A chart shows a range of modeling studies' projections of US greenhouse gas emissions under current policies, showing a roughly 40-55% reduction below peak emissions in 2005 by 2035.

Today, the Biden Admin announced a new goal to cut US greenhouse gases 61-66% below peak levels by 2035. The current target is 50-52% by 2030. Based on several modeling efforts, including our REPEAT Project, the USA is on track to ~40-55% below peak by 2035, before Trump starts dismantling things.🔌💡
