"Humanity has a choice: cooperate or perish,” U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres told delegates (to the COP27 meeting going on now in Egypt) urging them to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels and speed funding to poorer countries struggling under climate impacts that have already occurred. "Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible," he said. "We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.” Reuters News
