UN Security Council hears of climate threat, does nothing
Russia warns against any move to recognize warming as a threat to global security.

When it comes to climate change, bombs don’t work, so the United Nations Security Council prefers words to action.
Tuesday saw the highest profile discussion of climate change in the U.N.’s central body for promoting global peace. But Russia, which holds a veto as a permanent member of the Council, warned against any move to recognize warming as a threat to global security.
Moscow’s stance left the Security Council’s U.K. presidency stabbing at a broken panic button.
“It is absolutely clear that climate change is a threat to our collective security and the security of our nations,” said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who presided over the meeting.
Not the first such fight, but different actors this time.
In 2020, the U.S. under then President Donald Trump blocked a German effort to draft a sweeping Security Council resolution naming climate change as a threat to global security. Last week, the U.S. officially rejoined the Paris Agreement and on Monday, climate envoy John Kerry said “the climate crisis is indisputably a Security Council issue.”
The Russians were firm.
“The climate threat is so massive, so multifaceted,” said Kerry, “we bury our heads in the sand at our own peril.”
But Russia’s representative to the U.N. Vasily Nebenzya said the Council should not take on the work of other U.N. agencies that specialize in climate, “where this is dealt with by professionals.”
India was even more forceful.
More aggressive pushback came from India’s Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar. He said there was no “accepted methodology” to show climate change was a cause of conflicts.
Boris and others got their weekly credits for attendance. Can we get back to real work now?
When do the gender training classes start?
What is it with this guy …. a conservative faking being a fake-socialist? Well we have one over here too – Mitt Romney, only this one’s always the bridesmaid, thank God.
Tell me who you sleep with and I will tell what you are.

My Teddy Bear named Sprocket.
Aw! Cute!
Romney has never been a conservative.
True, a fake conservative, faking being a fake-socialist. Some weird genes, I guess.
Correct MarkW. But, Romney is so jealous and so vindictive that he is consumed with hate for Pres. Trump. Mitt Romney cannot get it through his head that Pres. Trump is a better man in all aspects than he is which turns him into a vindictive and illogical person so focused on hate and jealousy for Trump that he is ruining his credibility, his decency, and his life. He is to be pitied and prayed for, but never listened to on anything.
He in’t a conservative, he is a Tory, worse than that he is a progressive Tory.
There are very few Conservatives in the Tory party, or put another way there are alot of Tories in the conservative party.
Most in parliament are uni-party and it doesn’t matter what colour tie they wear they are just puppets of the permanent establishment you only have to look at the Brexit debacle to see how many of the permanent establishments pawns were sacrificed there in a monumental effort by all uni-party members to thwart that, and just how many lost their seats because of their betrayal of their constituents.
Ofcourse they will be justly rewarded by their handlers with cushie new jobs etc for their betrayals and being seen as the roaches they are because they were forced out into the light on the issue.
Isnt it obvious by now that most countries are 2 party countries and that both parties are just 2 cheeks of the same azzhole.
For permanent establishment see, globalist or deep state or elites.
The BBC represents the permanent establishment, that is why rightwinger believe they are leftwing and the left wing believe they are right wing, they are neither, they are the propaganda wing of the establishment and it is the same in mot other countries that have publicly funded tv.
And it will take riots from the public before the permanent state allow politicians to defund them they are such a powerful social engineering tool, it is how they get away with the rest of their nonsense based critical theory marxist promoting BS.
Thanks for taking the time. This has been a fun start to Friday over here in Libtard Central. I’d better at least try to get some work done ……
ROFLOL If the “two cheeks…” line isn’t your copyright, I think I’ll adopt it permanently.
It originates with a renegade politician – George Galloway.
Originally to describe two labour politicians and then finally all political parties (except his)
Boris is compelled to do this. The UK has sunk so much into Climate Change that the UK’s economy won’t be competitive unless all other economies do likewise.
And notice China’s absence. But all it takes is one veto in the UNSC to scupper a a resolution. My guess is Russia and India took the hit here as China will do the heavy lifting gumming up the Glasgow Conference. Thus, between all three, they will two step John Kerry and the rest.
The US is going full throttle for global governance (NWO, GR, etc), but that isn’t going to happen. The US has increasingly less and less to offer: toxic national culture, censorship, cancel culture, dubious elections and worthless paper money, etc.
Good
Here in the UK there is a massive subliminal propaganda campaign for climate change, electric cars, the hydrogen economy and renewable energy going on. Every advertising agency is using it to sell product and reinforce the meme…they have dragged Attenborough out of a coffin in daylight fer chrissakes and he has pronounced, and the PM’s ‘consort’, “Princess NutNutz” a.k.a Carrie Symonds, whilst a nice posh looking bird, has only the left over brain they never fitted to Princess Diana. Unsurprisingly she has a degree in History of Art, and Theater Studies (and they don’t come thicker than that where science is concerned)
Boris has enough on his hands fighting the EU, he can’t fight his hugbunny* as well.
