UN Chief Blames the Wealthy for 'Supercharged' Disasters—Another Push for Climate Alarmism?

"All these disasters and more are being supercharged by human-made climate change."

UN Secretary-General António Guterres, speaking at COP29:

"This is almost certain to be the hottest year on record, and a masterclass in climate destruction."

"Families running for their lives before the next hurricane strikes, biodiversity destroyed in sweltering seas... floods tearing through communities... children going to bed hungry as droughts ravage crops."

"And all these disasters and more are being supercharged by human-made climate change. And no country is spared."

"In our global economy, supply chain shocks raise costs everywhere. Decimated harvests push up food prices everywhere. Destroyed homes increase insurance premiums everywhere."

"The rich cause the problem, the poor pay the highest price. The richest billionaires emit more carbon in an hour and a half than the average person does in a lifetime."

"Unless emissions plummet and adaptation soars, every economy will face far greater fury."
