AFTER Donald Trump took office, a new cold war started heating up between China and the US. Regrettably, President Biden doesn’t seem predisposed to cooling tensions anytime soon.
However, beyond man-made cold wars, which if they turn hot, threaten the collapse of civilisation with nuclear weapons, there is another war taking place where the US and China are — or at least should be — the closest of allies.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human activity has warmed the earth by 1.1°C since 1850-1900. The IPCC’s new report now believes we need rapid large-scale action to prevent the earth from warming by 1.5-2°C within the next 20 years. This amount of warming is believed to be a tipping point that, if reached, could lead to climate change spiralling beyond repair.
