Their claims of "carbon reduction" are simple lies:
BEIJING (Reuters) – A top Chinese climate envoy said Friday only emissions curbs carried out under its newly announced carbon intensity targets that have international financial support will be open to outside scrutiny.
In other words they will lie. Just as they do about virtually everything else.
Yu Qingtai, China’s climate change ambassador, added that most of the country’s emissions-curbing plans would likely not fall into the category of "measurable, reportable and verifiable."
And they’re telling us they’re going to lie. Thank you very much, Mr. Chaingang, er, "Chinaman." Now go blow a stallion.
Beijing insists that rich, industrialized countries should continue bearing most of the burden in reducing greenhouse gases and that developing nations like China and India must not be subject to mandatory emission reduction targets in any new deal.
That’s because China is committed to this sort of "carbon reduction":
Are we tired of this crap yet in the civilized world?
