Bernie Sanders has a message for the US and China -- learn to work together to confront global warming or doom us all.
and proud of it. To members of the Red Team, he is “woke,” which is the worst epithet they can think of. Were it not for the mind-meld between the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton, Bernie might well have been president of the United States instead of the Orange Ogre.published an opinion piece penned by Bernie Sanders that essentially says the US and China are threatening the very survival of humanity by following a path of mutual antagonism that is leading to a new cold war.
But it’s not just the US that is dealing with record breaking heatwaves and enormous climate-caused devastation. China experienced record-high temperatures last month, including the country’s all time temperature record of 126ºF , and recent flooding has killed about 100 people, destroyed nearly 200,000 homes, displaced some 1.5 million people and caused more than $13 billion in damage. And it’s not just that temperatures have been soaring on land. Our oceans have never been warmer.
The bad news is that we are still falling well short of the kinds of investments needed to deal with this crisis. We are still not moving fast enough to save our planet. The latest report from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects that without more urgent action, the world will pass the key 1.5ºC threshold by the early 2030s, risking a far deadlier future for our children and future generations.
It is no great secret the Chinese government is undertaking many policies that we and the international community should oppose. They are cruelly repressing and interning the Uyghurs, threatening Taiwan and stifling freedom of expression in Tibet and Hong Kong. China has bullied its neighbors, abused the global trading system, stolen technology and is building out a dystopian surveillance state.
