Ban Ki-moon declares climate change debate ‘over,’ calls Paris deal his greatest achievement

 

NEW YORK — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday that his greatest achievement at the helm of the world’s biggest international organization was last year’s climate change accord in Paris, and he expressed open frustration that Republicans in the U.S. continue to obstruct President Obama and to politicize the subject.

“The debate on science and the debate on politics as far as climate change is concerned is over,” Mr. Ban told The Washington Times in an exclusive interview. “Still, the Republican Party, they are not convinced.

“There should be no political consideration on this,” he said. “There should be no room for politics to get involved.”

Mr. Ban, who has been secretary-general for a decade and is nearing the end of his tenure, made the comments in a wide-ranging interview on topics including Syria’s civil war and the mounting threat of a nuclear-armed North Korea.

As I point out to people "Where we are standing today here in MPLS 20,000 years ago there was an ice sheet 1 mile thick. If you compress the age of the earth (3.5 billion years) into 24 hours, 20,000 years ago was about 3 seconds."

Mankind thinks too much of its 'ability' to affect something like climate.
