MADRID (Reuters) – Major economies resisted calls for bolder climate commitments as a U.N. summit in Madrid limped toward a delayed conclusion on Saturday, dimming hopes that nations will act in time to stop rising temperatures devastating people and the natural world.
[snip] The annual climate marathon had been due to conclude on Friday, but dragged on with ministers mired in multiple disputes over implementing the Paris deal, which has so far failed to stem the upward march of global carbon emissions.
[snip] The Paris process has been weakened by a move by U.S. President Donald Trump to begin withdrawing the world’s largest historical emitter from the agreement last month, making it easier for other big countries to backslide.

But somehow this time will be different, and the ‘experts’ and 16-year olds of today will suddenly be correct in their new predictions of eco-doom and eco-disaster? Not.

“For the planet” is now openly used as an excuse for total power.
Can democracy survive climate change?
To face the invisible enemy, experts say there might be a need for “sweeping powers.”

Deeeeelicious! OKAY DOOMERS! Fookin’ idjits!
We’re all gonna die in 11 years anyway. What’s the hurry?
There was an eruption of anger? Any video of that?
The Marxist enviro whack jobs are simply in pursuit of dictatorial powers so they can run the world by decree and to hell with democracy or liberty.
I don’t get the ;eft??? They tell us not to listen to anyone who does not have a PHD in climate science, but now we are all supposed to worship the words of a teenager??
Youth is overrated and wasted on the young. What do I know? I’m an old, age-weathered climate change denier fogey.
So there.
Killer Bees! lol. I was virtually terrified growing up in the 70’s, wondering how we would survive that.
Anger and crying are manipulations designed to override logic and reason. Usually, if your opponent gets angry, you have already won the argument.
Why is it all the West’s fault? Geez.
Here's a video of a guy who's not wasting his youth:
Watch and remember.
The Oriental landes have nothing on us Abend landes.
The global warming “climate change” crap is used for totalitarian purposes because it’s the easiest effective means of brainwashing young kids (we are all born stupid...or at least most of us are) in the concentration camps we call “education” institutions.
They force the masses to have to truly educate themselves and throw off the brainwashing in order to counteract them owning their brains for 14 formative years. They get an army of replenishing zombies hitting voting age each year.
Here’s the point to keep driving home, my friends:
No one is going to live a crappier life to make climate nuts happy!
And that includes most climate nuts.
Climate change is whatever the communists want it to be to gain control of democracies.
