UN leader warns against climate ‘collective suicide’ as heat wave grips Europe.
“We have a choice. Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands,” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres told leaders from more than 40 countries who had gathered in Berlin for the Petersberg Climate Dialogue.
Guterres called for global leaders to work together to reduce emissions from burning fossil fuels, invest in adaptation and for developed nations to make good on the funding they’ve promised to lower-income nations.
Guterres made his comments as many nations around the world have been suffering from record high temperatures and raging wildfires.
Gotta be honest, they lost me when they said the “UN leader”.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres issued a dire warning to leaders from 40 nations gathered in Berlin to discuss climate change response measures as part of the Petersberg Climate Dialogue.
“Half of humanity is in the danger zone from floods, droughts, extreme storms and wildfires. No nation is immune. Yet we continue to feed our fossil fuel addiction,” Guterres said in a video message to the assembled leaders on Monday.
“What troubles me most is that, in facing this global crisis, we are failing to work together as a multilateral community. Nations continue to play the blame game instead of taking responsibility for our collective future. We cannot continue this way,” Guterres said.
“We have a choice. Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands.”
Note the Collective part? This clown, and the rest of the Useless Nations have shown repeatedly that when they say anything is “collective” it will be a failure, and hurt, not help whatever made-up crisis these bastards are claiming to care about.
