This year is on course to be one of the three warmest ever recorded and could even top the record set in 2016, the United Nations said on Wednesday. The past six years, 2015 to 2020, are therefore set to make up all six of the hottest years since modern records began in 1850, the UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in its provisional 2020 State of the Global Climate report.

    This climate change propaganda hysteria has been going on for decades. The lone polar bear on a melting iceberg is a visual symbol to reinforce their ridiculous allegations.

    Fact: Polar bears have INCREASED in population during the past 3 decades!

    Fact: The continuous climatic change we experience is a part of our environment.

    Fact: The wild claims that we are facing catastrophe have been a part of selling newspapers for over a century.

    If you may remember: we were reliably told in the 1990s that the entire northern ice mass would be completely melted by 2016!

    My livelihood depends on on weather and I'm not the least worried about the wild claims of the politically correct naysayers.

    The monstrous ecological damage due to pollution is due primarily to China and India — with volcanic vents in the Pacific releasing the largest amount of carbon to our atmosphere.

    (And no, I don't wear a tin foil hat — but the gullible public that believes all the hysteria should.)

    UN reports:

    “Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale.”
