CLIMATE HYSTERIA GOES UP A NOTCH (OR TWO)

You may have noticed that "Global Warming" has in the last few weeks been upgraded to "Global Boiling."

If you are not already sweating at this terrifying thought, then you will be dismayed to learn that, following a measured increase of 0.05% in the temperature of the rain that is currently falling on most of Britain, the term "Global Scalding" will shortly be disseminated on all mainstream media.

The government denies that it is considering locking down the country to save lives. However, staying indoors is strongly recommended, as fire brigades will be unable to cope with the huge numbers of expected cases of spontaneous combustion as humans are overcome by the universal heat.

Antonio guterres, head of the un, says the weather gods are angry and will bring down upon us the time of "global boiling".

To repent and please the weather gods humanity must enter the digital 15 min city gulags, consume bugs as food, lock themselves in their pods and of course pay more tax.

@gol979 And get all of the future untested gene therapy injections that are being prepared as we speak to "defeat" some as yet undeclared "pandemic" which the communists at the once useful but now entirely corrupt and dangerous WHO will spring upon us

@gol979 LOL!

Yes - him! You'd think someone in his position would use proper terms and speech about genuine and very serious problems with genuinely very difficult possible solutions, not hysterical metaphors that play to the wilfully ignorant and the deniers (often the same people).

He is a politician though, and despite having any number of technical advisors to help them, most politicians of all flavours are not noted for understanding anything technical.

Walter - not sure if you really believe that or are being satirical! :-)

@ArishMell hes not a politician. We cant even have the illusion of voting these cretins out of power

@gol979 Those are two different things. Depending on your nation, you can be a 'politician' whether voted in by a free election or not: it simply describes the role.

I agree the Head of a UN body is not a politician in a governmental or party way, and not elected in the conventional way; but the roles of the UN and its constituent bodies are still political in that their recommendations or advice can be taken into individual nations' laws, or be used to influence governmental decisions.

For example, many of the more significant "Directives" (framework-level laws) issued by the European Union for translating into EU-nation laws originate in UN and other international treaties and regulations; and it is surprising just how many of these international bodies and agreements there are. (I think my country, the UK belongs to, or is a signatory of, about 90. )
