Climate Action Tracker (CAT) analyzed President Joe Biden's plans to decarbonize the electricity sector, commercial buildings, and new vehicle fleet and found that in order for the United States to do its share to limit the rise of global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius - the goal of the Paris Agreement — it needs to cut at least 57% of its emissions by the end of the decade.
The analysis comes before the United States is due to announce its new Paris Agreement pledge for 2030 known as a Nationally Determined Contribution ahead of a climate leaders' summit the country will host on April 22.
European Union officials and environmental groups are calling on Washington to reduce emissions at least 50% this decade below 2005 levels.
“Having the U.S. taking such strong action would reverberate across the world, and result in other countries also stepping up to adopt the kind of targets they need to make global net zero a reality,” said Bill Hare of Climate Analytics, a co-partner of the CAT with the NewClimate Institute.
Since they already outlawed coal fired boilers in 2012.....what else are they going to shut down?

Biden's climate team, led by National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy and Climate Envoy John Kerry, is working with all government agencies and holding meetings with utilities and car companies as it crafts its new goal.
The CAT report says that the Biden administration plan to decarbonize the U.S. power sector by 2035 is consistent with a Paris Agreement pathway but it needs to strengthen plans to slash emissions in buildings and vehicles.

anything we do is useless if China and India does not follow suit. china has 2x the emissions as the US.

Meanwhile, no other country on this planet is going to come anywhere close to these goals, nor will they be held accountable for not doing so.
Only the United States will. Because reasons.
With what? Unicorn farts and fairy dust?

Is Chy-na going to decarbonize by 2030?

Good news is with gas about to be $5 a gallon soon.. there won’t be as much unnecessary travel .
So it’s a W for the environment

Doing to natural gas what they did to coal; but not lifting restrictions on nuclear reactors.

No way the Polar bears can survive until 2030

Thanks a lot, Biden. What do China and India plan on doing?

Which is my point. What do they think is going to power the fricking grid if they eliminate carbon energy sources yet also ban nuclear?
There is nothing left.

Thats some serious bullshite right there. When Trump pulled the US out of the Paris Accord, the US was the only country to meet its target. Why would any sane person think this reduction would fire up other countries to step up when it didn't happen this last time?
Great scam they have going.

Dude....this is how these people think:
They don't have answers. They don't use logic. They just use feelings.

how is the paris accord even enforceable if it is not a treaty ratified by the senate?
Posted on 3/12/21 at 9:11 am to goofball
There are no penalties for failing to do this and this isn’t a law. People need to chill with this damn Accord. It means nothing.

And people laugh at those who say the global warming scam was created by the Chinese to destroy the United States and Western world's economy. We have to cut everything while China keeps pumping away. Seems pretty obvious the plan is working perfectly.
