The United Nations alarmist-in-chief António Guterres said this week humanity must urgently find solutions to climate change because it “has opened the gates of hell.”
“Horrendous heat is having horrendous effects,” Guterres warned in his opening remarks Wednesday at the U.N. Climate Ambition Summit in New York. [emphasis, links added]
“Distraught farmers watching crops carried away by floods; sweltering temperatures spawning disease; and thousands fleeing in fear as historic fires rage,” the Portuguese socialist intoned.
“Climate action is dwarfed by the scale of the challenge,” he inveighed, and humanity is heading towards a 2.8-degree temperature rise ushering in “a dangerous and unstable world.”
Yet some brave souls are working toward a solution, “fighters and trailblazers” forging a path forward, he noted hopefully.
These climate pioneers include activists “refusing to be silenced,” indigenous peoples “defending their lands from climate extremes,” chief executives “transforming their business models,” and financiers “funding a just transition,” he declared.
They also include mayors “moving towards to a zero-carbon future” and governments “working to stamp out fossil fuels and protect vulnerable communities,” he added.
Pulling no punches, Guterres said the move from fossil fuels to renewables is being hampered by the “foot-dragging, arm-twisting, and the naked greed of entrenched interests raking in billions from fossil fuels.”
The U.N. chief said he has put forward an “Acceleration Agenda” calling on governments of developed countries to “reach net zero as close as possible to 2040” and emerging economies “as close as possible to 2050.”
Somehow the Acceleration Agenda will bring about a fair, equitable, and just energy transition “while providing affordable electricity to all,” Guterres insists, a task historically accomplished only by fossil fuels.
To whip global warming, countries must “exit coal,” end fossil fuel subsidies, and set “ambitious renewable energy goals in line with the 1.5-degree limit,” he asserted.
The U.N. Acceleration Agenda also calls for climate justice, he declared, insisting that the poorest nations “have every right to be angry” because they are suffering “from a climate crisis they did nothing to create.”
The hyperbolic rhetoric employed by Guterres to decry global warming has heightened in pitch and intensity, making him sound more and more unhinged.
Just two months ago, he declared that “the era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived,” a curiously meaningless statement.
Earlier this month, Guterres said the “dog days of summer are not just barking, they are biting,” adding the “climate breakdown has begun.”
Guterres [blamed] the climate apocalypse on “our fossil fuel addiction,” insisting that “climate is imploding faster than we can cope.”

Guterres thinks everyone is as ignorant as he is.
What Guterres is selling doesn’t appear to be working. Wind turbines and solar panels aren’t keeping up with energy demand. Interesting that the alarmists don’t tell us that 60% of expected carbon dioxide reduction will come from our sacrifices. True believers should be in their moment of doubt and regret soon.
Already, mining for electric-powering minerals has reportedly left 23 million people exposed to toxic waste, 500,000km of rivers polluted, and 16 million acres of farmland ruined. Destroying environments is the pathway to saving the planet from climate change?
What Asylum did this screwball escape from? the UN is the place where the Devil abides
Face it WWIII is raging against humanity! Sociopathic globalists are pursuing world domination using fear, lies and threats of catastrophic climate change. They hope to murder millions of people to accomplish their goal; they don’t care if you starve to death! They plan to destroy all agriculture, industry and energy production. Plentiful food, freedom of movement, constitutional rights and elections will be distant memories all national borders will dissolve. It’s a tyrannical plan only the chosen ruling elites will survive.
The UN Chief paints a picture of a world in crisis from extreme weather events. Yet, the scientific body of his own organization says these are not increasing. This shows that the politics of the climate change movement is running wild with no connection to true science. A 2.8 increase in temperature (which we are not headed for) is being presented as an apocalyptic hellscap. Yet, I’m not aware of even a junk science study describing the expected result of such warming.
The UN Climate Ambition Summit opened in New York on 20 September 2023. Governments are expected to present more ambitious targets for reducing emissions and phase out plans for fossil fuels. I wonder how much the UK will promise to scale back its emissions since it has already backed off from plans that would excessively harm the average family. How much additional ambition will Germany offer since it has been forced to fall back on coal to keep the lights on? How much will China offer?
Here is an update to the UN Climate Ambition Summit. It has been describe as having lackluster results. One thing interesting is that the US, China, India, Russia, France, and UK were not invited to participate because of lack of progress in reducing emissions. The goal of COP28, starting on November 30, is to create a plan for the total phase out of fossil fuels. The poor progress at the Ambition Summit was said to put that at risk.
