The United Nations (UN) Secretary-General demands a total phase out of fossil fuels — to stop a “climate crisis” that doesn’t actually exist. How dare you own a car despite the fact there’s weather, you cretinous serf!
Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Davos 2024 conference, António Guterres condescendingly lectured about his favorite topic (when he’s not supporting Palestinian jihadis against Israel): the alleged crisis of climate change. Because climate alarmists have only been dead wrong for 50+ years, so we know they’re right this time. “2023 went down as the hottest year on record,” Guterres lied. “But it could be one of the coolest years [of] the future.”

The Largest Known Reserves of Fossil Fuels are not in Saudi Arabia, Russia or even the USA.
The Largest reserves are on Saturn's moon, Titan. Satellites reveal that Titan has hundreds of
times more oil and gas than all the known reserves on planet Earth.
I wonder what fossils made that fuel?

Yeah, keep spewing that CO2 laden bilgeswaller. We demand an end to the UN and the unelected self-appointed elite wastrels that inhabit it!

I suggest that the Secretary-General put his money where his mouth is and quit using all fossil fuels. I'd be interested in how he would get back home from Davos...

The UN Secretary-General is the reason that the phrase, “b!te me,” was invented.

FTA:
“The media has recently reported that U.S. fossil fuel industry has launched yet another multi-million dollar
campaign to kneecap progress and keep the oil and gas flowing indefinitely,” Guterres gloomily noted.
Dead wrong. Real progress for the human condition began when oil and gas began being used to fuel the Industrial Revolution, not in spite of it. The "progress" the UN Sec General references, like our democrat's hide behind, is a code word for creeping communism. I'd rather die on a battlefield fighting these proto-communists than willingly wait in my cold, dark home to starve to death. Those are steadily shaping up to be our stark choices. American leadership should make the stakes crystal clear; but first, the American people need to make it clear to those who would lead, that the pseudo-science policies being pushed to halt "climate change" by our resident left wing politicians and their allies at the UN, that Americans will not give up the very lifeblood of civilization to a bunch of ignorant, effeminate control freaks and greasy haired Karens.

For the past 50 years the climate cult has been claiming that, in 10 years, we would reach the point that extension was inevitable. During this time all these alarmists have been flying to environmental conferences on private planes burning huge amounts of fossil fuel one or more times a year. If they were serious, they would teleconference. If all fossil fuels were eliminated, many would have to travel by sailing ships to get to the conferences.
They are talking nonsense.

Oil was not caused by dead Dinosaurs or sea creatures. Oil is a byproduct of the Earth's core and composition and time and our sun. It's not rocket science and it's not pseudo science like dead Dinosaurs. Tell the UN to take their pseudo scientists and leave the US. We are citizens of the USA, not slaves to the UN.

Guterres said : “The phase-out of fossil fuels is essential and inevitable. No amount of… scare tactics will change that.”
Leftist also say, the phase out of cash is inevitable. That is the fallacy of inevitability. The reference in the quote to “scare tactics” is projection from the little Hitler.

Every time the "elite" gather in places like Davos and discuss how to save the world (while enriching themselves) and how the little people should live; I am reminded of the SPECTRE meetings in a James Bond movie. All of the evil villians are gathered together plotting how to take over the world. Where is our James Bond swooping in to save the day?

Heck, the fossil fuels wasted by the idling limos and jet planes in Davos just while this UN doofus was speaking probably exceeded the annual consumption of the 250 home subdivision where i live.

We are on the Eve of WW III and this moron is worried about 'climate change'. Don't worry Antonio, you are about to see a climate change not seen in almost a century with death, destruction and the reshaping of the world.

Guterres served as secretary-general of the Socialist Party of Portugal from 1992 to 2002. He served as president of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005, and was the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees from 2005 to 2015. This is who we are fighting.

Ah yes, the UN, the organization where all of the nuts float to the top. The only other form of energy capable of powering the world is nuclear. I wonder how Guitar Man feels about that?

Anyone that says fossil fuel is going to end is a fool or invested in EVs. India and China along with other countries use fossil fuels. The actions of the terrorist groups run by Iran is to deplete USA of fossil fuel and military equipment and we, the USA citizen, will be dead as Iran wants us to be. The moto is 'death to America and Israel' and they mean to kill every American and Jew in the world.

Secretary General, please explain what you mean and show that it's true. I and many others believe you are badly mistaken (or egregiously lying). So go away and mind your own business.

Even if economical sources of hydrocarbon fuels were exhausted, with adequate energy such as nuclear power can provide it would be possible to create synthetic fuels. In WWII, Germany was creating synthetic fuels from coal, so technology to support ICE powered vehicles does not depend upon the known reserves of oil and gas. Directional drilling and fracking have made the available oil and gas resources much larger than seemed possible a few decades ago. There is no technical reason to abandon the energy sources that power our modern world. Those that wish to legislate an end to our known technology would take us into a dark age of 3rd world squalor and widespread starvation.

You first, Mr. Secretary General, you first.
- Start by walking everywhere you go, especially in New York City.
- Take public transport only when you can't walk, and even then, take the lowest carbon emitter possible... like a Dirigible to cross the Atlantic.
- If you ride a bike, make sure the tires are made from natural rubber, if you can find them these days.
- Turn off the gas stove and furnace. Only wind and solar powered heating and cooling will suffice.
- Shed the nylon, polyester, and plastic buttons on your clothing.
- No more plastic lenses and frames for your optical wear. Carved wood, wire, and glass only.
- Most medicines are made from the evil stuff you want to ban; so, no medications for you! Suggesting you buy a book on natural remedies.
Good luck.
