Joe Biden urged nations to help “overcome the existential crisis of our time”
US President Joe Biden has told a major summit that we are in a “decisive decade” for tackling climate change.
The US has pledged to cut carbon emissions by 50-52% below 2005 levels by the year 2030.
This new target, which was unveiled at a virtual summit of 40 global leaders, essentially doubles their previous promise.
But the leaders of India and China, two of the world’s biggest emitters, made no new commitments.

It looks like one of the party sprayed bear or pepper spray as he was walking away too. Jerks.
Thanks to our nut wack Supreme Court repubs, climate change progress received a setback with their recent blow to the EPA’s ability to curb emissions.
They’re on a roll…
