That the globe is in, that the world is in, but also a level of urgency in the sense of you dont know whats going to happen a few years from now. the u.s. has been a pendulum swinging back and forth over the course of the last 30 years that this bill has laid out so clearly and that the administration wants to underscore. were here now. now is the time to make these changes and now is the time to make the commitments and now is the time to put in concrete action where its the largest economies i...

Agreement, all of the countries in the world agreed to put money into a green climate fund to help countries developing without depending on fossil fuels and to help them adapt and prepare for the impacts they can to avoid anymore. and to date the latest analysis i saw said that the united states only contributed 20% of what it promised to the green climate fund. canada, 40%, the only country thats contributed all of that as the latest news i saw was norway. these are the two things that will be...

Announced. what were missing is two things. first, as you say, weve got to ratchet up the commitments of each country during the 2020s, otherwise well never get to the 1.5 degrees we need to be at. equally, you have to help developing countries, the same as vaccination, you have to give them financial support to enable them to do the mitigation and adaptation. its a tragedy that after 11 years we promised this $100 billion financing to the poorer countries 11 years ago and we never reached it. w...
