What it looks like on the ground 
If anybody cared, they would ban import of all Chinese goods until they clean up their coal plants. It winds up in my air here in AK.

Forget solar, wind, hydro, and wave power. The capacity to burn coal for electricity generation rose in 2022 despite global promises to phase out the fuel with a defiant China leading the way
...
The coal fleet grew by 19.5 gigawatts last year, enough to light up around 15 million homes, with nearly all newly commissioned coal projects in China
...
New coal plants were added in 14 countries and eight countries announced new coal projects. China, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Zimbabwe were the only countries that both added new coal plants and announced new projects.
This boom in coal use defies a direct order from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who in 2020 demanded the world must stop building new coal power plants and instead embrace green alternatives
...
China accounted for 92 percent of all new coal project announcements
...
a joint report by the U.S.-based Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and Helsinki-based Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) in 2021 found China built over three times as much coal-fired electrical power capacity in 2020 as the rest of the world combined.
...
As China, which generates around 30 percent of all global carbon emissions, rushed to embrace even more coal generating systems, in the U.S. the push is going the other way.
There were significant shutdowns in the U.S. where 13.5 gigawatts of coal power was retired under Joe Biden.
...
With nearly 2,500 plants around the world, coal still accounts for about a third of the total amount of energy installation globally. Other fossil fuels, nuclear energy and renewable energy make up the rest.

So much for our Climate Change idiots and all their stupid efforts to make the U.S. a second rate Nation.
Do Greta Thunberg, Al Gore ,,Etc, ever criticize China for their use of fossil fuels?
I don’t follow this subject on a regular basis, but it occurs to me, that our reductions in emissions are being canceled out by increases in places such as China. Yet it seems like we don’t hear much from environmental leaders about that.
the clock keeps ticking. Don’t we have only about 8 or 9 years left at this point? Maybe Greta will reset our clock?
Climate Change idiots said the Chinese Communist Party will be leaders in saving the world when they take it over ,LOL
Climate change is a political argument to destroy America and the west.
Coal, being a very high percentage of nearly pure carbon, is one of the most compact oxygen-combustion fuels around. When coal is subjected to being baked in a retort, driving off virtually all the volatiles the exist in coal in nature, it then becomes coke, and when coke is heated to about 1,000 degrees or so, and misted with water, the water breaks down into hydrogen, and the oxygen in the water forms carbon monoxide, both excellent fuels in the gaseous state, commonly called “syngas”. Both generate much more heat than simply burning the carbon, and the outcomes are restoration of the original water molecules used in the generation of syngas, and the production of carbon dioxide, a most excellent and highly important plant food, not a pollutant at all.
BTTT
By the obamanites.
Our local climate idiots always ignore the coal burning truth of China and India. If they acknowledge this, their heads would explode. But this is just the brainless dupes that our universities churn out.
Reality is that the greenie climate scam is MONEY based. There are trillions to be made in pimping renewable bs like solar and wind. There is one trillion in green BS hand outs in the Biden “Anti-Inflation Bill”. There are loads of trough feeders lining up to participate.
IOW you get taxed to support the ruination of America via the PTB pimping climate fears. But follow the money on this. The money flow from the Feds to connected Democrats is the real truth.
China, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Zimbabwe give Biden the finger.
The United States has by far the largest known coal reserves of any country in the world. Villainizing coal has been a direct attack against the United States and our way of life. Coal is safe, cheap and easy to transport. Think about it. Does it create an ecological disaster when a ship carrying coal runs aground, or a train carrying coal derails?
“Stampede”? What the ‘Ell is wrong with you?
Coal is a baseload power supply (and source of organics) that CAN BE remarkably clean — much better on balance than the recycling aspects of solar cells.
They are being reasonable. Even for commies.
Thanks for this educational article to serve as a reminder.
Their lack of enthusiasm for criticizing China is remarkable. China burns more coal than the rest of the world combined. You’d think they’d be hammering on that day and night, but nope, it’s crickets.
I understand China builds a coal power plant every three days. They will have electricity to manufacture armaments for their army. The US will be able to turn over a country with clean air.

BlackRock and Vanguard shun the U.S. coal industry yet invest billions in a Chinese company whose name is literally “China Coal Energy Company,” without saying a peep about ESG over there.
The hypocrisy is staggering. Or perhaps it’s not hypocrisy, just hierarchy. #WSJFUTURE
