China, world’s largest carbon polluting nation, announces new climate goal to cut emissions

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.

Announcing are two different things. Let’s see if they do.

So China is going to cut emissions to reach climate goals.

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!

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.

They are lying about their intention to do anything and they will lie and tell you they are doing something when they are doing nothing.

China lies.

About everything.

All the time.
