... The planet's highest volume polluter, the large country butted up against Hong Kong, is gonna no-show. "China is presently a carbon nightmare. Its emissions have surpassed that of the entire Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development members combined, and continue to grow ... While Xi has pledged to stop building further coal plants abroad, China has been on a domestic coal binge. Nearly 60 per cent of its domestic power is generated by coal, and it continues to expand its capacity." So I'm a bit of a slow wit at times, and since the largest polluter has Xi-ro intentions of reducing it's "carbon footprint", it's just dawning on me that AOC's Green New Deal can't be even a little about the environment. Silly me.

And dog gone it ... if one of those crazy Woodstock music festivals has the wrong guests on it's list, they can turn all the recharge stations off, you know, for "sensible public safety" 😎 7 likes

hobbit0717 That's what a lot of people in the US don't understand China is a huge polluter, and the Dems call the U.S. out as the worst polluter on the planet which is completely incorrect. Then come up with more restrictions on business which raise prices or moves them offshore, to use cheaper labor. There by making the quality of life lower in the U.S. with fewer high paying jobs. 3 likes

p.e.henry The problem is "carbon" is not a problem. CO2 is a boon. We need more of it for our plants , and thus life to thrive. CO2 does not add to warming. CO2 is a result of warming. Anybody who thinks otherwise should do the "right thing" for the planet and just stop breathing right now. 1 like
