Antonio, don't tell us, tell fossil fuel corporations...

No written script, he knows his topic by heart in the most basic sense. Great speech! 🙏

It's a beautiful Trainwreck... There are times i prefer to shut up and watch it fall apart, just like in 2006-- decided, "Eh... I'll watch instead..."-- it was beautiful...

there once were hairless apes that all drove big cars and flew around the world, going extinct by blowing all of earths oil into the atmosphere... why? some short term profit, 2 weeks vacation a year, disposable toys, religious and corporate wars...

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres Speaks on Climate Change with UN Colleagues

Sharon Aloni-Cunio in the recording, is heard speaking on the phone on October 7, saying, "Yes, in Nir Oz. We are suffocating to death. There are terrorists outside our home."

While speaks, one of her 3 year old twin daughters is heard saying, "Mommy, no, don't die." Her daughter chillingly repeats this phrase throughout the recording as Hamas terrorists entered their home.

There is no way to stay below 1, 5C. 5-10 years are we are permanently past it. 14-16 years for 2, 0C. And current trend is toward 3-5C warming by 2100. 77% of IPCC climate experts says we are heading toward 2, 5-5, 0C (or more) warming.

This means:
Warm water coral reefs are lost.
Over 30% of marine life is lost.
Greenland ice sheet is lost.
Amazon rainforest is turning to desert and grassland.
All climate driven extremes are more likely and more devastating.
Permafrost will thaw releasing 500-1000Gt of carbon (decades of human made emissions).
Mountain glaciers are vanishing leavien billions without clean water.
Most crops will fail due to droughts and floods.
Even the soil is losing stored biological and non-biological carbon.
All life in the world is threatened.
Tippping point dominoes can lead to rapid 18C warming making everything even worse.
...

We have to stop this trend immediately.

So, stop burning fossil fuels.

Stop your car. Change you electricity to renewables (and seen that it is really done so). Change your heating/cooling to heat pumps, ie. geothermal power. Lessen your consumption on all goods. Vote for politicians who daily talks about climate issues and who are willing to cut down fossil fuel industry.

It is also time to take fossil fuel liars to the court for endangering everyone. Charge against fossil fuel industry CEO's, corrupted politicians, their funders, beneficiers and every billionaire (too high personal emissions).

Without shutting down fossil fuel burning we don't have a chance. 80% of our energy comes still from fossil fuels.

Stop this deadly madness of fossil fuel burning. Today.

Its actually up to us, citizens to pressure our local government and politicians...

The perfect spokesman the perfect UN leader! Thank You

[AKrn]

There are a lot of things we need to do that ain't gonna happen. Now what?

[globalwarming]

He is literally begging the fossil fuel CEOs and shareholders to stop destroying the atmosphere.

Hi Guterres. In the very near past, i came across an angry someone who thought that he was delayed for two hours. I wish there were a chance to tell em some of what u do in life 😂
