Biden has said that global warming topping 1.5 degrees in the next 10 to 20 years is scarier than nuclear war, per CNBC.

“That’d be real trouble. There’s no way back from that,” Biden said, according to a White House transcript of the press conference.

“The only existential threat humanity faces even more frightening than a nuclear war is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 20 — 10 years,” Biden said.

“Many of you who are foreign policy experts have been engaged for a long time. Did you ever think you’d be sitting at a G20 conference where everyone was preoccupied with the notion of global warming?” Biden said. “Not a joke. Did you ever think that?”

“The dog days of summer are not just barking, they are biting. Our planet has just endured a season of simmering — the hottest summer on record. Climate breakdown has begun,” the United Nation’s Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement on Wednesday.

“Scientists have long warned what our fossil fuel addiction will unleash.  Our climate is imploding faster than we can cope with extreme weather events hitting every corner of the planet,” Guterres said. “Surging temperatures demand a surge in action.  Leaders must turn up the heat now for climate solutions. We can still avoid the worst of climate chaos — and we don’t have a moment to lose.”
