China orders 300 million more tonnes of coal to be mined a year

Did this move the needle? In a word, yes:

Global coal production in 2019 is estimated at 7.9 billion tonnes, increasing by 116 million tonnes from 2018.

And they do this with a smirk on their face, then wipe it off and go on the cameras to talk about how irresponsible and selfish the United States is about Global Warming.

Then, when the cameras shut off, they turn to each other...

300 million tons and what do we get?
Another year older and more yuans in debt
Chairman Xi dont ya call me cause I can’t go
Cause I owe my Commie soul to people’s progressive store.

Yet the Extinction Rebellion nutcases continue to glue themselves to stuff and disrupt traffic. Like tiny UK ruining itself cutting its carbon emissions would help anything even IF AGW is real.

[Huskrrrr]

Good one!

Proving that “Global Warming” is a sucker’s game.

It has taken Obama nine years but his promise to bankrupt coal fired electric generation in America is being rapidly fulfilled.

[frank ballenger]

Don’t encourage me.

While the European unwashed starve and freeze in the dark

[Noumenon]

I see that 80% of their ground water is contaminated.

[DoughtyOne]

And let me guess. We’ll be buying.

God, we’re dumb!

While the Biden administration is shutting down coal plants here in the U.S.

China will be warm this winter. The rest of the world will be begging to pay exorbitant prices for coal.

[wgmalabama]

Mexico should be building coal plants all ove northern Mexico to sell electricity to the dumb Americans.

Meanwhile out here on the west coast at a nearby port there is a near CONSTANT stream of train cars carrying coal headed TO the port. I assume we’re shipping it to China.

[rlmorel]

There are a lot of people who support this who are in for a rude awakening when when the ability to heat their homes diminishes next winter.

There will be a time when simply increasing the prices won’t be enough, because the ability to produce more and make a profit won’t be a viable option.

If they froze to death in their damned houses I honestly wouldn’t give a crap. But that won’t happen just to them. Many of us are going to go down too.

Insanity.

Does this mean lotsa libiot heads are gonna explode?
