VI Premier wants urgent action against climate change by top polluting countries
The Premier made the calls during an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on the programme Newsday last Saturday, September 23, 2023, and said those nations who are big polluters have to recognise the way in which their decisions, actions, and economy’s function affect the rest of the world.
“Its large coastal populations and exposed location leave it at the mercy of rising sea levels, stronger hurricanes, and worsening floods and drought,” the Premier said.
He added, “Increasing temperatures, meanwhile, threaten its unique biodiversity, including coral reefs, and create human health impacts.”
The Premier stressed the need for world leaders to recognise climate change as an existential threat to the planet and, as such, to keep the threat of climate change in proper perspective.
Premier Wheatley said the Caribbean is one of the regions of the world most vulnerable to climate change.
“Despite its tiny contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, the Caribbean region is already bearing the brunt of climate disruptions, putting many of its tourism-dependent countries deeply in debt and spurring increased migration across the region.”
Mia A. Mottley calls for action on climate change
Premier Wheatley’s comments come on the heels of similar comments from Prime Minister of Barbados Mia A. Mottley, who has urged governments and private sector leaders to take immediate action on addressing climate change.
She was speaking at the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions as part of a panel on 'Braving the Headwinds: Rewiring Growth Amid Fragility'.
“I think we are all agreed that first and foremost, the world is facing a climate crisis,” Mottley said during the World Economic Forum’s gathering in Tianjin, China in June 2023. “What is required is urgent action,” she said.
Barbados remains one of the vulnerable nations to climate change. In recent years, the island has endured major and more frequent hurricanes alongside rising sea levels, leading to coastal erosion and major flooding.

Revelation 13:1-18
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
These leaders worldwide don't know know or understand where this 'CLIMATE CHANGE' AGENDA is leading, but it will lead to total dominance of the world by the elites like Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum and other evil entities.
