I’m pretty sure they are doing more on ‘climate change’, building more and more coal fired plants and not caring what the world thinks, because they provide so many products and hold so much of the world’s debt. Presupposing that anthropogenic climate change is real, of course. Which it’s not
Climate change: US pushes China to make faster carbon cuts
US climate envoy John Kerry has called on China to increase the speed and depth of its efforts to cut carbon.
Without sufficient emissions reductions by China, Mr Kerry said, the global goal of keeping temperatures under 1.5C was “essentially impossible”.
Mr Kerry said he was convinced that China could do more and the US was willing to work closely to secure a reasonable climate future.
Every major economy must now commit to meaningful reductions by 2030, he said.
Mr Kerry was speaking at Kew Gardens in London, ahead of a G20 environment ministers meeting in Italy later this week.
Cool, another long fossil fueled flight for Kerry, who could have done this by Zoom or some other video conference method.
Mr Kerry paid special attention to the efforts of China, saying the country was now “the largest driver of climate change”.
China has promised to peak emissions by 2030 – but the US diplomat said that was not good enough.
“If China sticks with its current plant and does not peak its emissions until 2030, then the entire rest of the world must go to zero by 2040 or even 2035,” he warned.
“There is simply no alternative because without sufficient reduction by China, the goal of 1.5C is essentially impossible. China’s partnership and leadership on this issue of extraordinary international consequence is essential.”
Yeah, well, good luck with that. China will only talk the talk, not walk the walk. Rather like the way Kerry talks the talk and doesn’t walk the walk. This all does make one wonder if this all has anything to do with why Biden was so weak on China
Biden’s fury at Chinese cyberattacks prompts him to … issue a statement (Seriously)
China’s in trouble now: President Joe Biden is angry — really, really angry — about its cyberattacks. So angry that the White House on Monday issued a condemnation that actually cited China by name. Oooooh!
Beijing must be quaking in its boots: If officials there don’t shape up, who knows? Biden might castigate them a second time.
Yup, a strongly worded message! That is it. When it was Russia, Biden slapped them with lots of sanctions. China? Nothing. Despite China having done a heck of a lot worse. Not too mention the repression by the Chinese govt, forced slavery and killings of Uyghurs, treatement of Tibet and Hong Kong, human rights violations, and so much more. See, Joe and Kerry want climate crisis scam agreements, which seem more important to them.

The California Third District Court of Appeals ruled unanimously Friday that a 2017 state law requiring nursing homes to use patients’ preferred pronouns violates First Amendment free speech rights.
“It’s the boomers’ fault,†screamed the headline. We’ve done little to mitigate or avoid climate change. There have been periodic flurries of concern dating back at least to the April 3, 2006, with a Time magazine cover story. The Public Broadcasting System, PBS, recently ran a special on the topic.  (snip)
New Jersey is moving aggressively to become the leader in the fast-growing offshore wind energy industry on the East Coast, but not everyone is blown away by those ambitious plans.
Senate Republicans revolted on Monday against opening debate on infrastructure while a bipartisan bill is still being written, lining up in opposition to a squeeze play by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
In his floor remarks Monday evening, Schumer said the legislation could be amended as early as Thursday if the bipartisan group finalizes legislative text by then. If not, Schumer said the Senate could begin voting on legislation that has passed infrastructure-focused committees with bipartisan support.
Poison ivy is a fixture of the landscape in eastern North America and parts of Asia. The noxious, rash-causing weed grows in rocky outcroppings, open fields, and at the edge of forests — it generally loves to take over disturbed areas. It can grow in partial shade and doesn’t give a damn about soil moisture as long as it’s not growing in a desert. The ivy is often identified in its plant form on the ground, but it can grow into a thick and hairy vine that curls around big trees and chokes out other native flora. No one knows why the ubiquitous plant causes an allergic reaction in human beings and some apes. It doesn’t affect any other animals that way, and researchers suspect that its allergenic defense mechanism may have evolved by accident.
A series of shootings over the weekend in Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and other American cities underscored the ongoing rise in shootings and gun violence in the US this year.
