It’s tough taking these people seriously. This 11th August speech on “climate change” by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sounds like it comes from a US television evangelist who still has thousands of glow-in-the-dark crucifixes in his garage and he needs to shift them quickly:

“The downside is equally dramatic.

If we fail to act, climate change will intensify droughts, floods and other natural disasters.

Water shortages will affect hundreds of millions of people. Malnutrition will engulf large parts of the developing world. Tensions will worsen. Social unrest – even violence – could follow.

The damage to national economies will be enormous. The human suffering will be incalculable.

We have the power to change course. But we must do it now.

As we move toward Copenhagen in December, we must “Seal a Deal” on climate change that secures our common future. I’m glad that the Chairman of the forum and many other speakers have used my campaign slogan “Seal the Deal” in Copenhagen. I won’t charge them loyalty. Please use this “Seal the Deal” as widely as possible, as much as you can. We must seal the deal in Copenhagen for the future of humanity.

We have just four months. Four months to secure the future of our planet.”

This could easily be the UN translation of the Book of Revelation. It’d hardly be a surprise to read about St John carrying a sandwich board around the public square in Babylon with the words, “World Ending! Get Right With Gaia!”
