United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has issued a strong warning regarding the current climate situation, stating that 'the planet is in serious danger.' The UN highlights the increasing impact of the weather phenomenon known as El Niño, which is projected to become very intense in the coming months.

Guterres declared that El Niño is reaching gigantic proportions, warning that temperatures continue to rise and that the world is in a danger zone regarding extreme weather conditions. These climate changes raise concerns about potentially unusual and damaging weather events.

According to the United Nations climate agency, El Niño is expected to persist almost certainly until February, continuing to influence the climate and putting global environmental conditions at risk.
