UN Secretary General António Gutteres is doubling down on his shrill climate demands, as he approaches the final stretch of his zero achievement term of office.
Pacific in peril: UN urges Australia to block new coal and gas projects
By Bianca Hall
August 27, 2024 — 11.25amWealthy countries like Australia must immediately phase out fossil fuels and block new coal projects and oil and gas expansion to drastically reduce greenhouse emissions, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in Tonga on Tuesday.
The UN issued a global SOS – what Guterres described as a “save our seas”, releasing new data from NASA and the World Meteorological Organisation that showed sea-level rises had doubled since the 1990s.

“Without drastic cuts to emissions, the Pacific islands can expect at least 15 centimetres of additional sea-level rise by mid-century, and more than 30 days per year of coastal flooding in some places,” Guterres told reporters at the forum.

The demand is especially funny because fossil fuel is a key component of solar and wind power. Coal is an essential ingredient of solar panels, while oil and gas are essential components of the epoxy or polyester plastic used to form wind turbine blades. An end to coal, oil and gas projects, especially metallurgical coal, would also spell the end of the renewable revolution.
But I guess you’d need to know something about science and engineering to understand the relationship between fossil fuel and “green” energy.
As the forgettable Gutteres approaches his final stretch, an interesting question is who will replace him.
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who is currently a player in the global censorship push, is a long shot possibility. She seems a very random kind of person, she made a speech in 2023 equating climate skepticism with gun violence. If she serves the UN as well as she served the people of New Zealand, with any luck the United Nations would suffer total dissolution by the end of a Jacinda term as UN Secretary General.
