President Joe Biden touted “unprecedented” climate efforts by his administration on Thursday in an annual White House summit that was overshadowed by Russia's war in Ukraine and other immediate threats to the world's short-term oil and gas supply.

President Joe Biden speaks at the fourth virtual Major Economies Forum on energy and climate, Thursday, April 20, 2023, in the South Court Auditorium on the White House campus in Washington.– U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres bluntly challenged the climate efforts of President Joe Biden and other world leaders Thursday in a message for a White House summit, charging thatand other policies of the richest countries amount to a “death sentence” for the planet.

“Yet many countries are expanding capacity. And I urge you to change course," said Guterres, whose calls for an immediate stop to new oil and gas drilling have sharpened since a dindicated the world is heading rapidly toward more disastrous levels of warming. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects the U.S. will pump a record 12.4 million barrels of crude oil a day this year and top that with 12.8 million barrels a day next year. While praising many U.S. climate efforts, advocates especially fault Biden’s approval of the big new Willow drilling project in previously off-limits areas of Alaska, saying it will lock in increased production for decades to come.

Biden also said he would ask Congress for $500 million over the next five years to help slow the destruction of the Amazon, a vital natural reserve soaking up fumes from oil, natural gas and coal in South America.
