The European Union reached a tentative climate deal that is intended to make the 27-nation bloc climate-neutral by 2050, with member states and parliament agreeing on new carbon emissions targets on the eve of a virtual summit hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden.

"Our political commitment to becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 is now also a legal commitment. The climate law sets the EU on a green path for a generation," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said early Wednesday.

"It was high time for the agreement, as Europe has to show where it stands in view of the positive developments in the USA and China," said European Parliament member Peter Liese, the negotiator for the EPP Christian Democrat group. Its environmental expert, MEP Michael Bloss said EU member nations and parliament "have rushed through a weak climate law for the sake of a photo-op with President Joe Biden."

'🗣️JOEY🙈STRIKES🙊AGAIN🙉' Why are children still locked up in cages mr president. Biden might be the darling of the leftists in Canada, but he is still a US president. While talks about him daily, US media rarely talks about our own darling Justin, if ever. The love is not mutual.
