‘File of shame’ Climate change progress report blasted by UN Secretary General
over 3 years in news
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed outrage over a climate change progress report released by scientists.
“We are on a fast track to climate disaster,” Mr Guterres said.
The report indicates greenhouse gas emissions need to be halved in just eight years.
“This is not fiction or exaggeration; it is what science tells us will result from our current energy policies,” the UN Secretary-General added.
Guterres warned global warming is on track to more than double the 1.5-degree limit agreed to in 2015.
