U.N. Secretary: Rise of Nationalism Threatens Fight Against Climate Change
2018-11-30
[Breitbart] United Nations (U.N.) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Thursday that the trend in favor of nationalist policies around the world is making it harder to promote a global approach to fighting climate change.

"I think that it is clear to me that the world is more polarized. We have more and more nationalist approaches being popular and winning election or having strong election results," Guterres said. "We see the trust between public opinions and institutions ‐ governments, political establishments but also International organization ... being eroded."

The BBC journalist who interviewed Guterres pressed him on President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement.

"Is it a problem that the world’s most powerful man is a climate change skeptic?" BBC’s New York correspondent Nick Bryant asked Guterres.

Guterres did not criticize Trump but instead said it is more important that the fight against so-called manmade climate change should be a grassroots effort.

#16  Climate change is a fraud intended to promote globalism. Therefore saying that National is a threat to the fight against Climate Change is code for saying that Nationalism is a threat to globalism.

Good.

#15  "harder to promote a global approach to fighting climate change"

#14  Globalism is a synonym for rent-seeker.

#13  In simpler language: locals want to control their own lives instead of letting assholes at the UN do it.

#12  

I have great respect for Dr. Judith Curry a climatologist and her research.
She identifies how a lot of the research monies go to the 'dominate theme of human cause climate change' which is where all the research and focus is being directed and far too little funding and effort goes into 'understanding natural climate variability'.
With her research she believes we can't tell how much of the recent warming is caused by humans.
She has left the college atmosphere and feels she can have a greater impact in the private sector, as she was vilified by colleagues by not following along in lock step with the majority. Colleges sadly are no longer the open debate, unfettered research and freedom of investigation institutions they once were, then add how the media glosses over the details.
Curry said she would like to see a greater focus on the uncertainties of climate science and a better exploration of them through scientific debate free of politics.

#11  I sincerely hope that nationalism threatens the flow of money to the U.N. Signing on to their agendas threatens the sovereignty of the U.S. F*&kwit globalist thieves. Don't they have enough of our money?

#9  But that's the point, BS and no consequences , anyone 's opinion is equal.

In ancient times, they used to stone false prophets.
Just saying.

#6  The weather was a frequent topic. Not unlike the 'spit and whittle' bench sitters, the weather has changed.

#5  One can always talk about the weather. Its a easy subject to entertain if there is a conversation and a lot of time to kill while you wait with strangers for the bus. Easy opinions and it passes the time.
BS and OPINIONS are valid. Nothing of any consequences, of course.
But that's the point, BS and no consequences , anyone 's opinion is equal. You will naturally avoid Al Gore, he makes money off your BS and his bank account. And anyone who makes money or political advantage off "climate change" is taking you for a fool and is working his fly down while he maneuvers in behind you. I suggest you avoid these people. They may be Liberals or French. You can ask them their opinion on the efficacy of.KY Jelly.

Let them do all the talking after that.

#4  I have been here forever and I have seen what causes what.

"A brief history of climate panic and crisis… both warming and cooling
For at least 114 120 years, climate “scientists” have been claiming that the climate was going to kill us…but they have kept switching whether it was a coming ice age, or global warming.

#2  By the way, kids... Why do you buy and pay for this? Because al gore or tom steyer told you to?

They pull a theory out of their asses and the whole world follows them over a theory?

Do you know how pissed off this makes me?
Posted by: newc   2018-11-30 02:45  

#1  You mean the theory that is considered an"always imminent threat" in the communist manifesto.

Now as you know, I hate anything from those shitheads who never worked a day in their lives and it has failed the world horribly.

Can we stop pretending this is a way to run things yet?
