With all the protesting going on in China,
the last thing the media publishes is about the comeback of coal. More coal plantations were closed last year
than were built, that is, except in China.
Most goal plantations in China were shut down due to pressures of being
the world’s largest greenhouses gases emitters.
To stimulate the economy, coal and coal plantations are beginning to
resurge. The argument made is that China
does not think about long term consequences restarting coal plantations will
cause to the environment. China has made
a commitment to reduce their carbon footprint by 2030… 11 years away seems
close enough to be worried if you ask me.
majority of leaders think short-term because of political gains. That is why advocacy is important. It could also be dangerous in countries without good human right laws
