(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) The United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—a group of scientists who make a living promoting climate alarmism—has updated the world on how long it has left to live, the Post Millennial reported.
According to the recently released report, humanity can be saved only if the lives of people across the world are reordered according to scientific principles.
“Climate resilient development becomes progressively more challenging with every increment of warming,” they wrote. “This is why the choices made in the next few years will play a critical role in deciding our future and that of generations to come.”
Yet, skeptics contend that climate scientists have been making the same hyperbolic claims—and then shifting the goalposts—for the past half century.
Like its precursors, new UN report maintains that fighting climate change, though it may require massive reorganization, will help improve economic growth and living standards.
“The economic benefits for people’s health from air quality improvements alone would be roughly the same, or possibly even larger than the costs of reducing or avoiding emissions,” they wrote.
In order to save the world, they suggested cutting carbon emissions by nearly two-thirds by the year 2035, with a total elimination of fossil fuels by 2040.
Right on cue, the panel also declared that climate change is racist.
“Climate justice is crucial because those who have contributed least to climate change are being disproportionately affected,” said Aditi Mukherji, one of the scientists involved in the report.
“Almost half of the world’s population lives in regions that are highly vulnerable to climate change,“ she added. “In the last decade, deaths from floods, droughts and storms were 15 times higher in highly vulnerable regions.”
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres got in on the fun as well, penning his own, parallel report, which argued that “we need climate action on all fronts—everything, everywhere, all at once.” He put forward an “Acceleration Agenda” for forcing the nations into climate change activism.
Unfortunately, the fear-mongering UN rhetoric has often caused embarrassing gaffes as they predict doom-and-gloom that never arrives.
Their warning, for example, undercut the narrative of child-activist Greta Thunberg, who predicted in a 2018 tweet that humanity would be dead by 2023 if it continued to use fossil fuels.
She recently deleted the tweet in question.

The U.S. government also has been forced to admit its folly in prematurely predicting a climate apocalypse.
In January 2020, for instance, the National Park Service quietly updated signs it installed during the Obama administration that claimed the eponymous attraction at Montana’s Glacier National Park would have melted away by the end of the year.
