Guterres now claims that "the era of global warming has ended" and "the era of global boiling has arrived."
Three months later,Icelandic Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir said the same at the opening session of the 2023 Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik.
She said,
We no longer find ourselves in an era of global warming but of global boiling.
Not to be left behind in absurd, end-of-the-world rhetoric, President Joe Biden told the media in Hanoi in September (see Remarks by President Biden in a Press Conference | The White House):

And, in October, twelve international scientists had a study titled "The 2023 State of the Climate Report: Entering Uncharted Territory" published in the journal Bioscience declaring:
...life on planet Earth is under siege" and that "we are pushing our planetary systems into dangerous instability.
And don't get me started on the insanity of 97,000 delegates getting together in Dubai to proclaim even crazier proclamations.
