Hey climate champions! 🌍 China just fired back at the U.S. over its carbon emission digs at the UN. Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent rep to the UN, called out the U.S. for its history of pulling out of the Paris Agreement not once, but twice – saying that pointing fingers won’t cool down our planet. ❄️
Geng highlighted the Chinese mainland’s strong track record on climate action, from mega solar farms to that epic push for electric vehicles. 🚗⚡ But he also stressed that battling global warming isn’t a solo gig. It needs everyone – from Jakarta to Karachi – to drop the blame game and team up.
He reminded everyone that the Paris Agreement is fundamentally about unity: a promise by UN members to limit the global temperature rise and slash harmful emissions. By bouncing in and out of the deal, Geng argues, the U.S. undercuts this collective spirit.
Whether you’re sipping teh tarik in Kuala Lumpur or grabbing filter coffee in Chennai, climate change impacts us all. Geng’s call? Let’s turn down the heat with real collabs – clean tech, green energy partnerships, and shared know-how. After all, global cooperation is the real MVP in this climate race. 🤝🌱
