China's Planning Agency Admits That It's Made Zero Allowance For Climate Breakdown

[hatrack]

In what seemed like a rare show of humility, China has flatly admitted the subject matter of climate change was not something it prepared for as it zealously worked to rise to become one of the leading economic powers of the world today.

While the country worked to push towards progress and economic supremacy, it failed to consider the any potential and possible ill-effects, China's economic planning agency said.

Even as it acknowledged government's efforts to curb the rising ill effects of climate change the country had so imposed on its territory and citizens, these wont be enough. "Although our work at dealing with climate change has achieved some successes, basic abilities have yet to be raised up, and there are many weak links in our work," the economic planning agency said.

"In the future the rising trend of temperatures will become even more obvious, there will be even more unfavourable impacts (from climate change), and if effective measures are not taken the losses from disasters caused by extreme weather will be even more serious," the agency added.

They seem as though they will become the world's leader in climate change remediation.
