The chief of the United Nations has called for the immediate and global destruction of the world’s energy industry because, he claims, fossil fuels are “incompatible with human survival.”
The organization’s secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, said at a recent conference, "All of this action must be global. It must be immediate and it must start with the polluted heart of the climate crisis – the fossil fuel industry.
"Let’s face facts. The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions. It’s fossil fuels period. The solution is clear. The world must phase out fossil fuels in a just and equitable way, moving to leave oil, coal and gas in the ground where they belong and massively boosting renewable investment in a just transition.
