CALGARY, Alberta, July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As reported by CNBC on July 18, 2022, UN Sec-Gen Antonio Guterres, incorrectly claimed heat waves, floods and sea level rise were caused by society's 'fossil fuel addiction', calling for 'collective action over collective suicide' to move to renewables – an impossibility since all renewables are made from fossil fuels, says Friends of Science.
