UN Chief Calls On World Leaders to Declare ‘Climate Emergency’
Joe Biden: “The United States will rejoin the Paris Agreement on day one of my presidency.”
The United Nations Secretary-General has told world leaders to declare a climate emergency. “I call on all leaders worldwide to declare a State of Climate Emergency in their countries until carbon neutrality is reached,” UN chief Antonio Guterres said on Saturday at a summit marking the fifth anniversary of the 2015 Paris Agreement.
The UN chief’s call comes has many in the climate camp are encouraged by the hopes of a possible Democrat-led administration in the United States, media reports say. “Guterres made his call at a summit aimed at building on momentum behind the Paris deal, buoyed in recent months by … the prospect of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden bringing the United States back into the pact,” Reuters reported.
On Saturday, Joe Biden vowed to bring back Obama-era climate policies and reenter the Paris Accord when he takes office. “The United States will rejoin the Paris Agreement on day one of my presidency,” Biden said. “I’ll immediately start working with my counterparts around the world to do all that we possibly can, including by convening the leaders of major economies for a climate summit within my first 100 days in office.”
President Donald Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement in 2017, citing its destructive effect on the U.S. manufacturing jobs and economy.
The Obama administration-sponsored climate pact is not designed to protect the environment but as a socialist project for wealth redistribution on a global scale, President Trump believes. “This agreement is less about the climate and more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the United States,” he said at the time of the withdrawal. “The agreement is a massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries.”
The German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle reported UN chief’s comments:
World leaders should declare a “climate emergency” in their countries to spur action to avoid catastrophic global warming, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in opening remarks at a climate summit on Saturday.On the fifth anniversary of the 2015 Paris Agreement, more than 70 world leaders are due to address the one-day virtual meeting in the hope of galvanizing countries into stricter actions on global warming emissions.Guterres said that current commitments across the globe did not go “far from enough” to limit temperature rises.“Can anybody still deny that we are facing a dramatic emergency?” Guterres said. “That is why today, I call on all leaders worldwide to declare a State of Climate Emergency in their countries until carbon neutrality is reached.”
Biden, who repeatedly distanced himself from the radical green agenda during the presidential campaign, was supported by leading climate activists, including the Swedish-born climate celebrity Greta Thunberg, who ahead of the U.S. vote called millions of her social media followers to “get organized and get everyone to vote Biden.”
While Biden kept on denying backing the Green New Deal in his campaign appearances, his official website endorsed the radical climate agenda. “Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face,” the Biden campaign website declared.
His running mate Kamala Harris is fully on board with the agenda. As Senator she initially co-sponsored the Green New Deal which calls for ending fossil fuels and banning fracking.
While Biden now plans to hitch his wagon back to the globalist agenda by reentering the Paris agreement, President Trump remains firm in his opposition. “The Paris accord was not designed to save the environment, it was designed to kill the American economy,” he told the world leaders at the G20 summit late last month.
“I refused to surrender millions of American jobs and send trillions of Americans dollars to the world’s worst polluters and environmental offenders,” he added, referring to China, India, and leading third-world polluters who gain billions of dollars under the framework of the climate pact.

Sundowner will go all it this throwing us under the bus to stop “climate change “.
And it’s all a giant Ponzi scheme con artist job!
One consolation CCP Joe will never be president nor will Communist Chinese Bribe taking Kamala!
This is the next step. Look at all the freedom they have eradicated in the name of “flattening the curve” on a virus that has an infection fatality rate of .26% concentrated upon older and sicker people who are beyond average life expectancy.
Climate change is “an existential threat,” meaning, they say, it will kill all mankind and every living thing on the planet. Look at what they are willing to do to counter a .26% threat. Wait until you see what they will do to counter a supposed 100% threat. Prepare for slavehood.
Climate change is unlikely to kill every living thing, it will unless checked have a very profound impact on life on earth. Besides climate change policies will actually be beneficial to the economy. New industries and new opportunities.
“Besides climate change policies will actually be beneficial to the economy. New industries and new opportunities.”
Please demonstrate where centralized command economies have produced either freedom or prosperity. Also, I am not saying climate change will kill anything on earth. It is the Democrats and global corporatist elites who claim climate change is an “existential threat,” which by definition means everyone dies.
Please name a climate change policy that will be beneficial to the economy? Let’s start with the elimination of the internal combustion engine. First explain where all the electricity comes from to power the replacement. Hint – it does not come out the wall. Second, please explain how airplanes fly without the internal combustion engine, or how world trade is maintained without large ocean going ships.
Lastly, what is climate change? It went from global cooling, to global waring, to a quite amorphous climate change. Please explain how the UN climate change models are statistically provable to be wrong in their predictions and why we must then follow these proven false models to economic ruin. Please explain your “science.”

