In 1989, a senior UN environmental official named Noel Brown warned that entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend was not reversed by the year 2000.
Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of “eco-refugees,” threatening political chaos, according to Brown, who was the director of the New York office of the UN Environment Programme (“UNEP”) at the time.
Brown stated that governments had a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it went beyond human control. He also mentioned that as the warming melts polar ice caps, ocean levels could rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations.
Needless to say, his “predictions” didn’t come to pass. But this hasn’t stopped them from playing the same record again and again. For example, see: ‘Sea Level Rise Could Drive 1 in 10 People from Their Homes, with Dangerous Implications for International Peace, UN Secretary General Warns‘, Inside Climate News, 14 February 2023.
The following is the original article published by AP News in 1989. You’ll find it’s the same climate catastrophe rhetoric being used today.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ 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, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.
He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.
Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt’s arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study.
”Ecological refugees will become a major concern, and what’s worse is you may find that people can move to drier ground, but the soils and the natural resources may not support life. Africa doesn’t have to worry about land, but would you want to live in the Sahara?’’ he said.
The Net Zero Nation Public Engagement Strategy for Climate Change is a framework designed by the Scottish Government to engage the people of Scotland in the transition to a “net zero nation.” The strategy, published on 16 September 2021, outlines the Scottish Government’s overarching framework for engaging the public over the subsequent five years.
Key activities and initiatives under the strategy are organised according to the five categories of participation in the Public Participation Spectrum: Inform, Consult, Involve, Collaborate and Empower. These activities are designed to ensure that people are actively involved in turning Scotland into a “Net Zero Nation.”
The level and depth of indoctrination both teachers and pupils are being subjected to under this programme is shocking. By way of demonstration, Biologyphenom notes some highlights below from a “mid-point review” published last week.

It takes Aus kids about 15 years minimum to recover from the educational experience.

If you lived on or near the coast, insurance companies would not sell you an insurance policy. Obama bought a mansion in Martha’s Vineyard right on the coast.
