Worse because:
- 28% of 40% (between them) it's only down by 11,2% on the 2030 / 2040 horizon;
- except that by then, energy-related emissions will increase by 20%, tells us the RTS:

It's a simple announcement effect, nothing more ... the American president did only what the political logic ordered him to do:
1) Take "measures" to calm the (weak) citizen protest which tends to grow in view of the severe climatic phenomena of its last years ...
2) Do not make radical changes to avoid the wrath of oil / gas lobbies.
As far as the Chinese are concerned, their measures are only aimed at stabilizing their emissions in line with the forecasts of economic and demographic growth of their countries (which amounts to a measure = 0).
In conclusion, the goal of the two giants and not to issue more based on a year or they emitted a lot! This is totally insufficient, because it would be necessary to emit almost nothing to hope for a change of deal.
