FN:s Guterres säger bra saker, men är det någon som lyssnar? När någon varnar för katastrofer så borde ju alla stanna upp och lyssna ordentligt!
Jorden är väldigt sjuk, men alla kör bara på som om en sjuk Jord vore en bagatell. Men en sjuk planet kan inte föda oss och nu håller vi rentav på att förstöra en av grundförutsättningarna för livet på jorden, klimatet. Vi måste faktiskt stanna upp och ändra vårt beteende, så vi belastar Jorden mindre.
Guterres uppmanar regeringar att sluta subventionera den fossila industrin, det är verkligen en mycket rimlig åtgärd.
UN chief urges action to avert climate change 'catastrophe'
UN chief Antonio Guterres said climate-related devastation was striking the planet on a weekly basis and warned Sunday that urgent action must be taken to avoid a catastrophe.
"We are here because the world is facing a grave climate emergency," Guterres told a two-day Abu Dhabi Climate Meeting to prepare for a Climate Action Summit in New York in September.
Guterres said destructive climate change was moving at an increasingly fast pace.
"Climate disruption is happening now... It is progressing even faster than the world's top scientists have predicted," the UN secretary general said.
…
"Every week brings new climate-related devastation... floods, drought, heatwaves, wildfires and super storms," Guterres said.
He warned the situation would only deteriorate unless "we act now with ambition and urgency", but some of the world's decision-makers still did not realise the dangers.
…
"But we know that even if the promises of Paris are fully met, we still face at least a three-degree temperature rise by the end of the century -- a catastrophe for life as we know it," Guterres said.
…
France's secretary of state for ecological and inclusive transition, Brune Poirson, taking part in the Abu Dhabi meeting, called for "mobilising private financing," to fund climate programmes and actions.
"What we have to do is mobilise more private capital and instead of having private money invested in coal projects... it should be invested in renewable energy," she told AFP.
…
In his speech, the UN secretary general also called for governments to "stop subsidising fossil fuels... (and) stop building new coal plants by 2020".
