Countries are gathering in Brazil at the COP30 summit to take stock of climate change. As in past summits, the negotiations are starting on the back foot: countries already aren't meeting their goals to cut heat-trapping emissions from burning fossil fuels.
The world has barely budged in its efforts to combat climate change compared to one year ago, according to a new report from the United Nations. If countries stay on that track, the planet will warm by about 5 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, compared to the pre-industrial temperatures of the mid-1800s. That's slightly better than projections made last year, which showed 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit of warming – but much of that progress could soon be cancelled out by the U.S.

I sure am glad my tax dollars are no longer supporting this drivel.
Most of all, picking the pockets of the American taxpayers.
President Trump said it best: the US is no longer your piggy bank to rob.
China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia there?
“As far as countries need to go”?!
…as far as their gas guzzling, multi engine, luxury jets and then gas guzzling limos can take them!!
Here's a clue for you Sherlock. You're going directly into the trash bin of history. Have fun with your diversity morons.
Yup...Live near Lake Ontario...went to the beach 70 years ago...nothing has changed..
USA folks did go...just not on our dime.

Climate change is simply an excuse for the transfer of wealth from the first world to everyone else.
I would love to tell Lauren Sommers how far to go. (Away from the US).
The make this statement as if they can predict the future with absolute certainty:
“If countries stay on that track, the planet will warm by about 5 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, compared to the pre-industrial temperatures of the mid-1800s.”
Complete insanity. No one knows what the temperature, overall will be in 75 years. No one can know it. To claim this as fact is an egregious lie.
Can’t be. I was promised in 1980 that world would end in twenty years.
There was at least one program where Fred Flintstone told viewers oil would be gone by now.
Even Bill Nye said the jury was out regarding global warming, back when Exxon was sponsoring at Epcot.
“here’s how far countries need to go”.
It will be a cold day in Hell when some A**hat reporter from NPR can tell “countries” what they “need” to do.
“Taryn Finnessey, managing director of the U.S. Climate Alliance.” was there.
Wow, impressive! What would Taryn be doing for a living if the climate grift machine stopped working?
This again. The people who flew into a rainforest in private jets and drove to the conference on a brand-new freeway that 100,000 trees were cut down to construct are going to tell us that world socialism is the answer, where the rich countries give all their money to the poor ones and everyone lives happily ever after. That’s how fairy tales usually end, isn’t it?
How do we get rid of NPR once and for all?
That is how far we need to go.
