Is this a War, or What?

I Don't Want No Climate War
Apparently the UN climate meetings are not enough. Now, the Security Council will get involved.
From our beloved Guardian, we learn that: “A special meeting of the United Nations security council is due to consider whether to expand its mission to keep the peace in an era of climate change.”
We know that everyone was stressed up at the latest Bonn conference, but isn’t this going a bit to far?
The Security Council, like it not, is a product of the Cold War. In essence in order to avoid a destruction of the planet by a nuclear war. Hence the peculiar rules for who’s in or out. Again, like it or not, but this is a serious thing.
Here’s my modest recommendation: Just leave people alone. We don’t need no Green Helmets. There has basically been no Global Warming for over ten years, and even if it should come, infrastructure, economy, market economy you name it, is the only way out.
There might not be an imminent threat of nuclear war, but that’s no excuse for making up another Armageddon.
