You fact-checked a meme. That's more befitting Snopes[1] than serious HN discussion.
Thus my joking response - mirroring your post's form & logic, and yet arriving at the opposite result. Essentially me lampooning your position "factually wrong but morally right"[2], as the (UN environmental official's) quote turned out to be factually wrong.
I will stick to the "> The fact that we are seeing the same headlines for many years now should have been an obvious giveaway" part tho.
