Just heard from a friend regarding United Nations conference in Geneva (Switzerland).
Pretty devastating UN report. Even action on climate change NOW will not prevent the predicted devastation as the lag time is too great. Here is the link. You can download the entire report if you are interested. It is actually a periodic report put out by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that checks the gap between commitments and actual implementation! The “Emissions, Gap Report”.

Shame on duplicitous Lee Zeldin for not standing up against this!
