Nothing like taking a long, fossil fueled flight across the Pacific on a jumbo jet to discuss Hotcoldwetdry, right? Or, taking a short helicopter flight to an airport, getting on a jumbo jet, flying across the US with a backup jumbo jet protected by fighter jets, right?
China and the US pledge to step up climate efforts ahead of Biden-Xi summit and UN meeting
China and the U.S. have pledged to accelerate their efforts to address climate change ahead of a major U.N. meeting on the issue, making a commitment to take steps to reduce emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases besides carbon dioxide.
The joint announcement came on the eve of a summit between Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping that is aimed at stabilizing the rocky U.S.-China relationship.
Cooperation between the world’s two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases is considered vital to the success of the U.N. climate talks opening in two weeks in Dubai. It wasn’t clear earlier this year whether the two governments would cooperate, given a sharp deterioration in ties over other issues including technology, Taiwan and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Both countries “are aware of the important role they play” and “will work together … to rise up to one of the greatest challenges of our time,” they said in a statement released Wednesday in Beijing and Tuesday evening in Washington.

I do believe that is Xi’s motorcade, but, you know Biden’s is as big if not bigger. And none are EVs.
