  "summary": "UN chief Antonio Guterres has warned that the world is entering an \"age of climate extremes\" as the UN's World Meteorological Organization released a report indicating that 2026 is expected to be among the hottest years on record. The unusually strong El Nino, which is colliding with a planet already superheated by manmade climate change, has led to record-breaking global temperatures, melting ice, rising sea levels, and intensifying extreme weather events. Guterres urged leaders at the COP31 climate conference to \"get serious\" by cutting emissions faster, accelerating a just transition from fossil fuels, and delivering necessary finance and protection for vulnerable countries.",
