China declares itself global climate leader

14 comments

1. China has moved to take up the mantle of global leadership on climate change by announcing new targets for reducing carbon emissions over the next ten years.

   Fresh off the back of President Trump’s speech to the United Nations, in which he poured scorn on the science of climate change, calling it the “greatest con job in history”, the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, struck a radically different pose.

   On Tuesday, in advance of a climate change summit at the UN, the Chinese prime minister Li Qiang described global warming as one of the “major challenges” facing the world and said that China would “promote the green transition of global development”

2. This is clever by China. Making Trump the loser and disconnected to the modern era and potentially younger generations;future world. ‘Interesting times’.

3. Sounds about right. Republicans would barely exist without fossil fuel industry campaign contributions and access to their think tanks. That’s why Trump calls it a scam. Simple math proves him wrong.

   America should be selling alt energy products globally by now. And be debt free.

4. Brought to you by Republicans and their short sighted policies.

5. They didn’t say it, they declared it

6. honestly, they are. they have gone all in on solar and wind, sunsetting their coal plants, invested in electric transportation.

   They win, we suck in the US because we have knuckleheads that derail anything positive because they are sucking on the big oil money bag.

7. Trump is creating a power vacuum so large with his ineptitude that China is absolutely gonna step in to fill it and gain a ton of power throughout the world all because he’s still mad Scotland built a wind farm near a golf course

8. We need more: “Trump is a loser and can’t handle climate disasters.”

9. Well coal still represents more than half of their electricity mix and China remains the single largest globar CO2 emitter.

10. And I declare myself the sexiest man alive, because that’s how it works

11. I too am global climate leader!

12. Must be all those suicide nets at the bottom of the super fun work factories, those are the real MVPs.

13. Sounds like something Michael Scott would do

14. Dominant Power Source: Coal remains the single largest source of electricity and energy consumption in China. In 2023, for example, coal accounted for about 61% of China’s total electricity generation and around 61-62% of its total energy supply.
