WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Climate calamities and the COVID-19 rampage have exposed a systemic shortcoming that is now plaguing the United States, said an article published recently by the Boston Globe Media.
Climate change "speaks to this country's decades-long inability to address an accumulating crisis," said the article titled "The U.S. has lost the ability to think or plan ahead."
The COVID-19 contagion "illustrates the chokehold that partisanship, conspiratorialism, and suspicion have on our short-term ability to respond to a public emergency," the article added.
