And, supposedly, he will demand China toughen their targets
Biden administration to unveil more climate policies, urges China to toughen emissions target
U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration next week will release more policies it believes are needed to tackle climate change and is urging China to toughen one of its targets on greenhouse gas emissions, his top climate advisers said on Saturday.
Gina McCarthy, the White House’s national climate adviser, did not say what policies would be released. A memo seen by Reuters on Thursday showed Biden will unveil a second round of executive orders as soon as Jan. 27 that include an omnibus order to combat climate change domestically and elevate the issue as a national security priority.
“We’ve already sent signals on the things that we don’t like that we’re going to roll back, but this week you’re going to see us move forward with what’s the vision of the future,” McCarthy told a virtual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
Ah, won’t say, eh? These should be some doozies, all while the elites pushing them refuse to give up their own use of fossil fuels and make their own lives carbon neutral. And you know that it will be bad for the economy, especially during the COVID recovery
John Kerry, Biden’s special climate envoy, said a recent pledge by China, the world’s top greenhouse gas emitter, was “not good enough.” In September, Chinese President Jinping set a goal for his country to become carbon neutral by 2060, 10 years after the 2050 time frame favored by most countries, while also pledging a more ambitious short-term goal on emissions.
Like we would trust China in the first place? Heck, most of the Paris signatories who have tough targets are nowhere close to sticking to them.
Anyhow, when all the Biden voters, including the #NeverTrumpers on the Right, start whining, remind them who they voted for. And, if these policies were so great, why are they not going through the Legislative branch, where they belong?
