WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden plans to skip the upcoming climate talks in Dubai (which he has attended twice before), an event that is expected to draw heads of state and diplomats from more than 200 nations and the Vatican. White House officials said the administration is sending a climate team, including Special Envoy John Kerry, climate adviser Ali Zaidi and clean energy adviser John Podesta. Biden had also pledged to visit Africa before the end of the year but that trip doesn’t appear to be happening, either.
