Reading the comments, I realize there are people who you can never please. They belong to another world.

What was the point in having Caroline Lucas on if you’re just going to bark at her whenever she says something important? Jesus christ.

It's not much, but it's not nothing. At least they are acknowledging there's a problem, unlike half of all Americans.

Good point Caroline: talk about the issue that Insulate had raised, rather than obsessing about their tactics

[nathanhousley]

Do you honestly trust what China says? Most people don't. Hahaha.

[jdshenanigans]

They have already built more plants so they can look good

Far more important than cutting coal is the 100 billion dollar pledge for renewable energy.
You should keep in mind that china is the biggest producer of renewable energy and the biggest producer of solar power and photovoltaic systems sit in china

Coming from the same guy who released the V in retaliation for trumps tariffs.

They should take down their own coal plants. Other countries have 1 or 2 coal plants . China has dozens and dozens. The exact number isn’t even available on Google.