So the myth will continue.
Meanwhile Rolls Royce, in trouble over the total lack of flying hours being put on its jet engines, is heading up a consortium to mass produce small passive cooled reactors at sensible prices leveraging their experience in nuclear submarines, total quality manufacturing, control system design and power generation.
The disconnect between what is happening and what the public are being told has never been greater in the field of climate alarmism.
Meanwhile Brexit and Covid 19 continue to be more or less success stories for Boris. Ex of Israel the UK is now the most vaccinated country in the world, I think, and (to forestall inevitable metaphysical** hypotheses) for whatever reason the case and death rate and hospitalisation are falling fast.
Remember alway the media portray what someone has paid them to show you, not always – if ever – what is actually happening.
These international drink-ups are a wonderful chance to enjoy some climate based bestiality and signal more virtue than the Virgin Mary, but really the optimal reaction is one derived from a UK sitcom
*:s/hu/sha/
** a metaphysical hypothesis is one that cannot be refuted by facts, like ‘God did it’ or ‘Climate change did it’ or ‘vaccines/lockdowns/facemasks/social distancings do/dont work….natural immunity will stop the pandemic…’ In reality all of these things are being implemented hard in the hope that at least one of them will work, but we will almost certainly never know which ones did..
nice post +1
Boris is not a leader, he is a follower, hence his frequent statement ‘im’ sure the public will agree with me…
Farage is a leader, and doesn’t give a toss whether the public agree with him or not, people need led not mollycoddled and leaders need to lead.
Trump is the same.
Russia and India are right. Boris and Kerry are wrong to a ridiculous degree. I doubt that either one has the slightest idea as to the actual size of the yearly human contribution of CO2 into the atmosphere.
I think he is in love 🙂
The guys at the British satire “Spitting Image” portray Boris Johnson as a slobbering idiot whose mind is controlled by some alien posing as an adviser. Lol! Unfortunately, Boris says or does nothing to dispel that image, just judging by what he said at the UN Security Council.
When Putin and his henchmen are the adults in the room, you know the world is in serious trouble, and NOT from climate change.
A fake conservative…that’s all
You mean reeducation camps?
From the Great Leap to one-child to selective-child and concentration camps in China. To our discredit, their Western ideological counterparts play semantic games, indulge conceptual corruption, and conflate logical domains to establish concentration… reeducation camps: schools, corporations, agencies, modern programming, etc. in plain sight. It’s a neat trick that’s still a viable, even lucrative, choice.
Before, during, and after they deny, confuse, and corrupt sex: male and female and sex-correlated gender (i.e. physical and mental attributes): masculine and feminine, respectively.
Boris had just one good idea, get the poms out of the EU. Apparently that exhausted his common sense, & it is time for him to retire.
Good, there is still some sanity among the world governing elite.
Clinical psychotic delusion is the consensus.
We are now depending on the Russians to save us from the CCP, and Griff
I can certainly save you from the Chinese Communist Party…
Just see my agent for my schedule of fees.
Another post another dollar earnt hey Griff.
Russians and Indians. That said, here’s to our progress: one step forward, two steps backward.
It a weird world when we have Russia as the least crazy nation in the world.
Note the factual wording of Russian and Indian reps versus Boris Johnson’s waffle
**More aggressive pushback came from India’s Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar. He said there was no “accepted methodology” to show climate change was a cause of conflicts.**
He could take one more step and ask for proof it is caused by CO2.
Gerald: And someone at the Security Council Needs to Man-up and ask for empirical evidence of the claimed connection between AGW and Global Security. The Left seems to be getting mighty cheeky these days in expected everyone to accept their word on questions of science.
I’d be happy with even a half step – even if temps will increase 2 or even 3 degrees C in 80-100 yrs, how is that a climate emergency? Are we going to go to war over less snow to shovel? If we all have a nice dark tan from getting out more in the sunshine because of milder weather, won’t there be less racism and happier temperaments?
Russia and India wisely pushing back against the climate change scam, while America goes stupid again.
This an example of a case where it would be possible to “fix stupid”. Hopefully the Reps take Congress back, next election.
Elections don’t matter any more. We’re in for a long dose of stupid under the CCP. How long did the Ottoman Empire last?
Yeah, I’m afraid that’s true — to think otherwise is naive. The deep-state marxists are continuing right now solidifiying the corruption/alterations of the US voting system to guarantee their winning future elections.
Five centuries
And of course, with the media pushing for fairness and all of the US courts taking up cases of blatant voter fraud, we can be sure of free and fair elections in future.
The Left, so focused on the presidential election, let the congressional races slide.
Will they make that same mistake, next election?
