Summary

Over 100 world leaders gathered in Glasgow to address what scientists call one of the world’s biggest threats: climate change. Prime Minister Modi announced India would pledge to become carbon neutral by 2070. Some smaller island nations responded with tepid encouragement saying the targets don’t go far enough. At the conference, President Biden apologized for the U.S. pulling out of the Paris Climate Accords during the Trump administration. A new court filing shows the breadth of documents former President Trump is attempting to keep from the January 6th House committee. New details in the lawsuit filed by Trump reveals he is seeking executive privilege to not release hundreds of pages of handwritten notes, draft documents, and daily logs his top advisers kept related to the capitol riot. The Biden White House said it would not be in the best interest of the US to keep the documents secret and thus would not keep them private.
