Yesterday, the news media touted new “commitments” to fight “climate change” from the leaders currently meeting at the G20. Joe Biden had made that his top issue. This from redstate.com.
The communist nation skipped the COP26 climate summit, and will apparently continue to build coal power plants at a record pace.
In other words, if China and India don’t make big changes, there is almost nothing to be gained by Western countries nuking their own economies in the name of global warming.
"I think it's ultimately going to be up to China, as now currently the world's largest emitter, to decide whether it is going to do the right and important thing for its own people," says Secy. of State Antony Blinken on China not attending the COP26 summit in-person. #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/OGP0AlNB4Y

With that fact on the table, understand that China is not going to stop building coal power plants.
They are not going to stop burning coal.
The communist nation is already in economic trouble and has taken an “anything goes” approach, from energy policy to monetary policy.
While the United States [under Biden] has been more than happy to cut its own leg off, the Chinese are smarter than that.
If China isn’t on board with the president’s delusions about controlling the weather, then middle-class Americans are paying high energy prices while gaining nothing in return.
Canceling Keystone XL accomplished what, exactly?
Setting radical emissions goals for the US economy while China plans to keep upping their output until at least 2030 (and that assumes you believe their pledge, which you shouldn’t) is self-defeating and stupid.
Unfortunately, we are led by absolute morons who are religiously dedicated to fighting “climate change”—even when it makes no sense to do what they are proposing we do.
Presently what seems to be our only hope: Ride out the Biden insanity and hope change arrives in 2024.
