As usual the carbon tax idea was in focus.

How many private jets flew in and out of Davos for the conference?
Watch what they do, ignore what they say.
Money money money money
Where is Goebbels?
Ping
Run faster, Antonio! Run faster!
Maybe if you took longer strides?
The smog from their private jets taking off leaving Davos will cause global warming. Elite Snobs drink Champagne in the snow while BS talk about non existent warming so they can tax the middle class more to transfer wealth to the elites.
WTH? Lying SOC jfk says 4 deg C by 2100. Guess nobody told him ‘aoc’ has already called the game in 12 years.
Dear UN chief - relax and have a beer. The computer models are bull$hit.
In other words...”send money”.
Maybe if they would not fly their jets to Davos it would make a difference. Notice how the more we lower taxes on these people the more liberal they become. Do you think there is a connection?
Too bad thousands of Yellow Vests didn’t show up and completely disrupt the gathering of the elite in Davos this year - and spray paint rude graffiti all over their private jets and gas-guzzling limousines too!

Trump cut us off from all of that FREE MONEY!

Oregon governor Kulongoski (a politician)fired the state climatologist (a scientist) because the scientist would not follow the global warming (now called climate change) agenda
And the only answer is global socialism.
The liberals should all commit suicide now and avoid the chaos at the end.
the plan is extermination
giving them power, and of course
money based on the conjecture that
a molecule that composes 1/10,000th of the
atmosphere controls heat.
