China is now responsible for 27 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions, far outpacing the U.S., which finished in second place with 11 percent.
President Xi Jinping has been conducting a global charm offensive on climate, offering to match emission reductions of China's major competitors.
"China looks forward to working with the international community, including the United States, to jointly advance global environmental governance."
The China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China together funded $474 million worth of coal projects outside China in 2020 alone.
Coal accounted for more than half of China's domestic energy generation last year, according to Li Gao, director general of China's ecology ministry's department of climate change.
So China has figured it has to play ball on the climate - to a certain extent, anyway.
The Communists in China care only as much about the climate and carbon emissions as is necessary to advance their political goals.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
