Biggest Polluter Won’t Attend Climate Summit, Kerry Pessimistic On Progress
xi jinpingUpdate: As if to confirm the shitshow we expected below, just two weeks before a crucial summit in Rome, Bloomberg reports that the world’s major economies are gridlocked in their efforts to agree on concrete steps to tackle climate change.
Preparatory talks between G-20 officials this week failed to end in an agreement to reduce coal subsidies and curb methane emissions.
There wasn’t even a consensus on striving toward net-zero emissions and limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees from pre-industrial levels, according to three people familiar with the matter.
China and India, two of the world’s biggest emitters and largest coal users, have failed to submit updated climate pledges.
One person described the negotiating round as a disaster.
