As the credibility of United Nations continues its (now) traditional path of rapid decline, that it tries to paper-over with self-perpetuating hype and promotion (not the least of which are generated by the United Nations Environment Program [UNEP], inventor and promulgator of scary stores since 1972), there are some recent reports worth noting.

As we approach the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s planned late September release of the first “Book” of the latest version of the Climate Bible (or at least the much abbreviated version thereof, known as the Summary for Policymakers), it is difficult not to notice the flurry of advance activities on the eco-activist front,…
