I bet he flies around in a private jet and uses more gas and electricity in his mansion than I do in my little house I can barely afford.

The UN is like climate change, full of 💩 poop

[Le_Dislike_Button]

I know a thing or two about thermodynamics and atmospheric dynamics. I don't think fomenting and prolonging disastrous wars around the world is doing our climate any favors. neither is blowing up underwater gas pipelines

The U.N. better stay the hell away from my country

[mikeyonce]

Yeah, in 10 years it's all over unless we do something, right? Like give up our freedom, possessions, nearly starve, etc. But at least we can bow down and be thankful for someone like this who is going to "save" us. Nope, hard pass sir!

Coincidently, it sounds a lot like "we need 2 weeks to flatten the curve..."

[markfcoble]

Will he address all past climate change prediction failures?

[Fido-vmzi]

How can we work together when we can't work together? How do we survive when we can't survive? How do we care when when so many people don't care if they destroy others with greed?

[edhigbee]

You have know idea what the truth is, and the scary thing is you don't care, just spout what fools say.

[philipphan]

"....Russian roulette" quite apt expression! 🤣

[paullegge]

There’s elections coming up. OF COURSE this is a topic 😂🤡

[Cosmic_Djinn]

So if climate change is real then why aren’t you going to china and lecturing them instead?

[Scott]

Amazing that people still fall for this nonsense.

[tacolover]
