At climate summit, nations want more from the U.S.: 'There's just a trust deficit'The U.S. has a mixed record in international climate negotiations, with a trust deficit among other nations and climate advocates.The U.S. remains a major polluter, emitting more greenhouse gases than any country but China.
U.S. Carbon Emissions Set to Fall Again, a Key Sign of ProgressU.S. emissions are projected to fall by up to 3% in 2023, reversing two years of flat or increasing output.The decrease in emissions is notable as it comes while the U.S. economy is set to expand.Meeting the Paris climate accord goals would require a yearly emission reduction of roughly 6% through 2030.
