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.
"Fossil fuel industry plans must be transformation plans that chart a company's move to clean energy and away from product incompatible with human survival."
"The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions. It’s fossil fuels – period."

A report at Climate Depot explained, however, "Despite Gueterres' passionate rebuke of fossil fuel usage, the United Nations reportedly owns an entire fleet of aircraft, and is known for hosting a lavish annual climate summit that draws as many as 400 privates jet…"
None of those jets, so far, has made those trips using either solar or wind power.

Then even the AP, which leans far left on global warming ideologies, said the comments were "a tirade against fossil fuel companies."
The U.N. itself has doubled down on such draconian ideas, with the suggestion with without following Guterres' orders, "We are hurtling towards disaster, eyes wide open."
He said only by cutting carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 will the world avoid a 2.8 degree Celsius increase in temperature which would be, he claimed, "catastrophe."
The report said he also is demanding a "solidarity pact" that would take money from richer nations to give to less-developed economies.
He also is demanding that financial institutions "everywhere" end any investment whatsoever in coal.

Online, he was ridiculed personally for his ideology.
"Says a man whose quality of life and jet setting depends 100% on fossil fuels," noted one.
IMPORTANT NOTE: “Election denier!” “Science denier!” “Climate-change denier!” “Conspiracy theorist!” And then there’s “hate speech,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “misinformation,” even something called “MALinformation.” A bizarre new lexicon has been conjured up by America’s elites, the SOLE PURPOSE of which is to discredit and ridicule – and if at all possible, CENSOR ENTIRELY – speech that doesn’t support their increasingly dark and deranged agenda. Tucker Carlson is just the latest.
In the greatest imaginable irony, the nation once boasting the most robust culture of freedom of speech and the press – undergirded by the strongest constitutional protections for those rights – is now ground zero for a total war on free expression.
How could this possibly happen in the United States of America? It’s all explained as never before in the sensational new issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE ELITES’ ALL-OUT WAR ON FREE SPEECH.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
