U.N. Secretary-General: Cyclone Idai Latest Warning Sign on Climate
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said
Tuesday that Cyclone Idai is the latest "alarm bell" about the dangers
of climate change. The storm killed over 750 people and has left nearly
2 million people in need of assistance in Mozambique, Malawi and
Zimbabwe.

Secretary-General António Guterres: "Cyclone Idai was an uncommonly
fierce and prolonged storm, yet another alarm bell about the dangers of
climate change, especially in vulnerable, at-risk countries. Such events
are becoming more frequent, more severe and devastating and more
widespread, and this will only get worse if we do not act now."
