According to Al Jazeera, in a speech in New Zealand the UN Secretary General scolded the entire world for not doing enough about climate change.
UN chief: Climate change ‘running faster than we are’
Countries failing to live up to commitments under the 2016 Paris agreement to keep global temperature rise at bay.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the political will to fight climate change has faded at the same time as it is getting worse for those feeling its effects.
Guterres made the comments after arriving in New Zealand on Sunday where addressed the media alongside Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in Auckland. Guterres plans to spend three days there as part of a trip to the South Pacific to highlight climate change’s global threat.
“Climate change is running faster than what we are … The last four years have been the hottest registered,” Guterres said.
Countries are not living up to their commitments under the 2016 Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature rise to below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, he said.
“We are not on track to achieve the objectives defined in the Paris Agreement, and the paradox is that as things are getting worse on the ground, political will seems to be fading,” he added.

No doubt UN Secretary General Guterres used an ecologically friendly means to travel to New Zealand to deliver his speech.

In that November 4, 2016 Al Jezeera article, the reporter/writer states:
“Most of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases, including India, China, the United States and the European Union, have ratified the agreement.”
“But because Washington has already ratified it and it comes into force before the November 8 election…”
That’s Fake news of course. It was never ratified in the US Senate. It was only agreed to by the Worst US President-Ever.
To quote his colleague: “This has nothing to do with climate.” Dumb or corrupt?
Yes.
With and, both.
I’ll quit fighting warmists and join them if:
* They can show data that weather events are statistically getting more severe/frequent.
* Describe how the warming from 1910 to 1940 was natural and an identical warming from 1970 to 2000 was primarily from CO2.
* Explain the lack of tropical mid troposphere warming THAT IS THE SIGNATURE OF the HYDROLOGICAL AMPLIFICATION OF CO2 warming
* Make one prediction that comes true.
* Explain the pause without searching frantically for data for 15 years to find new but still unsubstantiated satellite data (which, by the way still shows no mid troposphere warming).
* Explain how CO2 creates the stepwise temperature jumps THAT ALSO OCCURRED BEFORE CO2 forcing was high enough.
“Climate change is running faster than what we are” – more likely the political rhetoric is running much, much faster than the scientific evidence demonstrates
More Red Queen BS. Leftists learn something trivial and then they see it everywhere they look.
Well, he doesn’t really know that, does he? All he knows is that they aren’t taking the political actions he wants.
Be that as it may, he also knows, when he is being honest (which is probably not as often as it should be), that any political will was originally just born of hopes and promises of large amounts of free cash for those voting for yet another UN boondoggle. It is his job to always campaign for more money and more power. Both more and sooner. That is all.
They lost their major funding thanks to President Trump, who deserves full credit for derailing this eco-fascist nightmare. And we desperately need election reform ASAP.
Fading political will or regression toward the mean?
Politicians lose their will when the voters do, politicians will do anything for votes if the tide turns.
The NZ Vegan Society just called for a Climate State of Emergency, following Ireland, or Guterres?
I’d watch the Pacific Rim of Fire!
Imho Donald J. Trump deserves full credit for derailing this eco-fascist nightmare. So the demonrats intend to steal the WH in 2020 under media cover and we need election reform ASAP – federalized with Voter ID, paper ballots and vetted counters. Nothing less!
President Trump has derailed this eco-fascist nightmare – no doubt the #1 cause of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The UN should stick to their original job, keeping people from killing each other.
All the rest is none of their business.
Heck, they couldn’t even manage their original job.
Stupidity pointing out “4 of the last 10 years are the hottest….”.
Duh…temperatures have been rising for 100+ of the last 150-180 years…COMING OUT OF A DEVASTATING COLD PERIOD! There were 30-50 years when temperature trends were negative or zero (from cycles and noise). So in roughly 2/3 of the last 150 years you could say… “4 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record”.
Just more propaganda.
“UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the political will to fight hair loss has faded at the same time as it is getting worse for those feeling its effects.”
FIFY
Hair loss has meaning; ‘climate change’ doesn’t. Whenever you see ‘climate change,’ substitute “hair loss.”
‘Fighting climate change’ is equivalent to tilting at windmills.
Calling all money bags. It’s time to pay in again.
Political “will” worked best during the peak of diesel cheating.
The tide is turning all right.

For the greenhouse effect to perform as advertised the earth must be surrounded by a cold outer space, perhaps as low as 5 K. That explains how NOAA can claim that the naked earth would become a frozen ice ball at -430 F.
In fact, earth is surrounded by hot outer space, i.e. 394 K, 121 C, 250 F. That’s why the International Space Station includes an ammonia refrigerant cooling system.
The atmosphere does not warm the earth like a greenhouse but cools it like that reflective panel behind a car’s windshield.
No greenhouse effect, no greenhouse gases, no man caused climate change nor global warming.
A thirty-year illusion orchestrated by hustlers behind green velvet curtains.
Take that red pill of honest science and wake to reality.
“political will seems to be fading”
Says another pompous, arrogant, know nothing elitist! More UN propaganda!
No it hasn’t been fading …
The last few years of cooling temperatures has shown people an inkling of reality, the colder weather is freezing the political will to do more for it is seen as foolish, if not very stupid.
Electric cars, windfarms, and solar cells are useless under a meter of snow!
Everyone complains about the climate, but no one ever does anything about it.
I love to imagine a big hole in the ground waiting for all these UN tyrants, hypocrites, bureaucrats, parasites, pompous thieves.
I don’t understand this part of one of the sentences in the article:
Exactly who is being referred to by the phrase, “those feeling its effects”?
And if everybody is not feeling its effects, then why? Why is just a select group of “those” feeling its effects? How is it that the world, as a whole, is undergoing this catastrophic climate change brought on by less than a couple degrees, figured for the WHOLE WORLD, and only a select “those” are feeling the effects NOW, at this particular time?
I sense that there is conflation of observations going on here –maybe people experiencing the particular disasters of the day (which are no more intense than usual) are being parasitized as the “those” being referred to.
Hello Robert,.. My take on this is that your “spider sense” has detected a hidden form of deception and that the BS alarm that you were born with has activated. Many here on this site have very good senses when it comes to someone trying to deceive them or when errors have been made. It is apparent to me that you have that skill too.
Personally I think that you are on to something even bigger. What I have learned to do is see the workings of psychological projection when it shows it’s wares. For example what I see is that Guterres is actually projecting the truth about what HE and his like are feeling, namely that THEY are feeling the effects of having the curtain pulled back on their criminal intentions and corruption.
So to look at this statement in another way,.. these con-artists are feeling the effects of their “tax-washing” and other methods of money laundering beginning to dry up. Once this catches on their criminal scheme becomes visible and that scares the daylights out of them.
I note that none of these UN dignitaries ever fly to Manitoba in February to make speeches about climate change…
Unfortunately, Canadians are such a timid lot, a majority of us seem to be willing to pay more to heat our homes for the supposed purpose of preventing it from getting warmer outside….
Real life chicken little story on full display… To bad the princes are in bed with the foxes…
“No doubt UN Secretary General Guterres uses an ecologically friendly “means to travel to New Zealand to deliver his speech.”

what a dilemma – urgent tasks to fulfill, no time for consideration of “ecologically friendly” solutions!
