In a year of cataclysm, some world leaders at this week’s annual United Nations meeting are taking the long view. They are warning: If COVID-19 doesn’t kill us, climate change will.

“In another 75 years, many ... members may no longer hold seats at the United Nations if the world continues on its present course,” the Alliance of Small Island States and the Least Developed Countries Group said. “The momentary drop in emissions this year cannot be allowed to generate any complacency about global progress,” he said, referring to the sparkling skies that followed lockdowns to slow the spread of the virus around the world. Pollution has crept back up as restrictions ease.

But the prime minister quickly shattered any dreams. While Tuvalu is free of the coronavirus, the pandemic struck as the island nation was recovering from a pair of tropical cyclones — storms that scientists say are likely to become wetter as the planet warms. From the Marshall Islands, also free of COVID-19, President David Kabua used the virus’s example to plead for more help now.

Why can no one point to the science when asked what the leading cause of “climate deaths” will be? Drownings? Starvation? Thirst? What specific climate impact threatens to kill us all? It’s such a simple, yet dumbfounding and unanswerable question for alarmists.

FFS. Really. what complete and utter BS!

YES. BE SCARED. BE REALLY SCARED. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO TELL PEOPLE TO BE SCARED OF!! WHAT A JOKE YOU ARE!!!!

How long do we have to put up with this climate emergency charade?

Total bull hockey!

I guess we're fucked one way or another, so smoke em if you got em!

Climate change doesn’t bother me. I’m always cold anyway!

Perhaps humans are the virus

SmartZiohiroshi If an Ice Age were to accur right now, they would lose their minds about that too. They’d beg for global warming

what a joke

They should tell this to Trump and the GOP.

They misspelled liberalism. There isn't a c in that word.

Welp, the covid scam has been played out so looks like it is time to go back to climate change... Funny how nobody mentioned climate change for almost a year. These libs are so foolish. A bunch of bedwetters trying to scare gullible people.

When will people wake up to realize that climate change is a socialist movement? Nothing to do with climate. climatehustle2.

That is bullshit.

Two hoaxes

Always trying to pivot to another “emergency” isn’t leadership.

Not if an asteroid hits us first.

This is how stupid they sound.

Nope! It will be the people that burst their bubble...

Thank god

There isn't any doubt that the most stupid animal on earth is man. He's the only animal stupid enough to destroy his own environment and seriously consider he can simply keep increasing his numbers indefinitely and still survive. Sooner or later nature will schedule his demise.

100% of us will die from something

Absolutely preposterous! Fear is their tool of choice.

So true! Sept-Oct in my area should be cooler but, up to now, it’s hot like summer season.

Fear porn. The only cataclysm occurring is the sinister draconian government overreach occurring throughout the world.

I’d take a warmer planet over one covered in Glaciers. The Sun drives the climate as we notice every night and day . Not Co2 .

Heartening

🤦🏻‍♂️🤡dummies

Why the picture of a polar bear being a polar bear? I don’t know if you geniuses know this but ICE MELTS IN THE SUMMER!!!!!

Polar bears can swim, you fonies.

Two scams thoroughly exposed 🤡

Stop the bitching! Nobody is driving much. Nobody is flying much. According to your stats, we just gave the earth a good 10 year reprieve from pollution.

So the squealers are over the virus panic, it's back to climate bullshit. 65 million years ago a meteor hit the earth wiped out all life and turn earth into an arid landscape. Billions of tonnes of carbon and dust blocked out the sun, yet the atmosphere survived.

So tell China and India to stop dumping in the Ocean, tell China to have cleaner factories... O wait... they don't give or a fuck or care... But lets keep blaming 100% on America.

LORD, the polar bears again? They are doing better than ever......stop the lies.

It is a shame Trump not one of those leaders. Greater shame he abused UN & world humanity by using UN as his platform for his reelection campaign speech! God forsaken man!

Whether it's climate change or corona, the planet's owner will change.

Virus or economy or climate change.

If the UN were a narcissistic, self-important actor it would be giving a long speech at an awards ceremony about this and then thanking China and other Marxist leaders for helping them get to this point in their career.

If it doesn't kill either, people will find something new to kill. Because it has become the most dangerous being in the world.

Or a truck... Or a falling tree... Or falling off a cliff while taking a selfie... Fear mongers.

So, let me get this straight it from Global Cooling in the 70's to Global Warming in the 90's to Climate Change. I guess climate change is a disprovable argument because climate is always changing

😂😂😂blah, blah, blah😂😂😂

Correct

When will the UN start proposing to invade the worst polluters in the world, like China?

Nope, time will and 100%

Stop with the bullshit. Your fear peddling doesn't work anymore. You are without a voice and without reason. Just close down and bow your heads in shame.

Nonsense.

If we never question how much it will cost us to go to war with another country because we always find the money, then we shouldn't be questioning how much combating climate change is going to cost.

Like it or not, Covid-19 and its mutations will reduce 10% of the population within 10 years. Then global warming and climate change will be fixed.

Stop the fear porn. Stop the negativity. You are causing depression, anxiety and suicide by your political motivation to create doom and gloom in election cycle. Stop.

They are right!

When sea level rises, even today's deniers will say why nothing has been done to combat climate change

Basically they want to keep us in a state of fear and panic so that we give them all our money and our freedoms
