President Joe Biden will pledge to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at least in half by 2030 as he convenes as a virtual climate summit with 40 world leaders, according to three people with knowledge of the White House plans.The nonbinding but symbolically important pledge is a key element of the summit, which begins Thursday as world leaders gather online to share strategies to combat climate change.It came on the day Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced her Green New Deal and her '10-year mobilization to fight the climate crisis'. 'The Green New Deal envisions a 10-year national mobilization to fight the interconnected economic, social, racial and climate crises

What we need are some televised debates on climate change from so called experts from both sides, but no politicians.
All we hear is from is from politicians and and no nothing journalists.

I love springtime, getting those nice packages of seeds to start under grow lights. My farmer neighbor always advised, don’t plant things that might freeze to come up before May 15, because they might be frosted. One might think the date would be getting earlier with all this climate crisis, but I hear another snow storm is expected in Virginia within the week. I wonder if AOC ever planted a garden.

They are going to destroy this country and remake it into a Socialist 'utopia'. All in the name of saving the planet. Too bad. It was nice while it lasted, but the country has reached critical mass for the left to seize power.

Why only half, and why not before the end of Biden's first term? Just shut down oil production the way you did coal. We don't need energy. We can import everything from China. We don't need jobs, as the government has already taken over the payroll.

I don't think any of these people constantly taking about Climate Change and a Climate Crisis have ever planted a garden or lived on a farm. They are all city folks who know nothing about climate, the weather, planting and growing anything green. To them, everything is a crisis and an opportunity to take taxpayer money and give to leftists. The left doesn't care at all or give a thought to the climate. It's all about our money and their power.

We couldn't cut our emissions in half with half the economy locked down. The only way this gets done in nine years is the destruction of the US economy and every manufacturer moving off shore.

'Climate change' is the great hoax of our time. It is not happening to a significant degree (less than many climate variations in the past), but is a naked smoke screen for the left's real agenda of world government (what better issue than one that can only be achieved by every nation working together.)
It is estimated that the average CO2 in our atmosphere is 412 parts per million, down from 438ppm just a decade ago. The average CO2 level over the 4 billion year history of the earth is reportedly about 1000 ppm. (412ppm is about 0.004% of the atmosphere.) And for 90% of earth's history, both poles have been ice-free.
The feather merchants continue to peddle misinformation - even at the highest levels of government - in spite of the fact that NONE of their dire predictions have come true.

#7, wonder no more - a couple of years ago it was reported that AOC was shocked to learn that lettuce was grown in dirt. Not a joke, it was all over the news. She’s like the idiots who don’t know that meat comes from animals.

1. Define "the climate crisis."
2. Show us the statistically-reliable, scientifically-gathered data which proves your hypothesis.

FTA: "Biden will pledge to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at least in half by 2030."
According to the Paris climate accord, China and India are allowed to do nothing about their greenhouse gas emissions until 2030. Today China emits more greenhouse gas emissions than the US. By 2030, China is projected to double their greenhouse gas emissions. Add in India, there will be 4 to 5 increase in greenhouse gas emissions even if the US reduces greenhouse gas emissions by half while destroying its economy.
THIS IS INSANE !!

It’s always after they re gone. They never do anything now.
That’s what so perfect about global warming and other utopian ideas.
“Elect me today, somebody else will deliver after I’m gone.”
The Gullibles fall for it every time. It’s the only way dims know how to “succeed.”
Or, “I would have delivered but those evil racists prevented me from doing it.”

Let's start with you. From this point on the Executive branch is only permitted 40% of the current energy it uses. Stop flying, cut back the heat and AC in the WH, maybe close off a few rooms, and how about all those silly lights all over DC alone?
Hey, I saw Black Mirror, how about you supply all the convicts with treadmills to generate power. I'd credit the production against usage.
OhOh! we could park the Beast and it's back up and ground AF1...you could fly around on an old C141..or even just a falcon. I think there is a couple still left. Ah, I'll leave that for the AF to sort out (hint, get Lt Col or below to work on that, I think Birds get a lobotomy with those eagles)
Now about all these meetings and travel...well, you can't shut down at noon and make it pay, so you might as well stay home..ever heard of Zoom? School children use that instead of real teaching. Why don't you use that and the real bonus is the Chicoms can just tap into it and you won't have to do reports anymore? Wouldn't that be great??
Give Nancy your autopen and ask her to send you a copy after the fact. Saves the energy. See, this isn't so hard!
Now curl up with your jello and watch the TV.

Oh my God! Destroying our economy will certainly reduce our carbon foot print. Do any of these idiots understand the implications of what they want to do? By the time it is over, if they get their way, our footprint will be small and the US of A will look like Somalia and AOC and Kamala will look like all the wealthy potentates in Africa and we will walk around 1/2 naked using a stick to control our one goat.
