Good afternoon. The greed of the fossil fuel industry and inaction of wealthy countries have been singled out as the primary drivers of the world’s climate crisis.
Speaking at the UN climate ambition summit in New York, secretary general António Guterres said “humanity has opened the gates to hell” by allowing the climate crisis to worsen. More than 100 leaders were asked to take part in the summit, but most of the world’s biggest carbon emitters were absent – including the leaders of the US, China, India, Britain and France.