“next election”
BWUAHAHAHAHA! You mean next ‘selection’?
Fraud has been the status quo in the U.S. for decades.Reagan and Trump were flukes, an accident, never supposed to happen.
LOL at your ‘vote’.
”full stupid” again.
Good
Russia clearly profits from warming.
India will never mention neither warming nor cooling.
It is a tropic land with a rather constnant climate.
So the colder climates profit and tropics are whatever. This kind of leads to
A) Everything inbetween cold and tropics will be some sort of circular region of hellfire around the globe?
or
B) Or does everything inbetween profit less the closer you are to the equator?
Yeah, you’d think Canada would be smart enough to see that the worst of the feared global warming would be a good thing – potentially making vast swaths of uninhabitable frozen tundra prime farming/living areas that the world HAD to migrate to as ‘climate refugees’.
But Trudeau is a full simp.
“Think of the Polar Bears!”
But you’re assuming Trudeau and ilk aren’t misanthropes.
Which climates across India are you talking about Alex.
There are several.
Shhh, the temperature in mommy’s basement is always the same, don’t frighten the poor thing, he’ll get nighmares about being chased by kangaroos in Austria…
Russia sells fossil fuels.
Because people need them
Yes ofcourse they do son, selling all those air conditioning units, oh wait a minute its gas they sell for heating, but cold is warm black is the new white war is peace male is female and female is male etc etc etc in your clown world isn’t it son,the brave new progressive post modern world where we all believe the opposite of reality in nearly everything we see and hear.
what warming ??? there is no “warming” for Russia to profit from …
Alex, the WHOLE WORLD PROFITS from global warming.
Sorry you’re getting down voted, maybe people are misunderstanding what you’re saying or your intent. But you’re completely right: we’ve all been told by the climate Nazis that the ‘climate emergency’ will be worse at the poles than average. Of course how can warmer in Canada, Scandinavia and Russia be ‘worse’?
Russia is coming out of one of the coldest and snowiest winters in quite some time and even India had some brutally cold days this winter. Climate Alarmism is still all about global warming or has it changed to global cooling yet? I’m having trouble reconciling the facts with the forecasts.
Still, February was one of the hottest months in the record, and 2021 is fastly moving to be the year that climate disasters will upend us all.
/s
… so the alarmists say…
So the alarmists have been saying for decades.
Pauleta: the UK is a temperate oceanic climate as defined by the Koppen classification, and remains so. Take a look at the data link to the UK’s Met Office which spans around a 100 years or so:
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/uk-temperature-rainfall-and-sunshine-time-series
Where is the dangerous warming? Notice how the data points spike up and down over the years, and much how the temperature ranges differ even in a small land mass such as the UK.
Yet we are bombarded relentlessly with doom-mongering drivel from the likes of Greta Thunberg, David Attenborough, the BBC and now Boris Johnson.
Take a look at Dr Roy Spencer’s website and look at his satellite temperature data. Fraction of a degree variations over the years, and yet the Western world’s leaders see fit to wast unimaginably huge sums of money on an imagined bogeyman.
Good lord it’s funny when Boomers use the net.
Not one person replying caught the /s
Have an updoot Pauleta
Pauleta – re February being the “hottest month”: It was Joseph Stalin who said that “it’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”. In this case, it’s the people who declare what the temperature is.
Never thought the day would come when I agree with Putin.
If Biden and Johnson get their way, we will be in some form of perpetual lock down under the guise of protecting the environment which is the mantra of totalitarians. Insane.
This country isn’t actually free. It’s time to admit it. It used to be.
Very bizarre times when Russia (with veto power) and India are the sane voices of reason in the house.
Someone is sure to blame Trump for Russian collusion in this.
That’s because these countries can’t afford the self indulgent and self induced climate change hysteria of the western world
Sad state of affairs when we need India and Russia to protect us from our totalitarian government, but that’s progressive progress.
Well, well, we have an interesting collision course developing. China-Biden-Kerry against Russia and India. Of course, China doesn’t actually want an actual carbon-neutral scenario, they just want to lie and get the United States to cripple their economy. This conflict is at least worth two beers and some chips and dip. Wait for it.
China is an independent player. It does not ally but with itself. Thus, it’s Biden alone. Either he will put EU under his arm or he will crush EU between USA and Russia, but he has no power nor strength to do any of the two. This is what I think as an European, spectator of the several packs of carnivores that nowadays make up the USA Democratic Party.
Biden is a puppet trying to memorize his lines. It’s the puppet master you need to worry about.
Perhaps I’m ill informed… what is the alpha male of today’s alpha pack of the democrats? AOC?
Lawfare.

They own 1/3 of the world’s investment capital. And very few have a damn clue about it.
