The U.S. and China, the world’s two biggest carbon polluters, have agreed to cooperate with other countries to curb climate change, just days before President Biden hosts a virtual summit of world leaders to discuss the issue.

The United States and China, the world's two biggest carbon polluters, have agreed to cooperate with other countries to curb climate change, just days before U.S. President Joe Biden hosts a virtual summit of world leaders to discuss the issue.

The agreement was reached by U.S. special envoy for climate John Kerry and his Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua during two days of talks in Shanghai last week, the State Department said in a statement Saturday. Kerry’s Shanghai trip marked the highest-level travel to China by a U.S. official since Biden took office in January. From Shaghai, the former secretary of state flew to South Korea for talks.

“For a big country with 1.4 billion people, these goals are not easily delivered,” Le said during an interview with The Associated Press in Beijing. “Some countries are asking China to achieve the goals earlier. I am afraid this is not very realistic.

BobHunterMD Example of a good headline!

The striped pattern of the national flag is made by sewing together? I did not know

They all creepy

So how many billions of dollars do we have to give them for this

The Japanese Prime Minister and Biden’s summit was a clown show see:

At some point one must do what's right for humanity my Bible tells me they obey the laws of the land as long as it does not conflict with God laws in our laws has a habit of conflict or God lost I sometimes think it's intentional but I when one that's powerful are doing (Wrong)

when they are not doing what's the best for humanity for our country and for the people of our country and people of the world it's time we let him know but always remember those consequences I'm suffering some consequences now but I think i'll-placed and I'm I do I'll do again

Well I had you say China in the United States are the biggest polluters and they going to tell the rest of the world how to improve improve that pollution that's kind of like putting the fox in the hen house has been so many times we find that our government is not right it's l

Jan 2020 - PM Imran Khan is worried and concerned about the repayments to IMF and the international pressure he will face. The only solace for PMIK is to repent for the Shirk he did at Pak Pattan, and solely ask Allah SWT for help. Learn more at

Muhammad Qasim was already shown in his dreams over 2018, 2019 and 2020, that Imran Khan will fail to fulfil the promises he made to the people of Pakistan. The events shown in his dreams are coming true exactly as Qasim said. Visit - Muhammad Qasim Dreams

Wrong picture.

Does that mean Kerry will get rid of his private jet and yacht?

CWittrodt Comparable to Trump's big lie, Global warming is a money making scam! Season's will change as prophesied!

LOL. The Chinese are going to do whatever the heck they please and climate change is not in their equation. Botox John flew all the way over there and got zero.

Why does the U.S have to pay for other countries pollution? Where does the U.S rank in pollution? China just writes whatever pollutant number you'd like to see and dare you to question it. India is laughing hang on a minute..

Only way to save the Earth is to let go of and abolish any form of Capitalism. Capitalism is garbage.

Global warming is a myth.

God job Kerry.

If we are concerned with 'pollution,' what is the disposal process for China's used COVID anal swab tests & how many of them do we have so far?

... isn't that what the Paris Agreement was?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now that the dubious vaccine rollout is in progress they've moved on to climate change and thereafter they will be attacking global farming and enhancing genetically modified food....one day the world needs to show BillGates the middle finger.

🙄

The urgency has a name and it’s Australia.

I thought Americans didnt believe in climate change? Act of God and all that?

We cannot drink oil. We cannot drink lithium.

and the Uighurs, continue to languish ?! Ahahahaaaa!

The only reason to put a 🇰🇷 is that Korea is suffering from so much pollution and 미세먼지 from China (🇨🇳)

Targets? Plans? Accountability protocols? Agreements are useless with it.

The flag in the picture is S. Korea flag. Is AP so called journalist retarded or intentionally trying to not even give China flag any credit? I think the latter. Either way it’s fake news as President Trump called.

Daddy is here for you babe feel free to Dm or text me up 2607865269

This and nothing is the same thing. Biden is an empty suit.

Yep, CNN told us that. You know the next fake crisis shoved down everyone's throat !

Never trust ccp.

If you believe anything China says I have a house on Mars I will sell you.

Not believing that the US and China can reach a climate change agreement with a strict enforcement mechanism. Just like UN, WHO, WTO, human rights, seas, lands, etc China has negated its obligations to follow international laws & rules. China will continue to act as it wishes!

Wonderful news. It is good to see such positive changes.

If advocating for nuclear power to replace fossil fuels is not a focus of the discussion they are just not serious about climate change

China has made two commitments:1. its per capita carbon emissions will be less than 85% of the average level of developed countries. 2. to achieve carbon neutral target by 2060. and there is action plans already. People hope other countries can take same actions.

Fineprint: by 2095

A SUMMIT NEVER TO COMMIT ?

Good to know Biden will now have more material for his speech. I expect them to set some lofty and good sounding environmental goal to be achieved by the year 2125 for further political theatrics

China is our friend

China doesn’t have the ability to go clean. They rely on cheap fossils fuels to power their industrial engine.

Lol, round 40. Let's see what doesn't happen once again so the taxpayers can fit the bill for another 'summit'. These guys love to travel to exotic places.

But….you have the Korean flag in the photo 🤔

Pandemic_Times ScottMorrisonMP stranded on the rocks here SCOMO. Backed us into a corner with no where to go because you have been sitting on your hands. Coming to think you don’t have the capacity to be a real leader in this world.

I'd be happy if the Chinese would just stop their biological weapons program.

Nothing more than political talk

Even I don't believe that line of BS

Communist China agreed..................

And this will happen how? Stop our dependence on consumerism and capitalism's? Greedy, selfish countries only thinking of their goals, only thinking of the moment, for decades. We are the worst animal

Wait, is that John Kerry and the South Korean flag? Are you drunk, ?

If you Believe this Nonsense, I have a Bridge to sell you...

What about the Uighur? They getting any climate relief?

They will talk: 'China is set to add new coal-fired power plants equivalent to the European Union’s entire capacity in a bid to boost its slowing economy, despite global pressure on the world’s biggest energy consumer to rein in carbon emissions.'

Let’s go!!

MORE LIES FOR VOTES

my daughter (4 years old) said he looks creepy.

Devil is in the details. I trust Kerry as far as I can throw him

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. Let's save our earth for our children.
