With The United Nations, Climate Doomsday Is Nigh—Again

earth disaster doom extinctionHuman beings, the wretches, continue to disappoint the savants at the United Nations, and never more than on climate change.

The global body announced last week that despite all of the world’s climate sacrifices and trillions of dollars in renewable spending, we’re all still doomed unless mankind makes radical changes in lifestyles and standards of living. [bold, links added]

The 2015 Paris climate agreement required countries to commit to reducing their emissions to keep the world from warming more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

It’s already warmed about 1.1 degrees. Not that the alms offered up by President Biden and European leaders will do much good.

According to the U.N. report, all climate policies currently in place will result in a warming of 2.8 degrees. Most countries haven’t implemented policies to meet their emissions targets.

But even if they did, temperatures would still rise by 2.6 degrees. And if Western countries meet their “net-zero” goals? The world would warm by 1.8 degrees.

Ponder that. Even if Europe and the U.S. banish fossil fuels from the electric grid, ban gas-powered vehicles, and find a way to capture CO2 from factories, the world still wouldn’t avoid the U.N.’s climate doomsday.

One reason is that China, which emits two-thirds more CO2 than Europe and the U.S. combined, has only committed to peaking its emissions by 2030.

Thus, the U.N. report says drastic changes in human behavior are needed. To take one example, about a third of emissions come from the global food system.

According to the report, about seven gigatons in CO2 reductions—roughly equal to those from today’s global natural gas production—by 2050 will need to come from people eating less meat.

The U.N. report suggests taxing foods based on their carbon emissions so that meat becomes so expensive people have no choice but to go vegan.

Don’t discount the possibility that the U.S. and European climate left will eventually embrace this idea. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recently announced that New Zealand farmers will soon pay a tax on their methane-emitting sheep and cow burps.

But even government-compelled diets won’t make a difference if China keeps building coal plants. This is one reason the $3.8 trillion of renewable investment over the last decade has resulted in fossil fuels declining only to 81% from 82% in energy consumption.

The U.N. now says more than $4 trillion must be spent annually to meet the Paris climate goals. Nice of them to be so free with other people’s money.

The climate lobby has spent more than 30 years preaching apocalypse to goad countries to purge fossil fuels. Most Western elites have joined the lobby.

But the publics around the world simply aren’t willing to make the sacrifices in standards of living that extreme climate advocates insist on.

Our sincere advice would be to drop the doomsday act, which people don’t believe, and focus instead on policies to adapt to a warmer planet and mitigate any damage if the worst happens.

It beats standing in the public square with a sign saying “the end is near.”

    If the earth warmed 1.7 beyond our current 1.1 to 2.8 degrees above pre-industrial levels it still won’t be possible to grow barley in Greenland or grapes in northern England. Yet, the barley and grapes were grown in the medieval warm period and roman warm period. It had to warmer then and disastrous climate conditions did not exist. The assumption is that carbon dioxide is the controlling factor. It isn’t. We have always been beyond the point of saturation as far as the ability of carbon dioxide to cause warming.

    From the article, “unless mankind makes radical changes in lifestyles and standards of living.” Reducing the quality of our lifestyles and standards has always been one of the primary goals of the climate change movement. Climate doomsday is just an excuse.

      Hi David – What you stated in the last 3 lines of your comment –
      IS THE CRUX of the Matter, IN A Nutshell! It is so Very Frustrating
      because As I always check out any/every article on Cl. Ch. I come across
      and I can see that there are others that understand that this is what is really
      happening. I sit here and see all the threads being woven to the public in
      such a manner that MANY people are going to be happy(they think) as they
      voluntary let UN Agenda 2030 be established Right in Front of their Face!
      But it does seem like by the time ENOUGH People gain the understanding of how much Freedom and self-autonomy that they have given up, they window will already be shut as far as We the People having a chance to prevent it.
      David, KEEP trying to get people to understand, as will I and every other one
      that has already understood where we are headed/being herded towards!
