If world handles climate like Covid-19, UN chief says: 'I fear the worst'

NEW YORK - The United States, China and Russia fought on Thursday during a United Nations Security Council meeting on the coronavirus pandemic after UN chief Antonio Guterres had warned the body that if the climate crisis was approached with the"same disunity and disarray" of Covid-19, then:"I fear the worst."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the Chinese government's top diplomat, Wang Yi, both took veiled swipes at the United States during the virtual council meeting on global governance post-Covid-19, to which US Ambassador Kelly Craft responded:"Shame on each of you." "We see attempts on the part of individual countries to use the current situation in order to move forward their narrow interests of the moment, in order to settle the score with an undesirable government or geopolitical competitors," he said.

Washington accuses Beijing of a lack of transparency that it says worsened the outbreak. China denies the US assertions. The United States has announced plans to leave the Geneva-based World Health Organisation after Trump accused it of becoming a puppet for China during the coronavirus pandemic. The WHO has rejected Trump's assertion.

Greed and selfish leadership will lead the world and its people to the grave. Capitalism in such hands is the gun given to madmen.
