But the main point you seem to be purposely avoiding is that it takes money to have the luxury of air-conditioning. So rich countries use much more of it, even if it's sometimes unnecessary, just because they can afford it.
Poor countries who use it less than you do, do it because it's too expensive for them. Just another example of rich countries producing more CO2 just because they are rich.
Are you going to tell us again that it is their fault for finally being able to afford air-conditioning? Or is it your fault for using it all along?
Actually, China's master plan calls for 1.7 tw of coal. And as it said, your nation did not cancel to clean up the air or lower emissions. Instead, they did it for lack of growth, specifically, because your nation's economy was tanking in 2015-2016.
You have been told numerous times coal has peaked back in 2013.
Here is the actual plan for China's energy.
Yet it is still noteworthy that policy makers seem to be even more determined to squeeze coal’s share in the country’s energy mix, lowering its 2020 percentage in primary energy consumption from 62 percent to 58 percent, and capping its consumption at 4.1 Gt (which means roughly at 2014 levels).
You are correct Windy, there are other very dirty countries as well, it's not just America. But I'm specifically calling out your cheerleading for America, and your lies about China.
Still waiting for you to point out a single lie of mine Windy...
You already know Americans produce more CO2 from coal powered electricity than Chinese people.
Chinese coal plants produced 3,573 MT of CO2 in 2017
American coal plants produced 1,056 MT of CO2 in 2017
Per person America (less than 1/4 China's population) produces more CO2 from coal plants than China does...much more...OOPS.
China hasn't even caught up to America's coal. Then it would have to catch up to America's natural gas. Then it would have to catch up to America's oil use.
Face facts Windy, America is so far out in front, other countries may never catch up.
China still plans to increase its coal-fired power plants to almost 1,100 gigawatts, which is over three times the coal-fired capacity of the United States.
From your own post...
So China in the future when it builds all those plants will still be less than America per person...
China has over 4 times the population in case you 'forgot'.
Stop shooting yourself in the foot Windy. It's no fun if you are this incompetent.
This says Hydro provides 16% of world electricity.
For example China produces more hydroelectricity than just about every country produces total electricity (India and the US being the 2 exceptions).
You have a habit of not reading things to the end, or at all.
So it's no surprise you would be upset about something that you should have read and known about, but didn't, and then complained about not knowing.
If they are being paid, why would they block them?
They will charge them to make the calls and then charge you more if you want them to block it for you.
Bedides splitting up Fazebook won’t change any of the _existing_ data they already have.
Sure it will, it will copy it all to many new companies who will work tirelessly to protect it from hackers/governments etc. Oh yea i see the problem...
There is an even stronger link between development and resource use. As countries develop they become wealthier and use more resources. If everyone was like 'The West' the population may stabilise or even slowly decrease. But the resources just wouldn't exist to support everyone having that kind of lifestyle.
Actually if you were worried about resources running out you would kill those using up the resources fastest first. Those living the most unsustainable lives could be culled first, then the total number killed would be far far less.
You are expected to add 21GW of natural gas, I hope you also shut down 10GW of coal to compensate? (And pretend away all the methane leaks.) Even after those plants close, you will produce more coal powered electricity than China per person. You still have a long way to go.
A Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE, sometimes incorrectly WOFE) is a common investment vehicle for mainland China-based business wherein foreign parties (individuals or corporate entities) can incorporate a foreign-owned limited liability company.[1] The unique feature of a WFOE is that involvement of a mainland Chinese investor is not required, unlike most other investment vehicles (most notably, a sino-foreign joint venture).
You are right, they don't have a magic box, they have several. Whoever 'donates' enough money to fill up their box first, gets to write the laws they want.

Just more lies from Windy the king of lies
If America is such the hero for shutting down coal, why do you still have more coal plants per person than China does?
Why are China's per capita emissions still less than half America's?
This says Hydro provides 16% of world electricity.
For example China produces more hydroelectricity than just about every country produces total electricity (India and the US being the 2 exceptions).
So that's a no?
Did you ever figure out which way time went?
Too easy to game. Just have your competitors advertising flagged and blocked.
You have a habit of not reading things to the end, or at all.
So it's no surprise you would be upset about something that you should have read and known about, but didn't, and then complained about not knowing.

What makes you think they don't already know?
You think a bot like that will be limited to making 1 call at a time?
He'd give you the shirt of his back.

Don't look into the streams with remaining eye!
Several, like BZ509, are known to have retrograde paths, although how they ended up on such orbits is unclear.

Because it pushes up the prices and makes it too expensive for locals to buy.
Then there are security implications. Do you really want Chinese/Russian interests buying up land outside all your important ports and military bases?
Why not sell all your farms to China, what could go wrong?

Did you miss-click or something? How is that in any way relevant to what I said?