Ron,
My guess is that India, Russia and China are playing a shell game on John Kerry. India and Russia took the hit in the UNSC, so China will reciprocate in the Glasgow Conference. The idea is just to try slow walk / obfuscate everything (making the target harder to discern), thus, giving the West more time to cripple their economies. They are not stupid enough to walk into a global governance scenario controlled by American corporations, Intelligence Community and lunatic authoritarian leftists.
I have long said that the Wests one government world plans would only eventually lead to conflicted failure when the Statists decide who is to actually be in charge.
They earn points with carbon offsets, perhaps a donation to World Walrus Foundation (hint!), because [catastrophic] [anthropogenic] climate cooling… warming… change doesn’t matter, not really, not even to the devout.
Congratulations, India. For stating the obvious. No “accepted methodology to show climate change was a cause of conflicts.”
China knows a thing or two about conflicts past and present and they are not about climate!
The climate has had a profound effect on history.
As far as I can tell, a warmer climate usually leads to peace and prosperity, and a colder climate leads to famine, pestilence, and war.
The only possible methodology is common sense. And common sense has not come up with evidence. There is no evidence of climate change causing conflicts. Population growth does but thta is just common sense.
Specifically advocacy for [catastrophic] [anthropogenic] immigration reform in lieu of emigration reform, and other first-order forcings, including: wars without borders, transnational terrorism, coups with cause, labor and environmental arbitrage, and social justice adventurism.
Maybe the UN Security Council can look into the ill effects on the world from mass leadership hysteria and NGO coercion. Planning for global warming when cyclical cooling is starting again cyclically is a humanitarian crisis.
I can’t wait for the US/Europe to impose sanctions on Russia, India, and less developed countries for Carbon sins; causing poverty, death and anger. Which Putin and Co won’t take lightly. Maybe climate change DOES cause conflict, lol. Conflict between idiot believers trying to control everyone and those who actually understand the uncertainty in the science and models.
Meanwhile China laughs its way to totalitarian world dominance.
“causing poverty, death and anger.”
Are you sure this won’t happen in the west, not the east?
America manufactures nothing anymore, so witholding goods won’t work. They mine very little other than oil and fertiliser, which others have more of. The only stick the Yanks have left, is their hold on the financial system, including SWIFT. Enter BRICS, with their own version, so yeah, sanctions will sure hunger out the poor working sods in Yammerika.
How about a UN sponsored video on the thousands of coal power plants in China and all the jobs in the coal fields of India? The team from WHO can do the video since they can’t really investigate anything else in the country.
” Last week, the U.S. officially rejoined the Paris Agreement ”
No . The Senate has not voted on it .
Treaties require Senate approval . Puppet Biden can’t do it by himself .
As bad as Obama
Climate robocalls have reach the UN Security Council–hang up.
John Kerry, show your commitment to the cause. Go sell your program in China and don’t forget your covid test.
There’s no room for the swab, his head is in the way.
When some of the biggest players don’t join the scam do you up the propaganda and increase the shaming? I’m still waiting for China to be called out as the biggest holdout of CO2 producers. They can’t go on hiding behind “developing country” status much longer and all their wind and solar installations can’t counteract their CO2 increases.
If we just gave China carbon offset credit for spreading a global pandemic and reduced global GDP and transport spending, we could declare the Paris Agreement a success and go home.
John Kerry could accept the award for China on their behalf.
Oh dear if that’s what he really said, then Carrie has done her job. My reading of history is that the greatest destruction is caused by people with toxic ideas and the power to implement them. These are usually governments but now we also have the hyper wealthy.
Come on – she has a degree in thearter studdis and art histry!
Thes nuthin about ClimbitSeance she dusnt no. She is greater than Greta.
Ah, ballast. I suppose we should support Russia and India to mitigate the progress of capsizing our ship of state. Perhaps a change of staff on the bridge would help, too.
They need less diversity in thinking within the U.N. How dare anyone disagree with climate activism.
It makes you wonder what the diplomatic payoff strategy will be in between the UN security council meetings–living wage for all Indians and the Russian military perhaps. Stimulus checks paid by the U.S. Treasury?
Where is the GoFundMe site to ween Boris off the climate check boxes?
So, there is some sanity at the security council
Too bad the US is so insane
Yes, too bad it’s on the wrong side.
But Xie supported the core sentiment raised by Johnson, Kerry and others, leaving Russia isolated among the five permanent members of the Council. “Climate change has become a pressing and serious threat to the survival, development and security of humankind,” Xie said.
What a hypocrite! For a few solar panel dollars/euros more….he build dozens of coal power plants extra. Why doesn’t this fake Greeny gets called out?
Makes you wonder…is “climate change” from the same mental giants who are now bringing us “gender reclassification”? After all, as the world becomes more equalitarian, the bell curve for human intelligence remains the same…and that means that more that 3 billion people have IQ’s under 100. And many of them are congregating in our universities!
