Lula Hopes U.S. Will Rejoin Climate Fight

“Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called late Wednesday for a global winding-down of fossil fuels — and said he hoped to someday get the U.S. behind it,” Politico reports.

Said Lula: “We must reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If fossil fuels emit too much, we must begin thinking about how to live without them.”

He said he hoped “one day to convince the president of the United States that the climate crisis is serious, that green development is necessary.”
