FOREWORD Silver linings
“ As
Greta Thunberg branded it , blah , blah , blah ”
Climate crisis conference COP26 finished with a whimper rather than a bang as governments from across the globe were guilty of half-empty promises and , ironically , a load of hot air . As Greta Thunberg branded it “ blah , blah , blah ”. However , perhaps the highlight of the Glasgow event was the coming together of the two superpowers – the United States and China .
Relations between the two countries have been strained in recent years with tit-for-tat trade wars and flexing of military muscles , so for them to come together and agree to cooperate more closely on climate change was a surprise to many . Not only are these two giants the world ’ s biggest polluters , they are also the most economically powerful . You could argue that all the world needs is for the US and China to make a meaningful difference , and if the environment and impending climate crisis is the force that brings them together , then there is hope – after all .
