Trump win opens way for China to take climate leadership role
[Dhaka Tribune] The election of climate change sceptic Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
as president is likely to end the US leadership role in the international fight against global warming and may lead to the emergence of a new and unlikely champion: China.
Good idea. Put all your money into clean, renewable, climate-friendly energy. We'll mine all the coal and drill all the oil and natural gas we can find.
If there's anyone, anyone you'd want to have in charge of a large, complicated, multi-national endeavor with a proven track record of environmental consciousness, why it'd be China, of course...
China worked closely with the administration of outgoing President Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
to build momentum ahead of the 2015 Gay Paree Agreement on climate change. The partnership of the two biggest greenhouse gas emitters helped get nearly 200 countries to support the pact at the historic meet in La Belle France’s capital.

By contrast, Trump has called global warming a hoax created by China to give it an economic advantage and said he plans to remove the United States from the historic climate agreement, as well as reverse many of Obama’s measures to combat climate change.

He has appointed noted climate change sceptic Myron Ebell to help lead transition planning for the Environmental Protection Agency, which has crafted the administration’s major environmental regulations such as the Clean Power Plan and efficiency standards for cars and trucks.

#1 Is this the same China that is currently binging on building coal-fired power plants?

As some point - around the onset of the next ice age, I'd guess - Global Warming will be recognized as the biggest science scam since the Piltdown Man. But in the meantime, there is money to be made, gentlemen!

#5 [Dhaka Tribune] was the first clue. Seriously amusing -- China is significantly increasing their coal imports, I believe.
