What strange goalpost shifting.
China's adherence to the Paris Accord despite agreeing to far greater cuts in emissions than most of the developed world is globally recognised.
Trump pulled out of the worldwide agreement a few years ago and regardless the States wasn't even on track to meet it's paltry targets.
The hypocrisy is front and center on the world stage.
- NicoJuicy 7y agoHow do you know China does this? I haven't seen any proof of them listening to "rules", WTO or any other. They say yes, but they seem to do: "meh". A plethora of examples exist. Trump pulled out and a lot of companies objected and states added local laws to object to him. Companies did extra efforts, without subsidies, because they can. Trump ( luckily) isn't a generalisation of America. As ofc XI isn't, but XI ( more the communist party) is the absolute boss of every Chinese company. If he really says no, it's done. And of course, he wants everyone to buy solar and all other tech of the Chinese. So there is money involved ;) Trump seems to be just a puppet for some game-over companies, extending their EOL.
- A2017U1 7y agoThe response is predictable as ever. The EU is launching emissions monitoring satellites soon and unless you discredit them too the reality will come out soon enough. There's a very real reason the US pulled out of an international agreement that everyone else agrees too and it's an ugly truth why.
