Climate Change Copenhagen – Can We Trust China?
Posted on November 27th, 2009 No commentsClimate Change Copenhagen
Recent reports of China’s “commitment” to reducing its massive contribution to climate changing pollution by reducing carbon emissions has been welcomed by some as a heads up prior to the United Nations Conference focusing on climate change in Copenhagen during December 2009
‘Beijing said it would aim to reduce its “carbon intensity” by 40-45% by the year 2020, compared with 2005 levels.’
Can we trust China?
It is incredible how many people continue to believe in the lies and and are fooled by the deceptive games the Chinese regime continues to play with the world.
China is still a poor country (money-wise). But if there is no control of the pollution in China, their next generation will suffer not only poor health conditions but also a possible poorer economics too (think about the rising health care spending’s and less working population due to the poor health condition).
It has been widey reported that China has been building many coal fired power plants over the past few years. No details about the types of plants or their efficiency. New coal fired plants in the USA are higher efficiency plants than those built 40 years ago (and cost substantially more to build).
It is possible that China is “stacking the deck” by building many lower-technology lower-cost inefficient plants; this will make it relatively easy for them to substantially reduce emissions: replace these new but inefficient plants with newer plants that have higher efficiency.
Effects of Climate Change
It is good to see that the Chinese government finally realize pollution control is for the sake of its own destiny as well. Let’s just hope they have realistic and effective polices to back these goals up. The effects of climate change are already being recorded in China with warnings that the Yangtze delta, China’s most populous river needs massive investment and careful planning to ease the impact of climate change, which is causing floods, droughts and storms to intensify, a new report (pdf) said today.
