WASHINGTON (AP) — Massive incentives for clean energy in the U.S. law signed Tuesday by President Joe Biden should reduce future global warming “not a lot, but…
Even with nearly $375 billion in tax credits and other financial enticements for renewable energy in the law, the United States still isn’t doing its share to help the world stay within another few tenths of a degree of warming, a new analysis by Climate Action Tracker says. The group of scientists examines and rates each country’s climate goals and actions. It still rates American action as “insufficient” but hailed some progress.
This is action, he said. Not as much as Europe, and Americans still spew twice as much heat-trapping gases per person as Europeans, Hare said. The U.S. has also put more heat-trapping gas into the air over time than any other nation. Even that best case scenario falls short of the overarching internationally accepted goal of limiting warming to 2.7 degrees warming since pre-industrial times. And the world has already warmed 2 degrees since the mid-19th century.
And China “won’t say this out loud, but I think will see the U.S. move as something they need to match,” Hare said.Article content
