Climate protesters descend on New York City ahead of United Nations General Assembly

Tens of thousands of climate activists rallied in Midtown, Manhattan, during "Climate Week" ahead of the U.N. General Assembly, urging President Joe Biden and global leaders to take action against fossil fuel usage. Demonstrators, with signs reading "Biden End Fossil Fuels," "Fossil Fuels Kill," and "Declare a Climate Emergency," called for urgent measures to combat the impact of oil and gas on climate change.

Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the need to end fossil fuel use worldwide. These protests were part of an international initiative led by Climate Group, featuring over 500 protests across 54 countries, with the aim of mobilizing more than a million participants. Scientists attribute extreme weather events to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion, making carbon dioxide reduction crucial in addressing climate change.

No fossil fuels? Nice smart phones these activist have 😂

How sad people are so naive. How do they think their food gets transported, their clothes? Their homes built? The army protect the shores?

Nylon backpacks, nylon tennis shoes, and the list goes on

Oil isn't used for just fuel. So much of the products people buy is made from oil

Always in cities where the most arrogant and unlikable people live.

This is what a state approved demonstration looks like.

We had the JUST STOP OIL mob in the UK a few weeks back. Blocking roads and hanging off the bonnets of cars that tried to drive through their blockade.
Ruining works of art and flower shows!!
It gets awfully tedious and annoying.
If only the UK had a 2nd amendment 🤔

Can anyone else see the condescension in her eyes?

'Fossil fuels'/natural gases and rocks don't kill. Sucking exhausts of monoxide probably is harmful. Carbon is required for life though. Good luck.

[salfordchris]

I carnt wait for Beijing leg of this protest.

[JamesBond-vngh]

The climate fearmongers crazies should glued themselves to Oprah 's private jet and get more news coverage.

What do we want? Greens Out!
When do we want it? Now!!!

Evil exists, People. If not for government I'd be atheist.

An Ofcom investigation has today concluded that an episode of Saturday Morning with Esther and Phil, which aired on GB News on 11 March 2023, breached due impartiality rules.

Saturday Morning with Esther and Phil is a weekly two-hour discussion programme presented by Esther McVey and Philip Davies, two sitting Conservative Party MPs.

Climate change all year round for centuries. Don’t understand people don’t know about geography with natural environment climate change for seasons and how we need oil gas etc. most are in China. Maybe say something to China ??

There is no climate crisis.
The UN's IPCC AR6 report, chapter 11 'Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate' summarises the fact that certain severe weather events cannot be detected as increasing, nor attributed to human caused climate change:
Pages 1761 - 1765, Table 11.A.2 Synthesis table summarising assessments
Heavy Precipitation: 24 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend (12 medium confidence), 43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution.
Agricultural Drought: 31 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend
(14 medium confidence. No high confidence assessment). 42 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (3 medium, no high confidence).
Ecological Drought as above.
Hydrological Drought: 38 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend.
43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (2 medium confidence, no high confidence).
So the IPCC are saying we didn't cause droughts and we didn't make it rain. How surprising!
There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis.
The UN's IPCC AR6, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed:
Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions),
Aridity,
Avalanche (snow),
Average precipitation,
Average Wind Speed,
Coastal Flood,
Agricultural drought,
Hydrological drought,
Erosion of Coastlines,
Fire Weather (hot and windy),
Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods),
Frost,
Hail,
Heavy Rain,
Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms,
Landslides,
Marine Heatwaves,
Ocean Acidity,
Radiation at the Earth’s Surface,
River/Lake Floods,
Sand and Dust Storms,
Sea Level,
Severe Wind Storms,
Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets,
Tropical Cyclones.
How about some quotes from the UN's IPCC AR6?
"There is low confidence in the emergence of heavy precipitation and pluvial and river flood frequency in observations, despite trends that have been found in a few regions."
"There is low confidence in the emergence of drought frequency in observations, for any type of drought, in all regions."
"Observed mean surface wind speed trends are present in many areas, but the emergence of these trends from the interannual natural variability and their attribution to human-induced climate change remains of low confidence due to various factors such as changes in the type and exposure of recording instruments, and their relation to climate change is not established. . . The same limitation also holds for wind extremes (severe storms, tropical cyclones, sand and dust storms)."
There is no objective observational evidence that we are living through a global climate crisis. None.

"Live simply so others can simply live" Can we comprehend it.

Nut cases, the climate always changes.

Gov. Abbott missed the boat. This one have been the perfect week for Texas to cut fossil fuels off of New York and D.C..
