“The only existential threat facing humanity, even worse than nuclear war, is global warming,” he said.
According to Biden, such a threat poses an increase in temperature on Earth of 1.5 degrees in the next 10 to 20 years.
He added that global warming is a real problem because “there is no going back” to overcome it.
Previously, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken similarly deemed the threat of nuclear war no more dangerous than the issue of climate change. He also called the warm-up “an existential challenge.”
