Actually, judging by its actions, the US has not abandoned climate action. It's the only way I can explain why it is planning the collapse of its own economy.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Good. Trump is not who you want at a climate meeting.
At any meeting really
At all, maybe?
I wonder if he would have wanted to be at that meeting
Of course, but only because he wasnt invited.
It's a gift link. Folks with Javascript enabled just get the article without needing that.
The US has been a petro-state for over a decade. Can't imagine what they could bring to the table at this point. Probably the most effective policy towards the US is the same one applied to Iran or Cuba.
A “certain major country” is keen on unilateralism and protectionism and has caused “serious impact” on international rules and order, Xi also said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
That's rich coming from China. They have never supported or even participated in the rules based order. From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc...
From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…
At this point you could literally be talking about the US with this sentence.
What do you mean? 'Murica doesn't use anything uncouth as foreign police stations; they only have sparkling extradition treaties and Interpol! Don't put The Leaders of the Free World™ with the barbaric Chinese!
/s obviously screw them both.
Our last standing differentiator was IP law, until we got weapons of mass IP destruction in the form of AI companies and LLMs.
And? Do you you think multiple countries can't be major issues?
He's pointing out that they're the pot calling the kettle black
No, the pot and kettle can both be black, that's the entire point of the expression.
Your statement is missing the point, then.
No it isn't. You were trying to cast China in a harsher light for doing "for decades" most of the same things the US has been doing (also mostly for decades).
Everyone sucks in this situation.
But the question is, is he wrong here?
Wrong in the sense that they have been doing everything they accuse the US of doing for decades.
That you can make such grossly hypocritical statements publicly means you aren't serious about anything.
The rules based order has always been a farce. Doesn't excuse the evil shit they do, but let's not pretend the West was respecting the rules it set up.
And yet, there's nothing inaccurate in his statement.
That article is very light on detail. I wanted to know if my government was represented, but the article doesn't even show a list of all the countries participating.
Isn't Bloomberg supposed to be the source of reliable global business information that's informing the business leaders of the world, or is this just another random journalism by billionaire outfit?
This was the most complete list I could find.
-
President Xi Jinping of China
-
President Emmanuel Macron of France
-
President William Samoei Ruto of Kenya
-
Prime Minister Hilda Heine of the Marshall Islands
-
African Union, chaired by President João Lourenço of Angola
-
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its chair, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia
-
the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), chaired by President Surangel Whipps Jr. of the Republic of Palau
-
the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), chaired by Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados.
And two more more from another source.
-
UN Secretary-General António Guterres
-
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
17 national leaders from major economies and climate-vulnerable countries (participated)
Thank you.
Glad to help. :)
