United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned Tuesday that the “climate crisis” threatens the lives of humans all over the world due to rising sea levels and flooding. [emphasis, links added]
Calling for the world to take “urgent climate action now,” the U.N. alarmist-in-chief said on X that he was in the Polynesian kingdom of Tonga “to issue a global S.O.S.: Save our seas on rising sea levels.”
Guterres went on to contend that global average sea levels “are rising at rates unprecedented in the past 3,000 years” and that relative sea levels in the Southwestern Pacific “have risen even more than the global average.”
A few days in Tonga offered me a front row seat to how people here have to endure the impacts of the climate crisis on a regular basis:
From torrential rains & flash floods to rising sea levels forcing families to relocate.

“Greenhouse gases, overwhelmingly generated by burning fossil fuels, are cooking our planet,” he said with his characteristically melodramatic style. “And the sea is taking the heat — literally.”
“Rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity’s making, a crisis that will soon swell to an almost unimaginable scale,” the Portuguese socialist argued, adding, “If we save the Pacific, we also save ourselves.”
The New York Times finally admits the truth : The “vanishing islands” are not vanishing
It’s been a tenet of faith for those gullible simpletons & low-informal voters indoctrinated into the climate cult that the tropical islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans have been… pic.twitter.com/siSHzXFA1F

Contrary to Guterres’s histrionic claims, recent studies suggest that despite some rise in sea levels, many islands have not shrunk — as alarmists predicted — but have been stable or even grown.
In a June 26 article titled “The Vanishing Islands that Failed to Vanish,” New York Times climate reporter Raymond Zhong chronicled the surprising find that atoll nations — like the Maldives, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu, which seemed doomed to vanish — somehow have not.
Nonetheless, Guterres has continued urging wealthier nations to pay climate reparations for the consequences of climate change in developing countries.
He has also repeated, in ever more hyperbolic fashion, his warnings of an impending climate apocalypse.
“I will never forget the climate-related carnage I saw after apocalyptic flooding submerged a third of Pakistan,” the U.N. chief stated in 2023 on X. “I call on donors & international financial institutions to make good on their funding pledges in support of recovery efforts as soon as possible.”
The “climate emergency is threatening the very survival of communities & economies that depend on tourism,” he said while calling for “green investments” and “investing in sustainable tourism.”
Guterres has also argued that humanity must urgently find solutions to global warming because it “has opened the gates of hell.”

Sounds like the same Markey that Hollywood Hypocrite Robert Redford was babbling about a few years ago
“…and that relative sea levels in the Southwestern Pacific ‘have risen even more than the global average.'”
Which means that in some places the sea level is not rising as fast as “average”, and if the land is rising, perhaps even a negative “rising rate”.
Short ‘quotes’ on technical subjects , are aimed at folks who skim the headlines and don’t read the articles.
This is the same kind of Nonsense that Hollywood Hypocrite Robert Redford’s been yammering about few years ago
What a ‘Maroon’ he is.
He has ZERO credibility. IMHO
He is an un-convicted criminal. Maroons support him.
