Kemp stated that the effects of rising temperatures could lead to a financial crisis, disease outbreaks and more catastrophes that could occur possibly in the near future.

«Paths to disaster are not limited to the direct impacts of high temperatures, such as extreme weather events. Knock-on effects such as financial crises, conflict, and new disease outbreaks could trigger other calamities, and impede recovery from potential disasters such as nuclear war.” Filed Under: Experts warn climate emergency

He adds, “By 2070, these temperatures and the social and political consequences will directly affect two nuclear powers, and seven maximum containment laboratories housing the most dangerous pathogens.

The UN warned yesterday that there is no way to resolve the most pressing problems in the world without effective dialogue and cooperation between the US and China. This was stated by Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, when questioned about Beijing’s decision to end cooperation with Washington on several key issues, including climate change and defense, in protest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan this week.

«For the secretary general, there is no way to solve the most pressing problems around the world without effective dialogue and cooperation between the two countries,» the spokesman said. Fighting climate change has been a key area of ​​cooperation between the two superpowers, and the freeze in talks comes as US and Chinese officials stepped up their engagement ahead of the upcoming COP27 climate summit in Egypt in November. China and the US are the two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases and their previous bilateral commitment on climate change helped pave the way for the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015. John Kerry, US Special Envoy for Climate, called the suspension of the talks «both disappointing and misguided,» according to reports from Agencia Reforma. Filed Under: Experts warn climate emergency
