U.S. President Joe Biden views climate change as the sole threat to the survival of humanity. According to him, even the risks of a nuclear conflict pose less danger, as reported by Bloomberg. It is certainly a mistake to consider climate change even distantly on par of nuclear war. But for the green agenda that’s OK.
Biden made these controversial remarks during a press conference in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, this afternoon. He added that
“we will really be in trouble if global warming exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius in the next twenty years, which scientists consider a tipping point for increasing the likelihood of extreme weather conditions. There is no turning back. So, in the meantime, we can do a lot.”
What about local warming to 5000 grads?
Biden spoke after the G20 summit in India, where leaders agreed to a series of climate actions, including a pledge to triple renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade. According to the National Centres for Environmental Information, the United States has suffered over $12 billion in damages this year due to severe weather conditions.
The fear of a nuclear conflict is growing, partly due to the war in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to use his country’s nuclear arsenal if its sovereignty is violated. He recently deployed tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus. However, for Biden, climate change remains a greater threat.
“When I said three years ago that I was concerned about the drying up of the Colorado River, everyone looked at me as if I were crazy.”
