The White House said the U.S. would seek by 2025 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent to 28 percent below a baseline level from 2005. At the same time, China said it intended to begin reversing the rise of its carbon emissions by 2030 and to increase the share of nuclear, wind, solar and other zero-emission power to 20 percent of all of its energy consumption by that year.
Curious phrasing there. It indicates a 1/4 cut to emissions (industry) in the US by 2025, yet China won't start cutting theirs until 2030. More jobs leaving the US and going to China.
