UN report: Climate pollution reductions ‘highly inadequate’

UNDATED (AP)- A new UN report shows that countries aren’t doing enough to cut emissions of heat trapping gases. Nor are they doing it fast enough. Thursday’s report says even nations’ promises are falling pitifully short. The world is looking more and more likely it will shoot by the international goal of limiting warming to just a few more tenths of a degree. The report focuses on the 20 richest nations, which are the biggest polluters, and they are doing badly. But the United Nations environment chief is hailing the United States for its recent $375 billion climate and inflation law.
