The UN Siren song of doom never ends and relies on the people and the media not paying attention. If attention were paid as it should be they would be held accountable for their near hysterical claims of death and doom to come that have not panned out.
They started out with a twenty year tipping point in 1982 as reported in the Vancouver Sun on May 11th of that year: “world faces an ecological disaster as final as nuclear war within a couple of decades unless governments act now.” According to Tolba in 1982, lack of action would bring “by the turn of the century, an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust.”
Then in 1989 they issued another tipping point statment of doom:
Excerpt: According to July 5, 1989, article in the Miami Herald, the then-director of the New York office of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), Noel Brown, warned of a “10-year window of opportunity to solve” global warming. According to the 1989 article, “A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ‘eco-refugees,’ threatening political chaos.link
Then in 2007 the UN IPCC Chairman issued yet ANOTHER tipping point: Pachauri in 2007: "If there's no action before 2012, that's too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment" link
Then in 2012 the UN issued ANOTHER tipping point statement: “If current trends continue, if current patterns of production and consumption of natural resources prevail and cannot be reversed, then governments will preside over unprecedented levels of damage and degradation.” link
The main stream media will not bother to put this kind of information out, let alone call on the UN to be held accountable for it's continued false claims. They have only reported on each tipping point statement as it has occurred and lended credibility to this nonsense.
Fortunately it seems that enough people though have heard this never ending crescendo of doom and discounted it or intuitively become immune to it. Fact is that the siren song has been going on so long now without ANY of the disasters they have predicted happening that the Alarmist camp, even with Obama's machine behind it, has lost all credibility with the average person.
But just a word of warning. If you try and research this to the source documents you will probably fail because the UN and even the US congress has apparently scrubbed the files available on line to cover their tracks.
