United States President Joe Biden will lead the virtual event and call on big polluters to do more to reduce emissions and invest in clean energy technology. This week Australia’s federal government announced $540 million would be invested in clean energy technologies in the upcoming budget to lower greenhouse gasses and create 2500 jobs. A total of $276 million will go toward four hydrogen hubs across the country, with another $264 million allocated for carbon capture projects.
The United States is imposing increasing pressure on nations to reduce reliance on fossil fuel resources with President Joe Biden making climate diplomacy a top priority and inviting 40 world leaders to a virtual summit this Friday. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said US diplomats would “challenge the practices” of countries which are setting the world back in the fight against global warming.

Ugly stuff.' Country founded by slave owners, built on slavery, spent a hundred years enforcing Jim Crow and segregation, couldn't possibly be racist because CK gets upset. Cry harder knobby. Didn’t he fuck a dog?
