Obama said China and Russian leaders’ absence at COP26 displayed a “dangerous lack of urgency” in cutting their own climate-wrecking emissions
Barack Obama has expressed confidence at UN climate talks that the Biden administration will ultimately get its $555 billion climate package through Congress, and faulted US rivals China and Russia for what he called a “dangerous lack of urgency” in cutting their own climate-wrecking emissions and not joining the climate talks in Glasgow.
His comments came as conference leaders acknowledged on Monday that many key sticking points exist after a week of talks.
