A Biden cliché to save the planet



COP27: Joe Biden apologises for the US pulling out of the Paris climate agreement

President Joe Biden tells the COP27 climate conference that the US is a "climate leader," but observers say it needs to come good on promised cash and pollution cuts to live up to the claim.

Mr Biden, who re-joined the agreement within hours of taking office, told the COP27 climate conference in Egypt that his administration was "putting our money where our mouth is."

I'm not convinced that "putting our money where our mouth is" was a well-chosen cliché. Given Biden's erratic verbal performance, the money could end up anywhere.

'I'm not convinced that "putting our money where our mouth is" was a well-chosen cliché.'

His handlers did think of refining it to "putting the taxpayers' money where a few vociferous mouths are", but decided on the original.

The first thing Trump should do if he returns to office in 2024 is to pull the USA out of the Paris Agreement again and fix it to make it irrevocable.

And to think that John Prescott was the guiding light in the ridiculous Kyoto agreement!

It's all go, isn't it!

Sam - yes, the original manages to suggest that the money isn't going anywhere dubious.

Tammly - the screeching would be off scale of course.

dearieme - telling us they don't really care how it looks.

Scrobs - a Prescott style punch-up would add a touch of interest.
