Liz Peek: Joe Biden, after 100 days, finally talks truth -- cutting US carbon emissions won't matter

President Joe Biden, contrary to expectations, said something consequential in his first address to members of Congress…by mistake.

This is what he said, according to a New York Times transcript of the president’s remarks: "The United States accounts, as all of you know, for less than 15 percent of carbon emissions. The rest of the world accounts for 85 percent. That’s why I kept my commitment to rejoin the Paris Accord, because if we do everything perfectly, it’s not going to matter."  That was not in the version of the speech the White House handed out ahead of time.
