Sanders raises alarm on global warming
US Independent Senator Bernie Sanders has once more sounded the alarm in regard to the severity of the global warming crisis.
“For the sake of the future generations we must act now, Sanders wrote on a tweet posted on Tuesday.
The clock is ticking. Every day that we delay bold action on climate change is one day closer for more droughts and forest fires, more heat waves, more flooding, more sea rising, more extreme weather. For the sake of future generations we must act NOW.

Sanders warned that the situation was getting worse each day.
“Every day that we delay bold action on climate change is one day closer for more droughts and forest fires, more heat waves, more flooding, more sea rising, more extreme weather,” he tweeted. “The clock is ticking.”
In the meantime, US President Joe Biden has asked Congress to approve a $36 billion budget for fighting global warming in 2022.
The lion share of the budget will be allocated to clean energy initiatives, innovations and research, while a lesser share will go to the building infrastructures for storage and transmission of clean energy, as well as retrofitting homes and federal buildings.
A report by US national security and intelligence experts warned that climate change could become a “catastrophic” security threat on both national and global levels.
Global warming “will pose catastrophic, and likely irreversible, global security risks over the course of the 21st century,” experts wrote in a report released by the National Security, Military and Intelligence Panel of the Center of Climate and Security as quoted by the Hill in February 2020.
The report warned that all regions across the globe faced “serious implications,” adding that global warming could bring “catastrophic security impacts across the globe.”