Well China, their current GDP growth stands at around 7%. For clarity im NOT in favour of the Chinese model. But that misses the point the policies dont have to be based on a left wing model. Actually if you look at the industries in the USA solar power and wind power and naturally growing whereas oil and coal is not. They are dwindling industries.

Well Id cite Tesla as a perfect example, electric engines are much more eco friendly than the internal combustion engine and as a business they are doing pretty good. Airplanes are more challenging for short haul its plausible to replace with an electric engine but not long haul (yet). But this misses the point. Climate change policy is more than just cars, its things like insulating your home so your not using the boiler so much or smart controls in your hose so its not on all the time or zone controlled. It might be mass power generation for things like nuclear or solar farms or higher standards in engines to reduce the footprint of each car.

Please explain your “science.”
Well global cooling was specifically attributed to CFC’s which cause a hole in the Ozone layer. That particular effect is diminishing since CFCs were banned sometime ago. I think its worth saying that the models provided have quite large error bars that is to say they have a range of values but given the trend line has largely been accurate to date it seems reasonable to say that that trend line will continue. Actually the economic argument is pretty simple. If you invest in ‘green’ tech now the cost will be low, if the situation becomes a lot worse with climate change then the cost will be a lot higher. Think of it like this. If you fix your roof you wont let water in but if you don’t then your roof timbers will rot and you end up replacing the roof tiles and the roof timbers; in the case of climate change that additional cost is things like flood defences for sea level rises. for example https://www.wired.co.uk/article/jakarta-sinking
“The agreement is a massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries.”
From day one, so called carbon credits was about transferring American wealth to other countries.
I’ll take CCP Influence for $1000, Alex. I’m going to miss Jeopardy ?
I look forward to having UN soldiers from Rwanda banging on my front door at 3:00 AM to check the thermostat settings on my HVAC unit. It is a small price to pay to keep Mother alive until the planet Elon is terraformed.
No fears, everyone! Biden has promised to make John Kerry personally in charge of our weather!

