The U.S. Has a New Climate Goal. How Does It Stack Up Globally?
The United States officially has a new goal for fighting climate change over the next decade. So how ambitious is it?
President Biden announced Thursday that America would aim to cut its greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. That’s one of the more aggressive near-term targets among wealthy industrialized nations, although the cuts are arguably not quite as large as what the European Union and Britain have already promised.
That’s an interesting take from the NY Times, since it looks like the article was published prior to the White Green House announcing the targets, especially since the Time really has no more detail than the GHG cuts. Here’s the actual release
Today, President Biden will announce a new target for the United States to achieve a 50-52 percent reduction from 2005 levels in economy-wide net greenhouse gas pollution in 2030 – building on progress to-date and by positioning American workers and industry to tackle the climate crisis.
The announcement – made during the Leaders Summit on Climate that President Biden is holding to challenge the world on increased ambition in combatting climate change – is part of the President’s focus on building back better in a way that will create millions of good-paying, union jobs, ensure economic competitiveness, advance environmental justice, and improve the health and security of communities across America. (snip)
The United States is not waiting, the costs of delay are too great, and our nation is resolved to act now. Climate change poses an existential threat, but responding to this threat offers an opportunity to support good-paying, union jobs, strengthen America’s working communities, protect public health, and advance environmental justice. Creating jobs and tackling climate change go hand in hand – empowering the U.S. to build more resilient infrastructure, expand access to clean air and drinking water, spur American technological innovations, and create good-paying, union jobs along the way.
Unions are dying out in manufacturing, they seem to apply more to white collar jobs like teachers. Will this require that the jobs only be union jobs? Who’s paying them? Why does this seem more like a payoff to the unions who supported China Joe?
To develop the goal, the Administration analyzed how every sector of the economy can spur innovation, unleash new opportunities, drive competitiveness, and cut pollution. The target builds on leadership from mayors, county executives, governors, tribal leaders, businesses, faith groups, cultural institutions, health care organizations, investors, and communities who have worked together tirelessly to ensure sustained progress in reducing pollution in the United States.
All people who like to tell Other People how to live their lives in a way they do not themselves.
This target prioritizes American workers. Meeting the 2030 emissions target will create millions of good-paying, middle class, union jobs – line workers who will lay thousands of miles of transmission lines for a clean, modern, resilient grid; workers capping abandoned wells and reclaiming mines and stopping methane leaks; autoworkers building modern, efficient, electric vehicles and the charging infrastructure to support them; engineers and construction workers expanding carbon capture and green hydrogen to forge cleaner steel and cement; and farmers using cutting-edge tools to make American soil the next frontier of carbon innovation.
That’s the third time it mentions union workers (they’re mentioned a total of 8 times). Oh, there won’t be many jobs in the auto sector, because they will be replaced with even more robots, especially as no one is buying the electric vehicles. Which, if you’ll notice, Joe does not travel in.
Make it in America. We can bolster our domestic supply chains and position the U.S. to ship American-made, clean energy products — like EV batteries – around the world.
I thought making it in America was racist when Trump was in office? It’s not now?
Explored multiple pathways across the economy: The target is grounded in analysis that explored multiple pathways for each economic sector of the economy that produces CO2 and non-CO2 greenhouse gases: electricity, transportation, buildings, industry, and lands.
Yeah, they are looking to control the economy in full.
The United States has set a goal to reach 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035, which can be achieved through multiple cost-effective pathways each resulting in meaningful emissions reductions in this decade. That means good-paying jobs deploying carbon pollution-free electricity generating resources, transmission, and energy storage and leveraging the carbon pollution-free energy potential of power plants retrofitted with carbon capture and existing nuclear, while ensuring those facilities meet robust and rigorous standards for worker, public, environmental safety and environmental justice.
That ain’t happening, not without lots of nuclear power, which Warmists/extreme-enviros are dead set against. Anyhow, how will China Joe lead the way by practicing what he preaches?
Good paying union jobs. Already China Joe is trying to cater to the unions while the rest of his party is telling the unions to go FF themselves.
The rest of the party is more interested in communism then they are good paying jobs.
And what is missing from this entire scenario is the Fascism of the left in telling corporations what to produce and who to hire.
