The Chinese are not going to strangle their economy over climate change, and neither should we.

Democrats want us to give up clean coal but the Chinese don’t have to give up theirs.

Funny how we’re the ones who have to make all the sacrifices to keep Guam from capsizing.

Send Greta “how dare you” Thunberg to lecture them.

I wonder if Greta speaks Mandarin. If not, her message may get lost in translation. Her “how dare you” histrionics likewise, may just not translate to the Chinese.

China doesn’t need to switch to “renewable energy”...they’re already Communist.

IMO this is about hard currency in the era of one Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. China has to pay hard currency for natural gas from places other than the former USSR, but not for their own coal.

Notice that China has also They'stopped enlarging their new "islands" in the South China Sea, or adding more, and also cut way back on future naval construction. Both of those are due to recent hard currency shortages caused by American tariffs.

If you are building 1200 new coal fired power plants reducing the use of coal was never a goal, sigh, these tools are just plain brain dead

China produces a lot of real pollution. But the leftscum could not care less. They want to cripple America and the West. That’s the entire goal of the man-made global warming scam.

“The Chinese are not going to strangle their economy over climate change, ...” but Oregon, Washington and Montana will as they close all their coal plants. Recently, (Local Portland TV investigator) brown outs will occur in the PNW in 4 to 6 years.

there is no valid reason to “wean” off coal other than unavailability and cost.