8 – Your nice suburb will be filled with homeless people as the ‘remake of America’ continues via the original Obama plan. Just ask the people on the Upper West Side of NYC what has been going on.
9 – Crime will skyrocket. Today the new LA announced more crimes he will not prosecute. This will go nationwide. You will be forever be scared.
10 – Immediately they will take your guns. If you don’t give them up, they will kill you.
11 – Your children will continue to be turned into genderless freaks so as to pacify the population, destroy masculinity (that little thing that allows insurrections to foment).
12 – American history will be erased.
13 – America will become insolvent, the dollar will lose all value over a short period of time. This has been the plan all along, why Obama doubled the national debt, more than all other presidents combined. The ‘pandemic’ has put this plan on steroids.
14 – The American economy will collapse as ‘progressive’ policies are re-implemented. Over-regulation will reappear. You will have no control over private property.
15 – The Conservative party will never win another election. They will cheat to ensure this result.
16 – The Supreme Court will be packed so the Left’s agenda can be rammed through.
17 – DC will become a state, cementing socialist rule.
18 – You will be targeted for retribution. Just listen to AOC and her minions.
19 – You will be targeted by the Federal government if you resist.
20 – You will only be able to travel if you are in the elite.
In short, America as we know it will cease to exist. Your way of life today will cease
None of the things you state are reflected in any policy stipulated by the incoming Biden administration.
And why would they put any of those into any stated policy?
Because that isnt their policy platform, you cant ascribe policies to someone when that isnt what they represent. Biden has flaws for sure ( i mean seriously he is way too old) but overall he isnt extreme at all. Thats kinda the point he is boring
That’s it? That’s your criticism? All you could come up with for flaws? He’s too “old?” He’s a senile, incompetent Washington insider with nothing worthwhile to show for a nearly 50 year career. He’s hilariously corrupt. Biden will do whatever the far left tells him to do, because at this point he’s little more than a meat puppet. And he’s not going to be around for long, anyway. Harris is worse.
Globalists are delusional when it comes to efficacy of their theories, their ignorance of human nature, and their sanctimonious self-importance.
@evil otto, well I take a more measured view .. Biden isn’t wholely bad like Trump isn’t wholely bad either or vice versa. Well yes he is an insider that’s true but perhaps the country could do with some stability it’s been pretty turbulent with Trump. I don’t buy that he is a meat puppet sorry that doesn’t stack up with the way he has behaved. Personally I think it’s best to work together rather than throw shit around, otherwise the partisan divide is only going to get worse
What a charming, unity message. Did you hold this same view of how “it’s best to work together rather than throw shit around” during the last four years? Or is this a sudden new revelation you’ve had since Biden will apparently be installed in the White House?
Funny thing about lefties, they always want “unity” and “working together” when their side wins. The trouble is that we know, for a fact because we lived it for the past four years, that this is not actually what you want and never is.
You can keep trolling here (until you cross the line like this one guy who once went by the name of YellowSnake; oddly, you remind me of him and of his other incarnations quite a lot), but don’t think for a minute that you are gaining anything.
No one here is stupid and that means no one here is buying what you’re selling. Do you honestly think that after the last four years of non-stop anti-Trump conspiracy lunacy, an unfounded impeachment circus, and the travesty of the 2020 election that anyone here cares about the “partisan divide”? If you believe that and aren’t just being paid to spout this nutter nonsense, please understand that dog won’t hunt.
Do you hold the power of cancellation? It would be appropriate, and poetic justice.

Absolutely my preference is for all people to work together, seems to work better than when against each other. No its not a new revelation its how i’ve always thought. Just because other parties have acted in bad faith doesnt mean you have to reduce yourself to there level.

You assume i’m on the left, you have no knowledge of my policy preferences. Well to be honest its been a pretty turbulent 4 years, lots going on. I think there is a difference between calling out someone on bullshit and working together.
You can keep trolling here (until you cross the line like this one guy who once went by the name of YellowSnake; oddly, you remind me of him and of his other incarnations quite a lot), but don’t think for a minute that you are gaining anything.
Again, im not trolling – seems like you dont appreciate a different perspective. If your first recourse is to insult me rather than debate me id suggest you’ve already lost the argument,

