In his address at the World Economic Forum, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticized the global reliance on fossil fuels, noting it resembles a 'Frankenstein's monster' causing devastating climate effects like sea-level rise and extreme weather. He condemned major banks and fossil fuel companies for undermining climate agreements and the shift toward sustainability. Guterres emphasized the economic potential of renewable energy and pointed to the irony of major oil ports facing flooding threats due to climate change. He reiterated the pressing need for action against climate change as global temperatures set new records.
The fossil fuel industry gave $75m to Trump's campaign. Guterres said: What we are seeing today... are just a preview of the horror movie to come.
Guterres highlighted the grim irony of analysis revealed by the Guardian... Thirteen of the world's biggest ports for oil supertankers will be overwhelmed by rising sea levels.
