UN & China make impervious demands for cash & control – As China is ‘expanding coal capacity & production in 2025 at the fastest rate in nearly a decade’

China is expanding coal capacity and production in 2025 at the fastest rate in nearly a decade, according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.

According to this report, China has failed to live up to its pledges on using coal in a more supporting role for renewable energy and to phase down coal production. Still, the CREA report, while documenting China’s coal expansion, speculates that it “signals … a last-ditch effort before China’s 2030 carbon peaking deadline,” after which it “should be the priority to meet climate goals.”

Unlocking America’s Rare Earth Riches Could Finally Break China’s Grip On Minerals by Paul Driessen You’d be crazy to buy a car based on its shiny exterior, dazzling instruments, and gorgeous leather interior – but without examining the engine or taking a test drive.

The Trump Effect = UN COP FLOP! 100 countries stall on ‘climate targets’ ahead of COP30 — As Trump is pushing world leaders to abandon the climate fight

E&E News excerpt: Trump, who has eviscerated climate measures in the U.S. while urging, and threatening, other nations to abandon the fight against climbing temperatures. Two weeks before climate talks begin in Brazil, the lapse by more than 100 countries in submitting new United Nations plans for tackling global warming is colliding with rising enmity by President Donald Trump, who has eviscerated climate measures in the U.S. while urging, and threatening, other nations to abandon the fight against climbing temperatures.

The EU is struggling to fill the vacuum left by America’s reversal on global climate cooperation. And China, while pledging to cut its world-leading carbon pollution, has announced a target that analysts say is too low to prevent catastrophic climate impacts.

The COP30 climate conference in the Amazon port city of Belém is facing perhaps the biggest political pushback since negotiations started 30 years ago,

…

Trump is not the only challenge. Energy demand is soaring globally, complicating the transition away from fossil fuels, while political divisions and the high cost of goods are shaking Europe’s commitment to tackle climate change.

The clearest warning sign is captured in the raft of pledges that countries have so far failed to submit to the United Nations. The first deadline passed in February. Then another in September. Fewer than 70 nations, out of 195, have now offered new climate targets. (The U.S. rushed its in last year before Biden left office.)
