His comments came as experts and officials from around the world gathered for a week-long meeting in the Swiss Alpine town of Interlaken to finalize the last of seven reports issued by the global body's panel of top scientists since the Paris climate accord was forged in 2015. In a video address to delegates, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on C*****e C****e "could not come at a more pivotal time."

Climate crusaders want your pet to eat insects for the environment
FIRST ON FOX: The United Nations pushed back against concerns that its upcoming global climate summit in Egypt would result in unnecessary carbon emissions due to the travel required for leaders to attend the event. International diplomats, observers, activists and journalists are set to descend upon Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, to attend COP27, the UN's annual climate conference, which is slated to kick off on Nov. 6 and conclude on Nov. 18. International leaders are expected to continue their push for a global green t***sition from f****l f**ls to clean alternatives like solar and wind power during the summit.
"The conference allows for virtual participation and the carbon footprint will be offset," Alexander Saier, a spokesperson for the United Nations Framework Convention on C*****e C****e (UNFCCC) which is hosting the conference, told Fox News Digital in an email.

While Saier noted that attendees would be able to attend virtually, he did explain why the UN didn't make the entire event remote. Overall, about 40,000 people, including 24,000 diplomats, had registered to attend the two-week conference as of Wednesday.

John Kerry will fly commercial to UN climate conference following backlash for private jet carbon emissions
'Biden’s cabinet is jetting around the world wasting the same f****l f**ls they say they want to ban,' Sen. Josh Hawley previously told Fox News Digital

Climate czar John Kerry accused of hypocrisy over private jet emissions
Fox News contributor Douglas Murray joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss Kerry's 'hypocrisy' as progressives face backlash over their far-left g***n e****y push.
FIRST ON FOX: Special P**********l Envoy for Climate John Kerry will take a commercial airline when he travels to Egypt next week for the annual United Nations climate summit.
A State Department spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that Kerry would travel to the high-profile conference in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, via commercial aircraft rather than private jet. Kerry has previously been criticized for his use of a private jet owned by his family for travel to accept a climate leadership award.
Kerry's international trip will begin with a visit to the U.K. later this week, according to a release his office issued Tuesday. He will then travel to the United Arab Emirates before heading to Egypt on Nov. 6 to lead the U.S. delegation at COP27 through Nov. 18. "Each of these 12 days before we gather together in Egypt are days to pull together the remaining threads of potential progress," Kerry remarked at an event hosted last week by the Council on Foreign Relations. "It might surprise some people to hear that even in this year of political tumult and testing, the global climate fight has pushed on step by step, mile by mile, not just in the weeks leading up to the COP."
"Headed towards COP27, this year has to be the implementation-plus," Kerry continued. "The test this year is: Will countries put commitments into action? And will outlier countries that haven’t strengthened their commitments, will they step up? That’s the implementation and the plus." Since President Biden appointed Kerry to be the first-ever special p**********l envoy for climate — a cabinet-level position tasked with engaging in climate negotiations with foreign nations — Kerry has jetted around the world, pushing a t***sition from f****l f**ls to g***n e****y alternatives. However, Republicans have criticized Kerry for failing to live up to his own standards, pointing to his heavy reliance on gas-guzzling airplanes and ownership of a private jet. Fox News Digital previously reported that Kerry's family jet emitted more than 300 metric tons of carbon since assuming his position at the State Department in the Biden administration. By comparison, the average American has a total carbon footprint of about 16 tons per year, according to The Nature Conservancy. "Joe Biden launched his war on American energy on his first day in office, shutting down domestic energy production and making us reliant on our enemies," Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital in July.
"But while Americans are struggling to afford gas and being lectured about ‘t***sitioning’ their energy use, Biden’s cabinet is jetting around the world wasting the same f****l f**ls they say they want to ban," he continued. "Americans can see the hypocrisy and it’s insulting." In addition, government watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against Kerry in September, arguing his office has improperly withheld information about his travels as special p**********l envoy for climate. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
President Biden and Special P**********l Envoy for Climate John Kerry, whose office said he would travel to and from the summit via commercial airline, are expected to lead the U.S. delegation at the event. "It's going to be like Davos, where you see all those private jets lined up," Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "In America, they expect people to get rid of their pets, to change their diet, to drive electric vehicles to reduce emissions, and here you have these clowns flying around wherever they want, staying in these nice places with a huge carbon footprint," he continued. "Maybe they'll have a vegan meal and call it day."
