https://www.afinalwarning.com/500585.html (Natural News) The head of the United Nations has called to cancel all planned coal projects worldwide. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres exhorted nations to scrap their projects that use coal in order to end the “deadly addiction” to this fossil fuel. He emphasized that phasing out coal from the electricity sector is the “single most important” step to tackle the climate crisis.
Guterres said on March 2: “Today, I am calling on all governments, private companies and local authorities to take three steps. First, cancel all global coal projects in the pipeline and end the deadly addiction to coal. Second, end the international financing of coal plants. [And] third, jump-start a global effort to finally organize a just transition [for coal industry workers] – going plant by plant if necessary.”
