Global Warming Hysteria: UN “Process” Under Threat of Collapse


Well, boo-hoo: The head of the pathetic UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is warning that unless we agree to turn over our freedom and economic futures to unelected UN bureaucrats, the “process” is doomed. From the story:

The United Nation process is in danger of collapsing unless countries are able to agree on the best way to stop global warming by the end of this year, the outgoing head of climate change negotiations has warned…Mr de Boer, who will leave his post in June, said the world cannot afford another failure. “Copenhagen was the last get-out-of-jail-free card and we cannot afford another failure in Cancun,” he said. “I think if we see another failure in Cancun, that will cause a serious loss of confidence in the ability of this process to deliver.”

Gee, how terrible it would be if we stopped spending millions treating these bureaucrats to sumptuous accomodations as they conspire, er, seek consensus, on the best way to sieze control over the world’s economies. Rather than being a negative,  it seems to me that the breakdown of the UN “process” is not only to be wished, but deeply yearned.

Dear Reader,

Can I be direct with you?

War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.


Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
