China and the European Union will seek on Friday to save an international pact against climate change that U.S. President Donald Trump appears to be set to pull out of.
As China emerges as Europe's unlikely global partner on areas from free trade to security, Premier Li Keqiang will meet top EU officials at a summit in Brussels that will also discuss North Korea's missile tests.
In a statement backed by all 28 EU states, the European Union and China will commit to full implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement, EU and Chinese officials said.
The joint statement, the first between the China and the EU, commits to cutting back on fossil fuels, developing more green technology and helping raise $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poorer countries cut emissions.
"The EU and China consider climate action and the clean energy transition an imperative more important than ever," the statement, by European Council President Donald Tusk, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and China's Li, will say.
"The increasing impacts of climate change require a decisive response."

As U.S. moves toward reality, Europe digs into fantasy
Good
You guys waste all your money doing nothing.
We’ll just keep Americans free from your intervention and money-grabbing mitts.
Partnering with China to combat “climate change” is like partnering with Dracula in a blood donation drive.
E X C E L L E N T
as if China is going to do anything
LMAO
Seriously?
“helping raise $100 billion a year by 2020 to ...” pass out to their cronies- for a cut.
Good. China won’t do jack squat. Looks like Europe is actively seeking ways to commit suicide.
“as if China is going to do anything”
China doesn’t have to do anything for 10 years according to this Paris “treaty” anyhow, so their words are worthless. Let them step and fall into the void. Better them than us.
What?!?
China doesn’t participate in climate alarmism.
The Paris agreement doesn't require them to do anything until 2030 along with India. Pretty good deal for the Chinese. They can help the EU destroy itself as a competitor.
China?
Not until 2030, at which point we’re in a solar minimum anyway.
Maybe their pollution will override all particulate matter over the earth too.
“As China emerges as Europe’s unlikely global partner on areas from free trade to security...”
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!
Private equity firms have been pulling out of China en masse since 2011. That money is going to SE Asia and India. China is dying as a world power. Hell, the dumbass ChiComm apes can’t even float a used carrier given them by the Russians 10 years ago.
India will be the new super power in Asia by 2030. And China can’t do squat about it.
Wow, they found someone stupid enough to take our seat at the Climate Change Hoax table much quicker than I expected!!!!
LOL
That guy is a wierd sort of national treasure. Love his lampoons...
I agree with that.
So the EU will go from the U.S. that won’t do anything to China that won’t do anything.
Ahhhhh, ever so much better.
LOL
