KING GEORGE ISLAND, Antarctica (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is urging the world to slash gases that warm the planet during a visit to Antarctica, a frozen continent that helps regulate Earth’s climate. Warming air and ocean temperatures are causing large amounts of ice to melt, increasing future sea level rise. The visit comes days before nations converge in Dubai for COP28 to collectively address climate change.
