By Kelly P. Taylor


FRANCE 24 English published this video article, titled “Cold War, Hot Planet: Could Superpower Rivalry Derail Climate Change Goals?” – below is their description.

How serious are the superpowers in tackling the planet’s climate emergency? In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Xi Jinping followed the lead of Japan and South Korea and pledged to end China’s funding for coal-fired power plants abroad. The United States has put aside escalating tensions to welcome the pledge, but critics dismiss the announcement as handy fruit from the nation that is by far home to the most national coal-fired power plants.
