As the world records hottest days research shows that U.S.A is reducing emissions to align with Paris Accord.

The Paris agreement’s main target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
The nation is on track to reduce emissions 38 percent to 56 percent below 2005 levels by 2035, according to a study by the Rhodium Group, an independent research firm that provides annual outlooks for U.S. global-warming emissions under current federal and state policy.
Worldwide emissions were up 1.1 percent last year compared with 2022 levels and 1.5 percent compared with pre-pandemic levels, though that largely continues a 10-year plateau, according to the Dorr School of Sustainability at Stanford University. Still, that hit a record level.
But progress shouldn’t be dismissed. In 2023, U.S. emissions were 18 percent lower than they were in 2005, the Rhodium study said.
Last year, the U.S. reduced emissions after two years of increases. But that didn’t meet climate targets set by the Biden administration.
Nevertheless, the study credited a variety of government actions – particularly those taken by President Joe Biden – for reducing emissions.

          All nations must as well join hands in reducing the toxic emissions.
