"Climate Carnage": U.N. Secretary-General Tours Parts of Pakistan Devastated by Floods
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A third of Pakistan remains under water following devastating floods
that have killed over 1,300 people and displaced tens of millions.
During a weekend visit to Pakistan, U.N. Secretary-General António
Guterres said he had never seen "climate carnage" on such a scale.

Secretary-General António Guterres: "Emissions are rising as people die
in floods and famines. And this is insanity. This is collective suicide.
From Pakistan, I am issuing a global appeal: Stop the madness; end the
war with nature; invest in renewable energy now."
