"At a meeting of the G20 Energy Transitions Working Group (ETWG) in the western state of Gujarat last month, India opposed a deadline proposed by rich nations to end the use of coal, said the official who was at the meeting. Coal accounts for nearly three-fourths of India's annual electricity generation, according to government data, and New Delhi has long defended its use of the fuel, citing lower emissions per capita, compared to other countries.
China supported India during the meeting, saying it cannot put a timeline on ending fossil fuel dependence and would want to put 'all' its available resources to optimum use, the official said."
Governments of China & India are smart & dealing with reality effectively. They know that the Western economies are eviscerating themselves over nonsense. The lack of systems thinking is stunning. These alarmists have actually bought into the idea that CO2 is a control knob for something as dynamic as climate!! "The global warming coalition can accurately be called climate change cause deniers. They deny the hundreds of causes and variables that influence climate change and instead try to pretend that carbon dioxide is the climate control knob overriding all the others factors and that every bad weather event is somehow “proof” of “global warming” and an impending climate “emergency.”
