Forget the Holocaust—U.N. Says Climate Change ‘Greatest Threat We’ve Ever Faced’

If you thought the Great War, Stalin’s Purges or the Holocaust were bad, think Again. They pale in comparison with climate change, which the United Nations has dubbed “the greatest threat we have ever faced.”

Climate alarmists often fail to see the irony behind their own hyperbole. The more hysterical their claims become the more average, thinking citizens grow skeptical of whether things could really be as bad as certain environmentalists contend.

To justify its breathless panic, the UN Environmental Program quotes one Justin Adams as saying that “the science tells us we have no time to waste.”

Where one may rightly wonder did “the science” tell us this? What does “the science” use as a mouthpiece? The more closely one looks, the more “the science” begins to resemble an exasperated little man behind a curtain talking into a microphone and pulling on levers to blow out steam.

Science, unlike “the science,” is an incredibly useful thing. When acknowledging their proper bounds—what they can and cannot tell us—scientists propel beneficial progress in areas as diverse as medicine, astrophysics, and marine biology.

When they begin to play the prophet, however, predicting events two hundred years in the future that their own colleagues recognize as groundless, they quickly lose the already precarious trust of a doubting public.

In the 2800-word article accompanying the UN tweet, we read:

Climate-related disasters are getting worse; the ocean is losing fish and gaining plastic; urban pollution is at a choking point; drinking water is drying up; the world’s big cats are nearing extinction and some think coral reefs may not be far behind—troubling given this is also the International Year of the Reef.

Even with its grammatical irregularities, that is quite a packed paragraph of panic. Climate alarmists complain when skeptics refer to their forecasts as “doomsday scenarios,” but it’s difficult to describe them any other way.

What the rambling, 12-point article proves to be, is an extended fundraising letter. Once they have utterly terrified their readers concerning the impending environmental apocalypse, the UN climate team tells them all they need is more money and they will be able to solve all their problems.

The hubris behind such a statement is itself a little jarring, but the notion that CO2—to quote one wag—is just a climate “control knob” that we can adjust at will, is offensively simplistic.

And funding more climate meetings so that activists can jet around the world in fossil-fuel propelled aircraft to concoct plans to hobble the energy industry seems the epitome of foolishness.

Thankfully, and in no small part due to the exaggeration of climate alarmists and their predictions, climate skeptics are gaining the day.

You can only be told so many times that the sky is falling before shrugging your shoulders, smiling and wishing Chicken Little a nice day.

    The Nature Conservancy is no different then the rest of the Eco-Wacko Activists out there lying spreading false alarms fabricating the news and tampering with the data and the liberal news media who spreads this Malarkey to the public and the useful idiots who take part in Useful Idiots Climate Marches lead by Al Bore,Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Kennedy Jr who have yet to go live in a grass hut in the Amazon Rain Forests

    The Russians meddled in our 2016 election while the UN continues to meddle in our economy, our science and our legislative processes in an undisguised attempt to install global government—with them in control. The propaganda and outright fraud is a communist tactic that has the support of many members of our bureaucracy —a very sad commentary.
