I still find the idea that China will reduce intensity by 40% in 8 years a little hard to believe

Aren’t they rolling out one or two coal fired power stations every week?

Hi Andy,
You might like to consider the difference between carbon intensity and net emissions

Some utterly incredible statements in that article

China’s target is to reduce carbon intensity by 40-45 per cent by 2020

China’s emissions are skyrocketing. Which planet are these people on?

You have made a very good point, Bulaman, but it’s utterly depressing that blackmail (now matter how it’s disguised) by the political opportunists of tiny nations trumps everything in foreign affairs and doesn’t give the ordinary inhabitants of small nations much opportunity or reward for sensible decision-making that might ensure a good future for themselves.

It is about politics. If we don’t do this then the Tokelauans will vote with Japan on Whaling, they will invite the Chinese tuna fleet etc.. Sustainable diplomacy sounds better than gun boat diplomacy!

I thought it ironic and clicked on it in the hope that some commission comes back to your blog RT.

If it does, I’ll click it as many times as you like…….

RC,

Sorry, couldn’t help but be distracted by the NoCO2 Certification Program AdSense banner above this post.

You’ve mentioned those ads a couple of times, Richard. Perhaps I should explain that they’re out of my control, and are placed by Google when the page is served to the browser. We probably each see different adverts at the same moment. You might actually influence them yourself with your browsing habits. I get quite irritated with them, because the only side in the climate debate with money for advertising is of course against us, so we never see the realist point of view, always the warmist’s!

Cheers.

Welfareism at it’s very worst. Insanity by our government.
