President Joe Biden is expected to head to Europe without an agreement on measures to combat climate change as chances dimmed that deeply divided Democrats in Congress would agree on Wednesday on a broader spending deal.

Biden is expected to leave on Thursday for a meeting of G20 leaders in Rome and then the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland. The Glasgow conference was expected to be a showcase for Biden to demonstrate U.S. efforts to tackle climate change and ask other countries to adopt similar measures.

Biden's $1.5 trillion-$2 trillion spending plan aimed at curbing climate change and expanding the social safety net remained mired in intraparty squabbles on Wednesday, as did a linked $1 trillion infrastructure bill that also includes climate-related measures.Time has simply run out for anything to be finalized before Biden leaves, a key Democrat indicated.

Others agreed it seemed unlikely there would be an agreement on Wednesday, and suggested fundamental issues, like how to pay for it, remain. The White House sought earlier on Wednesday to portray it as still "realistic" that Biden's signature spending plan could get congressional support by Thursday, but conceded that he might need to depart for Europe without a final deal in hand.

China’s Energy Crisis Complicates Its Plans for Climate Announcements Ahead of COP26The worst power shortage in two decades is squeezing Chinese leaders between international climate expectations and the need to heat households in winter and keep factories going. B.S. They will not cut their emissions ever to a level that will make a significant impact. You assume they care. You should stop that. good luck Announcement? China? When did China ever care to inform the globe when it in fact ' owns' most of it in one way or another. As long as Biden is deeply invested in unions, we too ' belong' to China. Follow the money.
