You obviously have not the faintest idea what the UN is, how it's organised, what the different parts of it are, or what it does. Your poorly spell rant is typical of CT-ers; fractally wrong.
(I'm sure insulting my spelling make you feel good but I have only one eye and struggle to see what I type so kudus to you for insulting a disabled person like the big man you are, still doesn't detract from the facts)I'm not a CTer? So the UN is working well in reducing Global warming, when it's member is the biggest polluters in the world and we only have days left to change? Sorry not sure I understand how this all works?

Still ably demonstrating you have no idea how will the UN is organised. Hint; the Permanent Members of the Security Council and the General Assembly are different things. Further hint; membership of the Security Council has nothing to do with how rich the country is.Most CTers are perfect demonstrations of Dunning Kruger syndrome and you are no exception

Your last sentence I can certainly agree with!I'm not a CTer? So the UN is working well in reducing Global warming, when it's member is the biggest polluters in the world and we only have days left to change? Sorry not sure I understand how this all works?
The UN has decided that climate change is an important issue, but contrary to what a lot of ignorant people believe, the UN really has little power over sovereign nations - it can attempt persuasion, but can't force anything.
And since the UN's members are every nation, of course the biggest polluters are members. As are the least polluting nations.

Playing the disabled card with me doesn't work because I'm disabled too. Indeed I'm "typing" this using a speech-to-text system and yet my postings are mostly correctly spelled. And I've had a boss in the past who was legally blind, and yet his emails and so on were correctly spelled, too. Hint; use a bigger font.I'm not a CTer?

Still at least your final sentence is correct; you don't understand how this works, yet you somehow think you can speak authoritatively about it.

The scientific consensus is that cold is a much bigger killer than heat. Some papers report 7 times as deadly, some 20 times. This is not in any way controversial.
What is also not controversial is the increased global temp has reduced overall temperature related mortality.
You can’t possibly be this stupid.What is also not controversial is the increased global temp has reduced overall temperature related mortality.
It's peer reviewed. The UN published a little something about it yesterday. Or do you not trust science?

Shush. Don't confuse him with facts.And I have no impairment to blame, just shoddy typing on a mobile + piss-poor proofreading.

Oops. You only need one space after a comma as well. But the irony of your incorrect markup is amusing.

The UN recommends a transition away from fossil fuels & nuclear towards wind and solar. Simple statistics has shown that such a transition has increased the cost of energy. Increased cost of energy has increased the misery and suffering of those who can least afford it.
So you clearly don't believe any other negatives will come from increased temperatures, like sea level rise, crop failures, water shortage, etc.You're just focussed on the effects today, and screw the future - I assume you don't have children?
The problem many of us have with 'the future' is the highly questionable record of forecasters. This is particularly true when you're older and have seen numerous lurid predictions fail to occur. I think there's a fable that covers it. amongst other things, we should by now be at the dawn of a new Ice Age, have been incinerated by the sun's rays through the ozone layer, have run out of oil and seen our plants and property dissolved by acid rain. I think polar bears are forecast to roam Hampstead Heath before long but you'll understand why I have my doubts.

Have you considered actually answering the point? Perhaps go and find out what the UN is? (A favourite blind spot for CT-ers).

You're being a bit overly dramatic but head in the sand doesn't work. Some people do, some just want others to do it for them. I'm pretty sure nobody with two braincells to rub together has predicted polar bears roaming Hampstead. But straw men arguments are common.

I assume you're a tabloid reader, as they love to sensationalise everything.
Ice age? I've seen plenty of people claiming that b
ks, but it's based on one US paper's scare story. Point to a reputable claim that it was coming.Acid rain? A real problem until they enacted rules to limit emissions from power plants.
Ozone layer? A real problem until they banned CFC's
Do you see a pattern here?

fk off with that st.It's a bit rich that I should be accused of abuse - which is really quite ridiculous - in a thread which is characterised by a small group of people who regularly throw insults at anyone that disagrees with their version of events. You aren't helping to contribute to an adult debate with your use of language. People like Kawasicki, PP and myself haven't insulted anyone or resorted to foul and abusive language anywhere in this thread that I have seen or can recall.
I've made my point about glass houses now so hopefully we can return to the central debate.

Some things can be prevented of course. Some are way beyond our ability. An example being the cyclical climate changes that have occurred throughout history.I hope you know that.

You obviously don't understand hyperbole but then that's not surprising if you swallow the popular narrative on global warming, MMGW and its latest iteration, climate change.
I seem to remember the clock started ticking a few years back and we were approaching the point of no return. Are we there yet?Apparently we are. We are at 'final warning' stage!
