Bull crap!!! We're not even as warm as the Roman Climate Optimum from 2,000 years ago. It's not like people were dying out because of global warming. Quite the opposite, the climate was the best for human survival.

As parts of the Northern Hemisphere reach heat close to the limits of human survival, Chinese leader Xi Jinping declared in remarks reported Wednesday that Beijing alone will decide how — and how quickly — it addresses climate change.
China’s world-leading emissions totaled 11.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide in 2022, according to the Global Carbon Project, a decline of less than 1 percent from 2021 levels.
China has surpassed the United States as the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, and approved the construction of dozens of coal plants last year even as it added more renewable power.
China would pursue its commitments “unswervingly,” but the pace of such efforts “should and must be” determined without outside interference, Xi’s approach marked a break from the 2015 Paris climate accord, where a Chinese-U.S. agreement paved the way for the international goal of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels.
The effect of heat-trapping gases has reverberated across the globe in recent weeks, as historic heat waves have enveloped China, southern Europe, the Middle East and North America and massive wildfires have incinerated forests from Canada to Greece. Rising average temperatures intensified by the El Niño climate pattern put 2023 well on course to be the hottest year since humanity started keeping track.
The heat index reached 152 degrees in the Middle East — nearly at the limit for human survival

Xi’s message — delivered at the same time Kerry was in town — was no coincidence, according to Li Shuo, a senior policy adviser for Greenpeace East Asia. Xi was showing that “China will decide its own path in achieving carbon goals and will not be ordered about by others,” he said.

Bull crap!!! We're not even as warm as the Roman Climate Optimum from 2,000 years ago. It's not like people were dying out because of global warming. Quite the opposite, the climate was the best for human survival.
Gee. More lies and propaganda from the Washington Post. What a shock.
“As the world sizzles...”
Yes, in the Northern Hemisphere, because it is summer.
In the winter, the world will freeze.
China dropped out of the 2015 Paris climate agreement, they now admit they have no CO2 goals. So why are Europe and the US etc. punishing ourselves trying to restrict C02 emissions? When we can’t make a dent, when China produces as much CO2 as it pleases?
I say don’t be part of the Paris accords even if China and India are part of them. The entire global warmageddon cult is a scam anyway.
Good for China. These accords are a scam.
what is that old chinese saying?
when an enemy is destroying itself....
A scam it is! A fear driven scam, same as the C19 vaxxx-o-rama.
Warmth and CO2 promote life.
Highest levels were during the time of the mega flora and mega fauna.
Dinosaurs didn’t drive cars.
Chinese fly ash from over a thousand coal fired power plants without scrubbers across east Asia is altering global weather patterns.
Man doesn’t impact climate, period!
China is riding a steed and the rest of the world, including the US, is riding a hobbyhorse. Who will win that race?

Despite Pledges to Cut Emissions, China Goes on a Coal Spree
WebChina is building large numbers of coal-fired power plants to drive its post-pandemic economy. The government has promised a CO2 emissions peak by 2030, but the new …
Are you serious? China does not use scrubbers on its coal fired power plants? This is crazy and hurts the health of the Chinese people. While CO2 emissions does not, and CO2 is not a pollutant.
I remember say 10-15 years ago about Chinese Fly Ash being detected in California and Colorado. The response here in the US, put even further restrictions on particulates.
In other words BLAME/PUNISH the American Public for CHINESE POLLUTION!!!!!
It is stupid to import solar panels to replace natural gas generated electricity from a country like China that heavily relies on coal for electricity production.
In other words, even if what the climate catastrophists say is true (which it’s not), nothing we do in North America or Europe matters in the least.
Good move.
