The opposition LMP party is calling for immediate government action to halt climate change, co-leader Máté Kanász-Nagy told an online press conference on Facebook on Saturday.
Kanász-Nagy cited a United Nations report published this week, in which the organisation, relying on 14,000 expert opinions, concluded that “we are in the last minute”. The UN warned of worsening global warming, and insisted that mankind needs to act immediately so as to halt or at least slow climate change, he said.
Kanász-Nagy noted that LMP had initiated a referendum on its initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent by 2030 compared with 1990 levels. Although the National Election Committee (NVB)
rejected the initiative,
LMP has appealed the decision and turned to the Kuria, Hungary’s supreme court, he said.
Kanász-Nagy
accused the government of unwillingness to deal with the issue.
He added that although President János Áder considers himself “a green head of state”, his commitment was confined to “lamenting over the desiccation of a lake in which he can no longer angle”.
He accused Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of representing the interests of corporations and major polluters, adding that Orban “sneaked away” when the European Union approved the European climate law.

Man made climate change is total bogus equine fecal material. It is not happening. Grow up and learn to think for yourself. Our weather is only changed by solar flairs and sunspot activity. Humans have nothing to do with climate chnage.
When Canada and North Western U.S.A. roasted in temperatures nearing 50 degrees in late June, climate scientists from seven nations jumped on the case and within days were able to declare such extreme heat to be “virtually impossible without without human-caused climate change”.
Commentator under the name Mario – articles on this subject, written by people of eminency published in an International Newspaper – must be respected and listened to.
YOU have a right – under Democracy – to express your opinion, but please -avoid a style that represents at times likened to a that of an assassin – that just defames people – which is not Necessary nor Right.
“Human caused climate change” – my “blessed” life of worldly travel, over decades, leans me heavily in opinion that human life – mankind, is a major contributor to climate change – major contributor.
What is happening – and it is happening “above the clouds” – that’s the complexities of this Global argument or discussion – that is just “soaked” in Politics.
