The future of children born today, if the left wins.

Limiting how much coal countries can burn is considered an urgent priority for restraining global heating. After all, coal is the most carbon-rich of all fossil fuels and its combustion has contributed the most to planetary warming. For the first time in international talks, negotiators agreed to "phase down" coal use to prevent global temperature rise exceeding 1.5°C in the 2021 Glasgow Climate Pact.
Coal's primacy in climate negotiations is partly because of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has devised pathways to halting warming at 1.5°C. These scientific assessments prioritize the rapid phasing out of coal burning not only for the fuel's carbon intensity and the need to head off CO₂ accumulation in the atmosphere, but also to encourage the availability of cost-competitive alternatives in the form of solar and wind farms.
Researchers also stress the importance of decarbonizing the power sector early in the green transition to enable other sectors, such as transport and industry, to run on clean electricity from the grid.
This puts the onus on certain nations to reduce emissions faster than others. The majority of global coal use can be found in emerging and developing countries, such as China and India. Here, large fleets of power stations and factories rely on coal which is cheap and abundant compared to other fossil fuels. By framing the solution to climate change as one in which coal is removed first, it is these countries that must commit to rapidly decarbonizing in the next decade.

Nah, don’t quit coal, quit insanity.
Stupidity is a virus. You catch it from the media..................
Uh, no. Next ridiculous statement which, if implemented, guarantees civil war, please.
And move to nuclear (4th gen reactors)
I identify as Indian or Chinese, so I can use all the Evil Carbon that I want.
Gee, I wonder how then the Heinz fortune boy is able to jet around the world lecturing about climate change?
“I identify as Indian or Chinese, so I can use all the Evil Carbon that I want.”
...while America pays the bills.
I’m sure the members of the IPCC will have plenty of fuel to fly their private jets from one country to the next.

Gas faster? Gas what faster? Their citizens of course.
I would LOVE to be in the room with Trump as he reads this article.
When I see a commercial on TeeVee at a friend's house [maybe once or twice a year], it's really weird.
I also know how to bypass the YouTube commercials...
China is building coal fired power plants.
Tell them to “Cut it out!”
That’ll fix it
If the nutsos want to quit coal.. go find an island and live there.
Why don’t you left Godless self appointed kings, leave the rest of us alone. This derailment in OH and the lack of concern for 5000 “insignificant” people living there ... and burning it for hours... where are the brains!!
You “important” people who are educated and have a high position of control... you lack any common sense.. Leaning on what the education gave .. you forgot about just plain common sense.

I could be wrong. But I’m not researching.
But isn’t warming, according to them, already 1.5C above Pre industrial temps?
Looks like they are moving the goalposts again. Just based on my own observations, which is by no means scientific, my area is actually cooling year to year. I don’t have a bunch of temp sensors sitting by my AC exhaust or anything. But being outside, a lot, and observing just normal day to day living, you know, golf, work, hiking etc....it hasn’t been as hot in the summer as was usual years ago.
But of course, that’s just regional....Which is pretty much what all weather is right?
Oh well, too cool...Global warming. Too wet. Same. Too dry. Climate change. Too hot, Warming....They always use examples that are regional then if your region is different then discount it as weather. Why is that?
Once China quits burning coal, we can then move on. And China isn’t a developing country anymore than West Virginia is.
Flame retardant suit required...
They don’t want us to own firearms. They don’t want us eating meat. They don’t want us using so called fossil fuels. They demand we take the clot shot because we shouldn’t have autonomy over our own bodies (except of course for women, or those who identify as such when they want abortions) Klaus Slob doesn’t want us to own anything. Yeah, there’s a pattern here 🤬
