I read parts of the report. Funny how it doesn't condemn China or India nor does it say anything about cyclical weather events. All doom and gloom if we don't move away from fossil energy.

There are several issues that the climate change crowd is ignoring or not discussing, as usual:
1. There are no existing alternate fuel sources available at the needed scale to replace fossil fuels, i.e., gasoline, fuel oil and diesel fuel. Wind, solar, hydro-electric and everything else combined doesn't come near to providing enough energy to replace fossil fuels. I won't freeze or live in the dark to please the UN or anyone else.
2. Nuclear energy produces no greenhouse gases but the climate change crowd doesn't want any more nuclear reactors. Spent nuclear fuel does demand careful handling but we have the technology to do that.
3. Outlawing fossil fuels means that many people will only have access to wood fuel. In a statement last year, the former President of Greenpeace USA stated that outlawing fossil fuels would result in the deforestation of large areas of the planet, destroying virtually all plant and animal life. Trees also gobble up carbon dioxide, so destroying the lungs of the planet is a really bad idea.
4. As usual, the UN wants the Western Democracies to pay for all of this even though the Western Democracies are the cleanest in terms of producing greenhouse gases. The biggest greenhouse gas generators are Russia, China, India and the wood and coal burning nations of Asia and Africa. The Western Democracies should not have to bear the burden of paying for everyone else. The only real solutions will require everyone to chip in their share of the cost.
5. On a side note, ten river systems in Africa and Asia are the sources of 90% of the plastic pollution in the oceans. Yet no one in the UN or the rest of the Globalist-Socialist crowd ever addresses that, they want the Western Democracies to pay for that as well. Enough already.