Ironic, Trump is the pro conspiracy. I’m going to get a lot of hate for this but Trump was clearly guilty the man has debased the office, made a farce of the constitution and fed a line to an alienated base. The election was actually from a turn out point of view a great success, more people voted than ever before. That’s good for democracy just a shame conspiracy theories were thrown around to try and change the verdict.
Before you call me a leftie commie many many republicans have come out to say that Trump has gone too far.
21. A lot of them are going to die. Think of this election as the Democrat’s Pearl Harbor. Like people with neck tattoos, rarely do they exhibit strategic thinking. Ask Bill K. how his AWB worked out in the long run. By last count, there are 20M+ more AR’s in circulation than there were in 1993. The first rule of war is that every measure is met with a more effective counter-measure, and we are way smarter than they are. Being evil starts things, but it rarely finished them.
Do you wear a mask? If so, all talk.
Yep I wear a mask, I mean why not?
Because it’s pointless and ineffective. You wear a mask because it’s fashionable to show you want to do something to fight COVID. And so every one goes around in a mask, and people keep catching the virus, and they wonder why. Must be Trump’s fault.
In WWI, generals sent wave after wave, year after year marching into the guns of the German defenses on the Western Front. All evidence showed these tactics were futile and only resulted in a horrendous slaughter. But the generals were the “experts,” and did not want to admit they were wrong, so in their embarrassment of not having any good answers to solve the actual problem, they sent millions uselessly to their deaths, year after year.
That’s what these idiots telling you to wear a mask are doing. Meanwhile, millions catch the virus and hundreds of thousands die. But you will continue to do something futile and pointless because some self appointed expert tells you to do it. Why not?
My point was it doesnt have a negative impact. Even if it were true that it doesnt do anything it doesnt do anything bad its just uncomfortable. The evidence shows that wearing masks does help, not perfect but helpful. The experience around the world is that mask wearing reduces transmission. Its one of the reason the USA has done so badly because their is so much doubt about masks. I dont really understand why.
Because there’s little evidence that they actually work. What few studies exist (and there are very few) almost all cover medical masks used by professionals in limited circumstances such as hospitals. There’s almost no data on the cloth masks or cheap paper masks that people buy at Walmart, wear constantly, and often use incorrectly.
You asked “why not?” Because, aside from serious questions about whether they do anything, there’s also the question of personal freedom. As an American I have a serious distrust of authority figures and so-called experts, and I’m proud of it. I don’t blindly believe everything I’m told. And just because I’m ordered to wear one of these ridiculous face diapers doesn’t mean I’m going to comply just because someone asks “why not?”
The answer is “because I don’t want to.”
Actually the data set is the experience of the various countries. Which ones have done well and which ones have not. Of course there are a number of factors but taking the USA it has not used masks and correspondingly has done very badly even compared to Europe.
Your answer to why not is personal freedom? Im not sure i understand that, its not inhibiting to have to wear a mask? And fundamentally its not really about you its about your family and your friends or the local dr or teachers. By making that choice you are basically saying that not wearing some cloth over your face in public is more important than the lives of others; and more importantly the lives of those around you.
“There’s almost no data on the cloth masks or cheap paper masks that people buy at Walmart, wear constantly, and often use incorrectly.”
And say “totally ineffective for medical purposes” right on the fracking box.
“Actually the data set is the experience of the various countries.”
That’s not a data set. At all. Not even close. I’m talking about SCIENTIFIC STUDIES, not comparisons of vaguely worded “countries that have done well.” What does that even mean?
“Your answer to why not is personal freedom?”
Yes. Did I stutter? Do you even understand that concept?
“By making that choice you are basically saying that not wearing some cloth over your face in public is more important than the lives of others; and more importantly the lives of those around you.”
I’ve already told you that I have no belief that these “pieces of cloth” do anything at all. And you put no effort into proving it. I don’t wear a mask because some stranger on the internet (that’s you, in case I’m being unclear) tries to guilt me into it.
Data. Now. If you can’t prove they work I will not wear one.

I’m sure there are others if you Google it.
With regard to your choice about ‘freedoms’ I’m not entirely clear how wearing a mask inhibits it?
Note the keyword: EMERGENCY
We have just gone through a nearly one-year-long ’emergency’ where the globalist control addicts got a good taste of power. They were able to herd people around like cattle, destroy any small businesses they disliked, milk big business for unprecedented contributions, and get a puppet installed as US President. In a little over a month, people will be lining up to get their Covid shots, and all that power will just slip through the would-be tyrants’ fingers.
Time for another ’emergency’ so the shackles can once again be latched around the feet of free people, only this time a simple shot will not chase the weasels back to their dens. I fear it may take more.
Slow Joe will probably let the Chinese Yuan be the new currency of record.
Hoping gas goes to $12 a gallon. And the liberals can’t take their kids to disney world.
Imagine the joy on the liberals faces when they finally learn how to use candles without burning their homes down.
“Imagine the joy on the liberals faces when they finally learn how to use candles without burning their homes down”
They will sacrifice whatever is required to save the planet. That sacrifice includes you and your family. The planet must be saved. Only the essential should be saved, that is, the global corporatist elite, and their enforcers and slaves.
Climate deniers and the non-essential are the virus that threatens the planet. They are an existential threat and must be eradicated. The planet deserves nothing less.
You’d need a hydraulic winch just to hoist his fatass to a scaffold. Luckily, Caterpillar and John Deere make front loaders that can do the heavy lifting and dig a big enough hole, all in the same day.
I said it when Trump first took office; The Senate should take up the ‘agreement’ just like it was a Treaty for consideration and vote it down like the crap-for-brains idea it is.
This particular problem would have been solved.
But noooo, they had to play politics with it.
Well – now we have to deal with the possibility of control of the Senate changing hands.
Channel Yosemite Sam: “Politicians is so stupid.”
“Can anybody still deny that we are facing a dramatic emergency?”
(raises hand) Umm, me.
