quote:

For production, China’s December coal output was 2.1% higher than it was in 2017, hitting the highest level in over three years.


quote:

China approved nearly $6.7 billion worth of new coal mining projects in 2018, and production increased 5.2% to 3.55 billion tonnes.


quote:

Carbon Brief reported last summer that China quietly has 210,000 MW of new coal capacity in the works, or nearly a 25% expansion.


quote:

China actually now accounts for 45% of the coal-based electricity generated in the world, compared to 37% back in 2010.



Socialist leftists like AOC want the US to emit almost nothing but never mention the actual problem (China and India).

Liberals are the dumbest fricking people on Earth. Go walk into the ocean PLEASE

Drastically reduce our access to natural resources and lower or kill our overall productivity, then other countries like China will fill those voids with the quickness

I don't think you understand the argument. Nobody is calling for increased pollution here.

China entered an agreement that should reduce carbon emissions and is announcing plans to increase their carbon emissions.

The U.S. left the same agreement a couple of years ago because it regulated our industries while we paid economic competitors to not regulate at all.

This:

Is a great analogy.

The current Chinese move with coal seems to justify the U.S. withdrawal.

I called this 2 yrs ago when we left the PCA.

Chinese corporations were planning to build 600 new coal plants in other Asian countries completely against the PCA. It was a loophole because the agreement only states a reduction in coal plants within your own country.

Stupid AOC suckups. DO you NOT understand that the atmosphere cannot tell the difference between Chinese and American CO2? It does not matter who makes it. Stupids.

If we don't make any and wreck our economy, and the Chinese make more, it won't make any difference. Except we will be like Venezuela.

Not to mention a good chunk of the signatories stood to make bank off of the massive wealth redistribution, primarily from the US.

This is the actual goal of any environmental agreement or legislation, without any exception that I’ve ever heard of.

This is fricking retarded. So because China and India are really bad about it means it's ok for us not to give a shite. What a fricking idiot you are.

You probably actually believed what CNN spoon fed you

If you believe in climate change or not we should do our part and lead by example because it's the right thing to do.
