On December 9, the United Nations released an Emissions Gap Report that tracked the progress various nations are making on their commitments to the Paris Climate Accords to reduce carbon emissions to certain targets by 2030. The U.N. has released these reports every year since the accords were signed in 2015. The report highlights an inconvenient truth that many anti-carbon activists would rather ignore or minimize: The United States is already doing better at reducing its carbon emissions, despite having left the Paris agreements under President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, very few of the countries that signed the Paris agreement are living up to their (non-binding) commitments. |
