UN: Worldwide Disaster Wiping Nations Off Earth in 10 Years if Climate Change Not Addressed

June 29, 1989.

A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of “eco- refugees,” threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked

I'm sure more action will be taken in the next ten years, but the odds that it will be enough are infinitesimal.

So did nations get wiped out by climate 19 years ago?

Yes! They are all gone!

And what happened 19 years ago?

This is what they said ten years ago.

Excuse Me, I'll just be over here in the corner laughing uproariously.

Hell. The UN has been trying for decades to wipe Israel off the map.

Nothing.

Yet another climate hoax busted by the fabric of time.

There appear to be some severe reading comprehension problems at work. The article didn't claim that the islands would be inundated within ten years. It claimed that ten years time would decide whether or not some islands would be inundated some time later, in case the warming trend is not being reversed.

The warming trend hasn't been reversed. Here is what's happening and going to happen, as predicted:

The military paid for a study on sea level rise. The results were scary.

More than a thousand low-lying tropical islands risk becoming “uninhabitable” by the middle of the century — or possibly sooner — because of rising sea levels, upending the populations of some island nations and endangering key U.S. military assets, according to new research published Wednesday.

[...]

Droxler said the study reminded him of Maldives, where he has worked and which faces a situation similar to that of the Marshall Islands. “The maximum elevation is 2.4 meters, and there are more than 140,000 people living in two square miles,” he said of the capital island of Male.

“It is kind of the ultimate example of the destiny of these tropical islands, which are so low in elevation,” Droxler said.

And each passing year, as seas continue to rise and the nations and the world wrestle with how to cut carbon dioxide emissions, thousands of islands grow closer to a reckoning.​

Yes, you do have a reading comprehension problem, you’re confusing the lies.

“The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown.”

That was 30 years ago. Oops.

And as far as rising oceans, Obama bought a mansion on the beach, he knows it’s bullshit too.

Well, I DO agree that the U.N. is a world wide disaster.

Well duh....if the US disappeared from the earth tomorrow, by 2100 the temps would drop just 0.1 degree. And have you ever heard of a place called China? Most climate crusaders are apparently unaware it exists!

So stop worrying so much s0n....if the UN is correct, there isnt dick either you or me or anybody else can do.

But to be honest, I think the UN is full of shit. Check any of their training manuals that are online in pdf format. It's very clear to anybody with half a brain what their goals are!

You know what this thread shows us?

That there are those in the world who pivot to hysteria at the drop of a hat. You know the type.

Thankfully.....most people are even keeled and laugh when they see these bomb lobbing efforts!

 

[Crick]

You know what that post shows us?

That there are people that will naysay valid warnings even when the welfare of millions of people are at stake.

Thankfully, more people respect mainstream science and realize that real threats require real responses than poo-poo dangerous reality. Hundreds of thousands of school kids from all over the planet got it right yesterday.

Fake news s0n.....

Your "reality" is a sentiment embraced by relatively few in the public. Again....symbolism, banners and posters are irrelevant in the real world. Progressives have been taking proud bows in front of them for decades......still zero climate action to speak of. Because most people dont care ( operative term being "most").

If you think the world has taken no climate action you're simply deluding yourself. Do you think people are paying a premium for hybrid and electric cars on a whim? Do you think the world's auto manufacturers are moving away from ICE's as quick as they can because their children told them to? Do you think we've replaced more than 25% of the world's power generation capacity with renewable technology just for fun?

You have been a self-deluded fool since the first time I read one of your posts and in all that time you haven't learned

25%?

s0n....most of the 25% will be hydro and other renewables and NOT solar and wind which will still be below 15% by 2050 according to the EIA. That's a joke in terms of progress and coal/gas will still dOmInAtE!

Total BS on EV's too....nobody is buying them. 1% growth over the last 5 years.

Of course you never learned a thing....you're a science dweeb who cant think on the margin. If it's not black and white, cant navigate concepts. That's why you still dont understand what an operational definition is! Fucking YiKeS!

Hydroelectricity is a renewable dimwit.
