Janet Yellen asks China to co-operate on climate change action
BBC News ^ | July 8, 2023 | Kathryn Armstrong

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called on China to work with Washington to fight the "existential threat" of climate change.

Speaking on Saturday, she said the two countries - the largest greenhouse gas emitters - had a joint responsibility to lead the way on climate action.

She called on China to support the US-led Green Climate Fund.

Ms Yellen is on a four-day trip to Beijing in an attempt to boost relations between the two countries.

Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, who was among those to meet with Ms Yellen, said he regretted "unexpected incidents", such as the row over a spy balloon, had hurt ties with the United States.

There's been no formal co-operation between China and the US on climate change since the administration of former President Donald Trump.

And China briefly suspended climate talks entirely with the US last year after senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, which is self-ruled but Beijing sees as a breakaway province it will eventually unite with.

She's an idiot. China does not a sh*t give about the fake made up "climate change" con. Nothing that stupid bitch says to them will have any impact.

They are building coal plants as fast as they can.

I heard the largest coal fired plant in the world is in China.
Impressionable young Americans revere the Chinese as spiritual and close to the Earth in stopping American climate change carnage.

From officially allowed fellow travelers, the honorable NPR:
China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries, report finds. A new report finds that last year China permitted the equivalent of two coal plants per week. China’s renewable sector is also booming.Mar 2, 2023

She is an incompetent idiot. But she was not there for climate change. She is there for one and only one reason. BRICS are about a month away from their big meeting. They are very close to rolling out a gold backed trade currency.
Yallen is there on one desperate mission. It won’t happen immediately, but the day will come when China demands all settlements from us to be in the new gold backed BRICS money, not our increasingly inflated dollar.

What a moron !

China’s response is going to be along the lines of “F*ck you, Pay me !”

And even when they get paid they are not going to do anything because they know it is a fake crisis.

The only thing she seems worried about, is the part which doesn’t matter.

This is, in my mind, quite significant.

And I am not certain, we are ready.

Biden is worried about a part of one small country in Europe.

China is however about, it seems possible, to threaten America.

Young Americans not knowing who to mate with or what gender they are is not an existential threat?
30 plus trillion in US debt is not an existential threat?
The global corporations, our education system and the democratic party convincing us to hate who we are as Americans is not an existential threat?

Joe Biden is a puppet. Even when he was younger and lucid, he would have done this because it would have gotten him elected.

But it makes you wonder whether others in Biden Administration including Janet Yellen are true believers in the Climate Change Cult.

Problem is that an hour after the earth cools, it will be hot again.

China is probably supporting a lot of the climate-cretin propaganda in the West. It benefits China.

In all our stores are sold products by the dozens made in China. WE have made them rich.

But the left never seems interested in that fact. How dirty climate wrecking China is not interested in climate change action policies and still we buy all their stuff made with their dirty manufacturing.

Who’s the boss here?

None of these leftist believe in “climate change”. They play along because it increases their power.

Look at Germany, they closed their 3 remaining nuclear plants, at the behest of the Green Party, while expanding coal plants and actually expropriating an entire village to create a new coal mine.

All with the support of the Greens.

The don’t believe in CO2. They don’t even worry about air pollution.

It is all fake and a power grab.

I am sure that the well known far-Eastern trait of being overtly polite to guests is the only reason that the Chinese stayed awake during the hobbit’s presentation. It is a certainty that the chinks don’t give a flying fook about climate change.
