In a world grappling with escalating climate disasters, a pivotal moment approaches on the global stage.

The upcoming COP28, the annual U.N Climate Change Conference, hangs in the balance, its success contingent on an unprecedented collaboration between the world's superpowers.

These Superpowers hold the key to COP28 success and need to answer the call for climate unity.

The head of the International Energy Agency has emphasized the urgency of this moment, stressing that the strained relations between the United States and China must be set aside in the name of a common cause: addressing climate change.

As the countdown to COP28 enters its final two months, leaders from influential climate institutions are intensifying their calls for action.

The United Nations, the International Energy Agency, and the climate summit itself are united in their plea for the United States and China to come together and craft a groundbreaking agreement.

Their shared conviction is that only through such collaboration can the international community hope to breathe new life into its efforts to combat rising global temperatures, the insidious force behind increasingly devastating fires, floods, and storms.

The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated.

The consequences of climate change are bearing down upon us with relentless force, unleashing a surge in catastrophic events that threaten lives, livelihoods, and entire ecosystems.

Scientific consensus underscores the critical need for swift and comprehensive action, making COP28 a pivotal juncture for humanity's future.

The United States and China, as the world's foremost superpowers, hold the key to unlocking progress.

Their combined efforts could serve as the catalyst for international cooperation on an unprecedented scale.

With the world's gaze fixed on Dubai, where COP28 will unfold, the question remains:


Can political differences be set aside for the greater good?

Can these two giants unite in the face of a common enemy – climate change?

The stakes could not be higher.

The world waits with bated breath as leaders and negotiators prepare for COP28.

Will it mark the turning point in our battle against climate change, or will political discord overshadow the urgent need for unity?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain and that is the destiny of our planet rests in the hands of its most influential players, and the world is watching.

So let’s look towards 30 November until 12 December 2023 where the world's eyes are on COP28, the upcoming U.N. Climate Change Conference and the push is towards leading the charge against climate change.

The urgency couldn't be greater as leaders from influential climate institutions unite in a plea to the United States and China.

It's time to set aside political differences and forge a historic agreement to combat climate change.

Our planet's future hangs in the balance, and international unity is the key.

I’m personally very optimist about the conference and what can come from it.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month including asbestos education, so this is a good time to raise awareness about preventing unnecessary exposure to asbestos that can cause lung cancer as well as contribute to other possible health concerns.

Short of moving your building or raising it up above flooding, the best approach to take to reduce storm, flooding and natural disaster losses is to simply use a proven coating to wind and waterproofthe surfaces in the path of destruction.

We recently passed the anniversary of 9-11-2001 tragedy of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York. I wanted to remind everyone that the effects of that fateful day are still being felt and especially by some of the heroes that were affected by the initial exposure and then the secondary exposure that took place during the cleanup. Some of those exposed were firefighters, police officers, EMTs (Emergency Medical Technician), construction workers, transit workers, cleanup workers, debris removal crews, truck drivers, nearby office workers, and Lower Manhattan residents.

I discussed in a recent blog the importance of keeping the aesthetics of a historic building intact. Making sure that the look and overall presentation on a structure is preserved is very significant. This is especially true with landmark properties that have prominent and distinct features. Preservation can become very difficult when it entails obsolete building materials that contain hazardous materials that are typically removed and replaced. Three of the most common of hazardous materials is lead-based paint, asbestos and PCBs. In the USA, lead was used in paints up until 1978. It then was banned for its negative health effects, especially with children in their developing stages. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were banned from paints, caulking and surface coatings in 1979 and asbestos was banned in 1974. All these bans were due to the negative health and environmental effects of these products.