The left screams about the right being fascist but of course we all understand that is projection. Typical fascism is the government which the left LOVES, telling the corporations what to do, which the left loves.
To his credit Joe Biden is trying to fight the far left of his party but it wont work, he is only managing to slow down their 100 mph charge to socialism to about 95 mph. They will still get there, it just might take a few weeks longer is all.
“Environmental Justice”? What the fuk is that? Ya know, just by adding a word before Justice it stops it being Justice. And by adding the word Justice after a word does not make any sense. Automobile justice! Wuhan Flu Justice! Housing justice. See? none of this shit makes any sense. Everything with fascist/communists is “Justice” when only Justice under law is in fact Justice. They do the same slight of hand with the words “Equity” and “Equality”. This shit makes a “conversation” (another favorite pinko word) impossible since we’re not using the same language. But perhaps that’s their goal?
China Joe Xiden signed an executive order to ban the use of Wuhan Virus to describe the Wuhan Virus.
That’s important!
Chairman Xiden still says it’s xenophobic.
We are living in a clown world.
Last year USA auto sales were down 14% with Trump ignoring covid as fake news
USA electric vehicles were up 44%
Hate crimes against Asians are up 1000% here in the USA
The right wing is ginning up anti Asian hate
Kye gets a 2 million dollar loan but decries “socialism”
Teach sells China stuff but calls them commies as he calls other people hypocrites
Life in bizzaro world
“Kye gets a 2 million dollar loan but decries “socialism—
I got a 2,25 million dollar loan and still decry socialism. But if you clowns are putting it out there I’m going to grab it. I’m also on track for over $400k this year in “refugee: subsidies. Plus, I/we have a new NGO 503(c) non-profit that will suck money out of every government office for which we qualify. I thought that’s what you leftists supported? Or is that only for “targeted” Americans. See, we can list as a black, female and Asian run non-profit because you racist losers keep making grants by race. We have 3 Asians, 2 women and a black man as partners. Your rules, not mine.
We are currently looking at 3 different properties to rent out to the government for their precious refugees and illegal immigrants. We can buy the properties with government loans then have the govt pay us for them. Again, your rules. You make it too hard for the blacks and Hispanics to find their way through the maze of red tape, qualifications and regulations to take advantage of these commie programs. But we know how to read English so we can qualify for shit you wouldn’t believe,. I just got a “targetedadvance@sba.gov” a couple days ago where I can grab a $10,000 no-repay grant because we were subject to “Economic Injury Disaster”. It’s a loan” that does not get repaid. How’s that for twisted English? If it’s not repaid it’s NOT a loan it’s a gift (unless you’re using leftist-speak).
You leftists are just jealous I stopped sitting around watching you give my tax money to leftist lobbyists and decided to get some too. I’m just doing what every other organization does from Coca-Cola to BLM: taking advantage of leftist stupidity and you hate it.
But I do thank the illegitimate Xiden junta for their gracious participation in making us millions.

And that, my friends, is the HYPOCRISY of the wealthy elites in a nutshell (if the claims are even true). They can always justify their graft. Pigs at the trough. It’s always thus. Immigrants are OK as long as he can make money off them. Government spending is OK as long as he can make money of it. (If the claims are even true).
Just another crony “capitalist” (if the claims are even true). If the claims are true, he’s a crony socialist.
You have no friends here.
No one buys your bullshit.
Stop your whining and bitching.
Better yet, just go away.
Bwaha! Lolgfy
Goodness pups, don’t hold anything back. Although I agree with every word and could add a few more. Notice how he wines about the wealthy elite and he is one. And his wealth was amassed using our tax money. Really a first class turd.
Wines = whines blame kindle.
I don’t give a rat’s ass if you believe me or not you’re a fukin fascist so why should I? But all you need do is check out targetedadvance@sba.gov just as one small proof of truth. It’s the EIDL program. Just see what you have wrought. I wouldn’t have gotten it if they hadn’t sent it.
You have bragged here several times about how wealthy you are yet you begrudge my meager success, why? I worked for every dime I ever earned and what has it got me? Being called a White supremacist by the likes of you? Bah. I spit on your fascism and on the fools who, like you support it.
