yeah this is a call to action by joe biden the u.s. president but it's also recognizing that the united states plays a pivotal role in terms of leadership and so this is what this message was it had really 2 messages within it one for the international audience for world leaders that are gathered here at this summit it resolving to take action the united states saying it's leading by example making that announcement of cutting its own emissions up from the targets of the obama administration so this is the sort of 1st part of it and it is also to let people know that as we've heard from joe biden repeatedly america is back to the 4 years of donald trump and denials of climate science have come and gone but there's another message tucked in all of this too and that is for the domestic audience the fact is that if these lofty goals put forward by the us president are to be met it will mean a significant change of american patterns in terms of their energy use specifically when it comes to the type of cars that they drive because right no
