UNITED NATIONS (AP) — With China leading the way by announcing its first emission cuts, world leaders said Wednesday they are getting more serious about fighting climate change and the deadly extreme weather that comes with it.
At the United Nations high-level climate summit, Chinese president Xi Jinping announced the world’s largest carbon-polluting country would aim to cut emissions by 7% to 10% by 2035. China spews more than 31% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.
Xi and Brazil’s leader also took thinly veiled swipes on Wednesday afternoon at U.S. President Donald Trump’s attacks a day earlier on renewable energy and the concept of climate change. “While some country is acting against it, the international community should stay focused on the right direction,” Xi said.
The announcement came as more than 100 world leaders gathered to talk of increased urgency and the need for stronger efforts to curb the spewing of heat-trapping gases.
With major international climate negotiations in Brazil 6½ weeks away, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres convened a special leaders summit Wednesday during the General Assembly to focus on specific plans to curb emissions from coal, oil and natural gas.
UN officials said countries really need to get their plans in by the end of the month so the U.N. can calculate how much more warming Earth is on track for if nations do what they promise. Former U.S. President Joe Biden submitted America’s plan late last year before leaving office and the Trump administration has distanced itself from the plan.

Trying to top Iran as the biggest bullshit artists.
Announcing are two different things. Let’s see if they do.
“I will lose 30 lbs. by 2035.”
I suppose naive young people might believe that. But as for me…
Communist China has no intentions of adhering to any kind of “climate goal”.
They only agree to it in order to get other countries to ease up on them. The CCP cannot be trusted.
Most of us on this forum know this, so I suspect you do too!

It’s a mental illness. These people need serious help.
Did China say 2035 and mean 2135?
Since that is a long way off, my death my make me lose far more, before that date arrives. 😁
China looking to boost its electric battery and solar panel businesses. Wait till all of Africa is littered with solar panel bone yards from solar panel arrays it bought from China with loans from China it cannot pay off.
I think it’s a bit further out than that.

No, by the aging population, their production will plummet and their one child policy will come back to kick their ass. Our God gave us a path to prosperity and it comes from our fidelity to the Word of God.

And,of course,we can depend on Red China to keep to these goals and accurately and honestly report the results.
