Lots and lots more to come…
On Thursday, António Guterres, secretary general of the U.N., addressed the global heat wave and called for new efforts to protect the vulnerable and workers, as well as to make population centers more resilient.
“Let’s face facts,” he said. “Extreme temperatures are no longer a one-day, one-week or one-month phenomenon. If there is one thing that unites our divided world, it’s that we’re all increasingly feeling the heat. Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere.”
And Guterres, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of the oil, coal and gas industries, left no doubts about the cause. “We know what is driving it: fossil fuel-charged, human-induced climate change,” he said. “And we know it’s going to get worse.”
I guess I’m happy there’s at least one single adult somewhere saying it. FFS.