“Immigrants are OK as long as he can make money off them.” Remember my wife’s an immigrant you pasty faced White racist. You America hating turd, you were lucky to be born here she had to go through a mountain of shit to get what your White Privilege gave you at birth.
BTW, fascists like you are what she was trying to get away from, you Nazi dog. Playing the same race-bating games as your fellow traveler Adolph. Oh, and my wife is a far, far better American than you ever were or ever could be.
What the stolen election did not accomplish the War on Whites will finish off: the attachment of Heritage America to the United States government is over.
Finally, quite a few of those White cops, particularly those far from retirement, will be telling their wives they are quitting. The same will be happening with military families.
Urban streets soon will be far more violent. The Forever War against Russia and East Oceania will continue to be fought but without the support of Heritage America, and as a consequence it will be lost.
Clingy spouses only divorce after their partner walk out. The United States has walked out on Heritage America.
My success is built on two things – my own accomplishments and my good fortune of being born a healthy white male in a society that values that most of all.
You seem most proud of grabbing money from hard working taxpayers.
It’s your choice to wall yourself off as “Heritage America”, i.e., caucasian, christian, cis, males, and abandon the nation while sucking the blood of those that work here.
Take your heritage and shove it.
Rimjob left out that part about his successful career serving his country while in the Army.
Ooops!
Bwaha! Lolgf
Kye,
Liberals have a very difficult time understanding a desire to change, but have to give it time. As you said you joined the masses and got some of the artificial money being distributed, good.
A good way of explaining this to the mentally challenged liberal, is that right now everyone is playing football, but you think baseball is a better game and desire it, you make your point but play football until you can convince them that baseball is better.
It’s just another of their hypocritical judgement calls that capitalists can’t partake of their misguided socialist give-aways while they as socialists can live and thrive in our (mostly) capitalist society. Well screw Hairy and the rest of them. If they are dumb enough to put out free money based on race, I can beat them at their own game. And I will.
Just like the constant drumbeat of how great Tesla is (which it is) but Hairy won’t buy one or how fantastic the stock is but Hairy doesn’t own it he can bitch and moan all he wants about me taking the money his half-assed party is giving away but it won’t change a thing. I’m still takin’ the money as long as they are giving it away.
He supports the party that gives away his money to me than bitches when I have the common sense to take it! Looters and plunderers at core, profiteering off of the corruption they install, the left’s corruptocrats lie because they must. If they told people what they really intend…or even think…that would be very, very bad for them and they know it.
As for me, I’m takin’ whatever they’re givin’ away so fuk them. I’m tired of being called names for fighting for my country, building businesses, helping my neighbors, paying my taxes and never, not once being thanked only insulted. I’m not taking it any more.
Plus my neighbor suggested we start a local Patriots Club to help out fellow American loving White Christians who need help or just support subverting the leftist narrative. I like it. We can trade guns and ammo and prep for the inevitable purge which accompanies all Fascist-leftist takeovers.
I may be too old to fight any more but I’m not too old to support those who can. God Bless America.
John-please show where and when Trump ignored Covid. Good luck
“Hate crimes up against Asiansâ€. Yes, with the perpetrators usually being black.
“Right Wing ginning up Asian hateâ€. Do you have any specifics on that? Actually, it’s conservatives supporting court cases of liberal colleges discriminating against blacks.
“Electric vehicles up 44%â€. Which tells us nothing with out knowing the starting number. If there were only one car sold to begin with, then another sold, electric car sales would be up 100%, right?
Another idiotic post by our John boy…
‘Discriminating against Asians†obviously…
All the Biden Administration needs now is a 5-year plan.
The increasingly distraught and cynical Teach is absolutely beside himself, as pax trumpana dissolves before his eyes.
“Robots will replace workers under Biden!”, he cries. “American jobs are racist!”, he cries. “Biden doesn’t ride in EVs!”, he cries. “Unions!”, he cries.
Republicans hate unions because unions siphon leverage from the political elite class to the working class. The GOP’s raison d’etre is their unflagging support for the wealthy and corporations, while threading the needle by frightening white, working class voters with the “Great Replacement”.
