On Friday, President Joe Biden boasted how his administration has taken
“unprecedented” climate actions at home and abroad during a speech at
COP27 in Egypt. But officials from developing countries remain skeptical
that the United States will be able to deliver on the president’s
pledges, with Biden facing an unsettled political situation at home
following last week’s midterm elections. POLITICO’s Zack Colman breaks
down the president’s climate message to the world, new actions he
announced and what skeptics are saying. Plus, the Environmental
Protection Agency’s plan to sharply curb methane leaks from the oil and
gas sector calls for more inspections and tightened restrictions to
reduce flaring of the gas.
