UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged wealthy nations like the U.S. to move up their net-zero carbon emissions goals to 2040, which many Republicans oppose.
President Biden said young people motivated him to act on climate change describing their future in dire terms on 'The Daily Show.'A recent memo sent to every Republican member of Congress is urging lawmakers to dismiss the United Nations’"alarmist report" on climate change.
"In the wake of the latest alarmist report from the United Nations about emissions and climate change, I wanted to draw your attention to three new developments and realities that you should be aware of as debate about climate continues," the memo stated. The memo started by picking apart various claims from those who warn that global warming will lead to catastrophic changes to human and animal life. For example, it noted a short-term projection by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that suggests global temperatures peaked nearly a decade ago in 2015.
Finally, the memo showed various doomsday predictions related to climate change going back to 1967 that never came true.
