WASHINGTON (AP) - This week s climate change summit features lots of talk from different nations about their goals for reducing carbon emissions. But in the weird world of national climate pledges, numbers often aren´t quite what they seem.
Sometimes a 55% reduction is about equal to 50% to 52%. Sometimes it´s even less. Sometimes it´s way more.
As part of the Paris climate agreement process, each nation picks its own national goals for how much greenhouse gas should be cut by 2030 and - crucially - what baseline year it starts counting from for those cuts. That makes it difficult to compare countries´ emissions-cutting pledges to see who is promising more.

RHITU CHATTERJEE, HOST: It s been a big week for climate change. President Biden is gathering with world leaders to talk about how to prevent its most catastrophic effects. And two of NPR s very own climate reporters are here to talk about how that might work. Lauren Sommer. Hi, Lauren.
LAUREN SOMMER, BYLINE: Hi.
REBECCA HERSHER, BYLINE: Hey there.
CHATTERJEE: Hello. Now, climate change wasn t really a priority in the last four years of the Trump administration, so what s the main goal of this White House climate summit?
HERSHER: This is basically America s way of saying, we re back. Climate is a priority again. And the U.S. wants the rest of the world to know that and to establish itself as a trustworthy partner for other countries, if it can.
