United Nations Postpones COP26 Climate Talks over Coronavirus Fears
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations has indefinitely postponed the COP26 climate summit
scheduled for Glasgow, Scotland, in November over coronavirus fears. The
Climate Action Network responded in a statement, "Let us remember this
pandemic is taking place against the backdrop of an ecological crisis -
one that threatens the lives of millions of people and will exacerbate
the risks we already face. Just like a fast-spreading virus, climate
change has no regard for borders. If one country is not safe, no country
is safe."
