Joe Biden to create tackling climate change a good national security priority

US President Joe Biden's administration next week will release more guidelines it believes are needed to tackle climate switch and is urging China to toughen among its targets on greenhouse gas emissions, his leading climate advisors said on Saturday.

Gina McCarthy, the White House's national weather advisor, didn't say what policies will be released. A memo seen by Reuters on Thursday showed Mr Biden will unveil a second circular of executive orders as soon as January 27 that include an omnibus buy to combat climate switch domestically and elevate the problem as a national reliability priority.

"We've already sent signals on the things that we don't like that we're going to roll back, but this week you're going to find us progress with what's the vision into the future," Ms McCarthy advised a virtual appointment of the US Conference of Mayors.

Mr Biden, a good Democrat who took office on January 20, quickly issued executive orders canceling the Keystone XL pipeline that could import tar sands essential oil from Canada and rejoining the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

Both of those movements reversed former President Donald Trump's policies. During his four years in workplace, Mr Trump rolled again about 100 regulations on environment and the environment as he pursued a policy of "strength dominance" to maximise productivity and exports of oil, gas and coal.

John Kerry, Mr Biden's special climate envoy, said a recently available pledge by China, the world's leading greenhouse gas emitter, was "not good enough."

In September, Chinese President Xi Xingping set an objective for his country to be carbon neutral by 2060, a decade after the 2050 time frame favoured by virtually all countries, while also pledging a far more ambitious short-term goal on emissions.

As secretary of talk about under past President Barack Obama in 2015, Mr Kerry helped bring China to the desk at the UN environment conference in Paris. Now, the Biden administration offers begun to use diplomatic pressure on countries to do the job harder on weather, said Mr Kerry.

He talked on Fri with overseas ministers in Europe, who told him that they had high expectations for the Biden administration just after too little action on environment in the Trump years.

"'Yeah, we realise we come back with humility,'" Mr Kerry said he advised the ministers, adding that most US states and a lot more than 1,000 mayors continuing to go ahead on climate through the Trump years.

AMERICA, the world's second top rated emitter, must do better than addressing net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, perhaps through emerging technologies such as capturing skin tightening and directly from the air, Mr Kerry said.

Tackling climate change didn't mean a diminishment of standard of living, such as driving less or not having the ability to eat meats, he explained. The Biden administration, mayors and different local leaders will have to persuade Americans that curbing climate transformation "can be the greatest financial transformation in global record," Mr Kerry said.
