Biden administration to unveil more climate policies, urges China to toughen emissions target

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.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.

“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.Biden, a Democrat who took office on Jan. 20, quickly issued executive orders canceling the Keystone XL pipeline that would import tar sands oil from Canada and rejoining the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

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 Xi Xingping 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.

He talked on Friday with foreign ministers in Europe, who told him they had high expectations for the Biden administration after a lack of action on climate in the Trump years.

Finally we can move forward on climate change after 4 years of utter GOP nonsense. 👍👍

Biden, worst Pres. has allowed 3509 Americans to die from COVID ea day. = 1.2 mill/yr. a full term = 4.8million needless deaths.”human tragedy” +riots every day of being Pres. Destroyed tens of 1000s good union jobs in the energy sector... he should be impeached immediately!

Mr. Biden can urge all he wants but China will not listen as their propaganda apparatus is in full gear in repeating how great China is and how much they have done. They copied this from Mr. Trump's oratory skills of saying a lot and putting down others and actually doing nothing

What? That’ll be the day!

And this is gone..interesting.

Tell them about there carbon tax !!! Nothing taxing a tax or the air !!!!

China is the world's best and most responsible when it comes to emission. Those baseless accusations are nothing new, merely helpless jealousy towards China's economy success.

He urges...wow that will certainly get there attention 🤡
