The U.N. chief has toured the highest peaks in Nepal, and says the world should end the fossil fuel age to curb global warming that melts glaciers in the Himalayan mountains. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has addressed Nepal’s parliament after flying past Mount Everest and touring the base camp of Mount Annapurna.

“Glaciers are melting at records. I was a witness,” Guterres said in his address. “The effect is devastating. Swollen lakes bursting, rivers and seas rising, cultures threatened. And mountainsides exposed, inflaming the risk of rock slides, landslides and avalanche.” A report earlier this year by the Nepal-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development said that Himalayan glaciers could lose up to 80% of their glaciers if the earth warms by 4 degrees Celsius in coming decades or centuries.
