Biden, other leaders talk of next climate change steps

President Joe Biden tried on Friday to hammer out the world’s next steps against climate change with a small group of other global leaders and announced a new U.s.-european pledge to cut methane leaks.

“We have to act and we have to act now,” Biden said, speaking on a specially erected White House set that showed virtual arrays of solar panels in the background and a wall of other global leaders listening on screens.

Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, led a minister-level climate session later with China, Germany, India and Russia.
