flag UN chief demands global fight against climate lies ahead of COP30, citing record heat, extreme weather, and U.S. rollbacks.

flag UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged global action against climate disinformation ahead of the COP30 summit, stressing that science and accurate weather forecasting are vital to combating extreme weather and saving lives. flag Speaking at a WMO meeting in Geneva, he condemned political attacks on climate science, particularly from the Trump administration, which has cut funding for weather services, dismissed climate change as a “con job,” and eliminated clean energy tax credits. flag Guterres highlighted that 2024 saw nearly all new power capacity come from renewables, now the cheapest and fastest-growing energy source, and warned that the past decade was the hottest on record, with intensifying storms, floods, and heatwaves. flag He called for ambitious climate plans to limit warming to 1.5°C and universal access to early warning systems by 2027, especially for vulnerable nations.
