U.N. Sec'y-General Guterres says Endure Pain of High Gas Prices For The Good of The Planet
2022-03-22
[Breitbart] The pain of soaring gas prices must be endured because any wider embrace of fossil fuels as an alternative is “madness” and threatens global climate targets, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautioned Monday.

If countries “become so consumed by the immediate fossil fuel supply gap that they neglect or knee-cap policies to cut fossil fuel use” a climate disaster is the guaranteed outcome, Guterres said in a pre-recorded address to the Economist Sustainability Summit.

#13  I think when the dust settles, if the west survives, the UN might just need to go. League of Nations was disbanded because if failed to stop war, well UN hasn't exactly done a bang-up job on that front either.

#12  I think Guterres fits that description by CS Lewis perfectly.

#10  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

#8  I will believe global warming climate change is an actual danger when people like SecGen Antonio give up their air-conditioned cars and travel through the streets of New York on a moped. Until then, climate change is simply the biggest scientific fraud since the Piltdown Man.

#3  Our interests must be harmed so that their interests can go forward.

They won't feel a bit of pain, but boy they sure enjoy inflicting it on us. Say, what's the word for this again?
