    China is leading the world in introducing alternate energy production. It sort of has to since it was starting to choke on coal

    They have and still are investing heavily in hydro wind and photovoltaic. And they have some impressive battery backup in the systems

    This is the tech America should have been leading the world in

    And they cancelled all there government subsidizes and are reneging on subsidies for existing projects. They have realized the magnitude of the economic damage that raising the price of energy causes. Meanwhile they continue to sell to the fools in the west.

    Emerging? Really?

    3X the GDP of Japan, almost 4X the GDP of Germany and 5X the GDP of India. Calling them "emerging" is just ridiculous.

    The EPA's Inspector General says I'm correct:

    It doesn’t get more hypocritical than A-listers jetting in on private planes to bemoan climate change at Google’s private party in Sicily this week.

    The Gulfstreams, mega-yachts and gas-guzzling Maserati SUVs used to ferry the wokerati around the seaside Google Camp have been spewing out greenhouse gases at the rate of small nations.

    Former President Barack Obama, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, singer Katy Perry and Prince Harry are said to be among 300 guests invited by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to their luxurious annual shindig which has been dubbed “Davos by the Sea.”
    https://nypost.com/2019/07/31/googl...limate-change-answers-is-a-hypocritical-joke/

    PRINCE Harry reportedly gave a barefoot speech at a Google climate retreat yesterday - to celebs who flocked in on 114 private jets and superyachts.

    So they can't find a solution without a private jet and mega yacht? They're not scientists, just egotistical and bored. They're there for the party. I can't believe you're naive enough to think there's 2 living brain cells among the whole lot of them and they might come up with a solution. It'd be great if they could find a solution to the **** covered streets of San Francisco. Or something even easier like trying to determine what gender they are.

    Yes, just as the EPA Inspector General concluded citing the rule of law.

    Too busy killing coal based on 2.5 micron particulate data which has never been released for public scrutiny nor repeated. By their “reasoning” there should have tens of thousands of deaths from the smoke of the wild fires here in Northern California last year.

    They all have to fly to some resort location for a vacation/conference. We have this wonderful thing called the internet. Wouldn't the "green" thing to do would be teleconference?
