"Enormous injustice": UN chief warns that rising sea levels threaten coasts and island nations

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres stated, 'The world must act, and answer the SOS before it is too late,' emphasizing the urgent need to address climate change.

Guterres highlighted the injustice faced by Pacific Island nations: 'The small islands don't contribute to climate change but everything that happens because of climate change is multiplied here.'

He noted the direct link between human activity and rising sea levels: 'The reason is clear: greenhouse gases - overwhelmingly generated by burning fossil fuels - are cooking our planet.'

Climatologist Dr. Michael E. Mann warned about sea level rise, stating, 'If we act to reduce carbon emissions dramatically, we can probably keep sea level rise to roughly a meter by 2100.'
