For someone on the way out, he sure does make a lot of noise about unpredictable weather patterns.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

From the foot of Mount Everest, António Guterres warned of floods, droughts and landslides if 1.5C global heating is breached.

Nepal's snow-capped mountains have lost close to one-third of their ice in over 30 years due to global warming, the UN Secretary-General warned today.

"I am here today to cry out from the rooftop of the world: stop the madness," the UN chief said via video message, calling for an end to the "fossil fuel age".

Glaciers in Nepal, wedged between two major carbon polluters - India and China, melted 65 per cent faster in the last decade than in the previous one, he said after visiting the Solukhumbu region.

Guterres warned that melting glaciers would mean swollen lakes and rivers sweeping away entire communities, and seas rising at record rates.

Glaciers in the Hindu-Kush Himalaya could lose up to 75 per cent of their volume by century's end due to global warming, scientists said in a report published in June this year.
