EU calls on China to stop building coal plants and contribute to a climate fund for poor nations
Ass. Press/ABC News ^ | November 16, 2023 | Staff Propagandists

Europe and the U.S. have been arguing that wealthier emerging economies such as China and Saudi Arabia should also give money to the fund. Hoekstra said that what is true for the European Union and North America should be true for any country in a position of economic and geopolitical strength.

“And that means driving down emissions and doing your fair share in covering the bill for those who cannot,” he said.

Given the magnitude of the problem, “every single country with the ability to pay and the ability to contribute should contribute,” he said.

A statement issued by China’s environment ministry did not address the climate fund for poor countries. It said that Ecology and Environment Minister Huang Runqiu told Hoekstra that he is looking forward to working with the EU for a successful U.N. climate meeting. Success would help build a fair, reasonable, cooperative and win-win system to address climate change, he said.

It never made sense for us to shutter our economicly viable coal plants which have been equipped with modern polution control systems, and to invest in the more expensive green energy sources, while China and India build more economical coal plants. Just stupid to burden our economies and allow competitors to overtake us.

Marxist command and control economists want to direct other countries on how to provide energy for their economies, and who to give money to. All in the name of climate change.

Yeah, right. Global warming is not about global warming. It’s about stealth communism, which China doesn’t need.

China is ignoring our ridiculous pursuit of Climate Change Goals. They recognize that Fossil Fuels will be the mainstay of Energy for decades to come and all these alternate pursuits are just a waste of time and money.

“A climate fund for poor nations”. ROTFL. I knew once the raggedy-ass politicians legalized drugs, they could get the ignorant fools to buy any crap they shoveled on them. Especially those who don’t pay taxes.

China believes they are the “Middle Kingdom” destined to rule the planet—over the idiot Eurocrats.

The only “climate” they plan for is a boot stomping the pale skins faces into the mud.

China is facing probably the worst economic crisis of any nation in history. Their growth at any cost economy has resulted in non-economic fast rail systems and arguably the largest highway to nowhere build-out in history. They are heading for de-industrialization and the lights going out. Building coal plants is probably the last big save-the-economy investment that makes any sense and if they don’t do it then if the oil stops flowing the Chinese people will be sitting in the dark and starving. This is a recipe for people rioting and that scares the government more than anything. They will continue building coal plants for the foreseeable future and NOTHING will stop that.

Still in pursuit of a non-existent problem, one that cannot be solved. It was never about the “climate,” it was always about taxation and control.

China continues to start up TWO new large coal power plants every WEEK.

At best, they’ll toss a few bucks to a “climate fund” for poor countries, keep right on building them and laugh at the stupidity of westerners.

If China to stop building coal plants how are they going to supply the U.S. and the rest of the world with electric cars and electric stoves.
