The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) today, and it’s full of the same apocalyptic climate-change rhetoric that we’ve come to expect from that organization. The summary report for policymakers concludes that without drastic and immediate global action on so-called climate change, the world is in great danger from the fabricated scourge of global warming.
Thus far, only the “Summary for Policymakers” has been released, with the longer version still on the way.
The report claims that global warming, which it claims is indisputably caused by human emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, is already making weather more severe and will, eventually, lead to an uninhabitable world.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres, one of the climate cult’s leading voices, was full of apocalyptic imagery in a statement about the release of the document.
“Humanity is on thin ice – and that ice is melting fast,” Guterres said.
“As today’s report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) details, humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years,” Guterres stated.
“The climate time-bomb is ticking,” he warned.
“Continued greenhouse gas emissions will lead to increasing global warming, with the best estimate of reaching 1.5°C (2.7°F) in the near term in considered scenarios and modeled pathways,” the report claimed.
And, according to the new report, we’re nowhere near where we should be in terms of cutting those darn fossil-fuel emissions that are allegedly destroying the planet’s climate.
“Global emissions need to be reduced by nearly 43% by 2030 for the world to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goal,” said Simon Stiell, the UN’s climate-change executive secretary. “The Synthesis Report highlights just how far off-track we are.”
And, of course, it’s all mankind’s fault: “It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land,” the report states.
The report blatantly ignores the Medieval Warm Period, claiming that the alleged temperature rise over the last fifty years is the highest in 2,000 years.
The “climate crisis” is already here, some climate hysterics say.
“Our planet is already reeling from severe climate impacts, from scorching heat waves and destructive storms to severe droughts and water shortages,” said Ani Dasgupta of World Resources Institute, reacting to the report.
Guterres called for the immediate reduction of all new fossil-fuel projects, including the cessation of “all licensing or funding of new oil and gas — consistent with the findings of the International Energy Agency,” and “the phasing out of coal by 2030 in OECD [Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development] countries and 2040 in all other countries”
That must have been embarrassing for the Biden administration, which just greenlit the Willow Project, which is expected to produce 180,000 barrels of oil a day in Alaska.
Meanwhile, some in the climate cult are complaining that that political infighting between scientists and the UN made for a months-long delay. Scientists were vexed that mismanagement of the report and its delay caused a missed opportunity for the report to make a bigger impact at the UN Climate Change Conference in Egypt in November.
According to one IPCC author, speaking to Politico anonymously, the botched release is “a total sh**show, but everyone acts as if everything is fine.”
Al Gore used the release of the report as an excuse to shill for donations to his “Climate Reality Project.”
Each new edition of the IPCC’s annual report is designed to elicit fear that only a global effort can address.
“This report is a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every timeframe,” Guterres said. “In short, our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once.”
Guterres proposed a new “Climate Solidarity Pact” in which the G-20 nations would vow to cut emissions to the mythical “net zero” by 2040 and, of course, offer copious amounts of money to the developing world so that they can get on board the climate train.
If the “climate crisis” were actually real — it’s not — the real solution to fixing it would involve widespread use of nuclear power, which creates almost zero emissions. Unfortunately, that’s not a solution that Guterres or the IPCC is willing to consider.
No, instead their solution is to shame all of humanity into bowing to their demands — as unrealistic and freedom-killing as those demands always are.
