KICK FOSSIL FUEL ADDICTION

 

  

 

 

Antonio Guterres, Portugal’s distinguished former prime minister now nearing the end of his long term as Secretary-General of the United Nations, has once again warned that climate change is closer than ever to eradicating human existence.

 

The following area few  short extracts from Guterres’s speech at the  COP31 summit of world leaders.

 

 An immediate response to climate change is essential, he said. Immediate action is vital.

 

“The brutal truth is that the climate crisis is out- turning us. Heat records keep shattering. The last four years were the hottest ever. And fossil interests keep killing our planet”.

 

Later in his speech Guterres said, “we are in a fight for our lives and our children’s future”.

 

Threequarters of humanity live in countries that import fossil fuels.

Recent conflicts make clear that this is a recipe for chronic insecurity and a cost-of-living meltdown. It is time to kick the fossil fuel adduction.

 

It is “make or bake time,” says Guterres.

 

He is, of course, aware that his Portugal  homeland has long kicked the fossil fuel addition and focused on renewables.
