G-7 pledges put coal on notice, could boost climate aid

BERLIN (AP) — Officials from the Group of Seven wealthy nations announced Friday that they will aim to largely end greenhouse gas emissions from their power sectors by 2035, making it highly unlikely that those countries will burn coal for electricity beyond that date.

Ministers from the G-7 countries meeting in Berlin also announced a target to have a “highly decarbonized road sector by 2030,” meaning that electric vehicles would dominate new car sales by the end of the decade.

And in a move aimed at ending the recurring conflict between rich and poor nations during international climate talks, the G-7 recognized for the first time the need to provide developing countries with additional financial aid to cope with the loss and damage caused by global warming.

The agreements, which will be put to leaders next month at the G-7 summit in Elmau, Germany, were largely welcomed by climate activists.

Coal is a heavily polluting fossil fuel that’s responsible for a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans. While there are ways to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide from the burning of coal, experts say it is almost impossible to reduce it to zero, meaning it will likely have to be the first fossil fuel to be phased out.

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry called the agreements reached in Berlin “very comprehensive and forward-leaning.”

Climate Change Radicals are already doing more global damage than actual climate change (if indeed there is any) will ever do. But that’s a feature, not a bug.

You can bet your a$$ that the G-7 ministers and other officials and advocates will be unaffected by any and all rationing of electricity.

Little people? tough tacos.

I use to the scam was simply a way for third world nations to rip America off. Now I thing self destruction of the West was the goal of the scam all along. It is the Carbon Suicide Scam .

“Officials from the Group of Seven wealthy nations announced Friday that they will aim to largely end greenhouse gas emissions from their power sectors by 2035, making it highly unlikely that those countries will burn coal for electricity beyond that date.

Billionaires who flew to Davos on their private jets which emit more CO2 in one trip that most plebes emit in a year say those same plebes will be forced to give up their reliance on electrical energy from coal fired power plants to “save the planet”.

How about a worldwide mandate to ban private jets to “save the planet”?
