Why people don't listen to the UN if they are trying to make the world a BETTER place?

Question

People the united nations aretrying their best to solve the gobal warming issue, poverty etc.. and am not talking about that movie of glbal waming am talking about it because am 13 and we were in JMUN and I started thinking that even thought the UN IS really trying to do something people doesn't care, they don't listen, NOTHING!!! In my opinion humans are VERY very LAZY, MEAN, SELLFISH, and all of this because they are not trying to their BEST to try to solve this problem.

P.S. GLOBAL MARMING CAN EXIST AND MIGHT AND IF IT DOESNT THEN AS THE SUN IS A STAR IT MIGHT POSSIBLE EXPLODE AND WE ALL THEN FREEZE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

P.P.S. WE DO HAVE SOEMTHING ELSE AS A RESOURCE TO MAKE ENRGY NUCLEAR POWER!!! PEOPLE NULCEAR POWER,!! MUCH BETTE THAN OIL!

Answer 1

The United Nations has been taken over by third world countries. The UN only wants to punish the United States. I think this is out of jealousy. The "haves" vs the "have nots".

The Kyoto Treaty punishes wealthy countries and rewards "third world" countries. There is no penalty for India or China for energy use. The European countries that signed the treaty are buying energy credits from China and India. The net carbon savings for the world is zero. China and India are getting a windfall from the sale of energy credits.

Global warming is a hoax. The earth has been warming since the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. The earth is still warming at about the same rate. There is global warming on Mars. The polar ice caps are melting. This is not because of greenhouse gasses on earth. The sun is putting out more solar energy.

If you think nuclear power is a good thing, ask the people in Three Mile Island PA, USA or the people in Chernobyl, Russia if they think it is a good thing.

You say "In my opinion humans are VERY very LAZY, MEAN, SELLFISH, and all of this because they are not trying to their BEST to try to solve this problem."

First a problem has to be identified, before it can be solved. There are people in this world that are trying to solve the world's problems. But, it's not the United Nations. Thay are just a bunch of politicians tring to get whatever they can for themselves.

It's not the "Chicken Littles" of this world yelling "the sky is falling" either.

Answer 2

You are very confused about the world.  Most of the world is run by petty two bit dictators and thugs.  Why would we want to listen to them or their representatives.  There is no comparison to the US or most other UN representatives.  Ours are elected and semi-represent the interest of America.  The UN is a corrupt political bureaucracy.

Answer 4

dont trust the UN they have two faces

publicly they appear to help

in secret in Africa they are the biggest killers and iniciators of wars

here are some things you can do

global warming i dont think can be stopped but we can stop helping it becoming faster,this requires global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

POSITIVE ACTIONS

if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness

education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

Answer 5

Simple.  Not everyone agrees with the UN.  In America, when we disagree with our officials, we can vote them out of office.  But if we disagreed with the UN (lets say over trade disputes or military affairs) what could we do?  I do not think that my choices should be made by someone who was not elected by me  or my countrymen.  I'm sure many other people dont feel that the the UN speaks for them either.  The arab world doesnt like the UN because it recognizes israel.  If we all followed the UN, the world might be better, but for whom?

Answer 6

Countries have their own priorities. They have to balance their two objectives - take care of their self and work for common good.

Answer 7

The UN tries to do many good things but individual contries look out for themselves and their own citizens and don't usually care about what happens in another country.

Answer 8

Because the UN is one of the most corrupt and inefficient organizations in existence.  The professional bureaucrats that run the place are only interested in enriching themselves by diverting money to their private bank accounts and the vast majority of the representatives are only interested in humiliating the U.S.

Answer 9

The UN is a joke.  Before it the League of Nations was a joke.  It is a debating society that cannot possibly enforce its resolutions because they have no enforcement mechanism (ie police force or military).  

There are few organizations as anti-Semitic as the UN.  

All of its members are equal, but only a few pay the vast majority of the dues that covers the budget for the UN.  The US pays something like 25% of the budget AND provides the land and buildings.  And yet, the UN has been distinctly anti-American for going on 50 years.

I could go on, but the UN isn't worth anymore of my time.
