The United Nations secretary-general didn't mince words when addressing how he feels about the oil and gas industry this week.

António Guterres lashed out at the fossil fuels industry following a meeting with civil society groups, the Associated Press reported. The industry, he said, is "trading the future" for money. Guterres urged them to move "away from a product incompatible with human survival."

"The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions... It’s fossil fuels – period," he continued said.

Despite Guterres' passionate rebuke of fossil fuel usage, the United Nations reportedly owns an entire fleet of aircraft, and is known for hosting a lavish annual climate summit that draws as many as 400 private jets, according to Breitbart News.
