A key UN report on the state of the global environment has been “hijacked” by the United States and other countries who were unwilling to go along with the scientific findings, the co-chair has told the BBC.
The Global Environment Outlook, the result of six years’ work, connects climate change, nature loss and pollution to unsustainable consumption by people living in wealthy and emerging economies.
It warns of a “dire future” for millions unless there’s a rapid move away from coal, oil and gas and fossil fuel subsidies.
But at a meeting with government representatives to agree the findings, the US and allies said they could not go along with a summary of the report’s conclusions.
As the scientists were unwilling to water down or change their findings, the report has now been published without the summary and without the support of governments, weakening its impact.
Nobody should care what the US thinks anymore.
No one should believe anything the US says, but paying attention to it is still a good idea because of the nukes
They’re not the only ones with nukes. Fuck them. Ignore them completely until they get their shit together.
What the fuck does “not the only ones with nukes” supposed to mean? Every entity with them needs close fucking attention paid to how it behaves and what it says.
I’m not saying do what America wants because they have nukes, I’m saying America is a fucking rabid dog and you don’t take your eyes off a rabid dog.
“Fix your shit not our problem” is a very American thing of you to say and think. Idiot
climate change driven by capitalist greed will end the human civilization. that’s the easiest prediction that’s been coming for decades
That or a massive solar flare that fries every electronic device in whichever hemisphere is facing the sun.
