They have their own.
If so, the cost incurred in shipping coal from Canada to Germany, in that balancing act…. Would that make the emissions worse in the end (?) once shipping to a different side of the planet is factored in compared to their local coal?Apparently not as clean as ours.

Fuck you Steve and your religion.As Conservatives gather in Quebec City for their first convention with Pierre Poilievre as leader, they’re buoyed by polls showing them with a commanding lead over the Liberal Party of Justin Trudeau.
After eight years of Liberal government, Canadians are smarting from soaring inflation, the high cost of everything and a divisiveness within our nation that’s fuelled by self-appointed activists telling us how to live our lives.
View attachment 19248Fresh from a visit to Beijing, Liberal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault appeared at the doorstep of Quebec City’s convention centre on Friday to crash the Conservative party’s national convention and call leader Pierre Poilievre a climate denier.
“Frankly, it’s very easy to attack Pierre Poilievre on the environment,” Guilbeault said, adding that Poilievre is “someone who claims to be a political leader in 2023 who does not even believe in climate change, who does not believe that we should be doing anything about climate change”.
It is almost impossible to raise any cautionary note on the subject of climate change without being deluged with accusations of Neanderthal obtuseness, perversity and wickedness. The facts remain that it is extremely hard to measure the temperature of the world because of the many thousands of thermometers all over the world’s surface that have to be shaded from the sun and monitored precisely over a long period. It appears that the temperature of the world has increased by approximately one centigrade degree since the late 19th century. This is within estimates of fluctuations in the climate cycle.![]()

The Abacus Data poll found that “rising cost of living” was by far the number one issue for Canadians under 40.
Environment and climate change, a top Millennial issue when the Liberals took office, is now rapidly receding into the background. Just 23 per cent of Millennials named “climate change” as one of their top three political issues — the lowest result among any age demographic.
Everyone is opposed to pollution, but most people are also against imposing heavy and unnecessary increases in the cost of living, especially to people of modest means unable to afford it. Canada’s carbon footprint is less than two per cent (1.6%) of the world’s total and our environmental record is highly competitive.![]()

We have been swept up in a carnival of faddish agitation for unattainable goals in reduction of carbon emissions in pursuit of an unnecessary objective and at colossal expense and hardship to ourselves. It is a new and formidable illustration of the madness of crowds: a general hysteria that oppresses dissenters and is propagated for the most part by sincere but misguided people.
To return to Steven Guilbeault, last week in an interview with Canadian Press he deliberately misrepresented an unexceptionable statement by the chief executive officer of the large oil company, Suncor Energy, Rich Kruger, as an announcement that “he is basically disengaging from climate change and sustainability, that he is going to focus on short-term profit, it’s all the wrong answers.”
It is also not what he said, but the minister took it as a pretext to justify an artificial cap on oil and gas emissions. He proposes deliberate reductions in oil and gas production, reducing the profits of Canadian energy companies, increasing the cost of gasoline and home heating fuel for Canadians, and replacing artificially depressed Canadian production with costly imports from countries not tormented by such nostrums, some of them politically disreputable despotisms.
The oil and gas industry produces about 10 per cent of Canada’s GDP. We should maximize production and exports and supply our Western oil to Eastern Canada. Canada would perform an inestimable service to the world if it led a revolt against the fetishistic and idolatrous pursuit of an impossible goal based on false climate terror, while zealously protecting our environment.

Because theyll be making ammonia instead of hydrogen. Did you miss the switcheroo?Well, it's been a year now. Funny how we haven't heard a peep since about any hydrogen facilities. No word on breaking ground. Oh wait, I forgot, this is now Trudeau's Canada, so it'll take about 10 years just for the approval process. Then another 10 years for the Natives to decide if they'll let it get built and finally some activists will come along and decide that hydrogen is just too dangerous and it will be scrapped.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault showed up outside the convention hall itself to claim Poilievre’s conservatives are all climate change deniers who detest environmentalists and have zero plan for change.Funny how Stevie whines about Poilievre's stand on AGW after coming back from a country whose ass the Liberals love to kiss, that burns coal like a mother fucker and best of all, a lot of the coal they dig up themselves in Mongolia is highly radioactive. Which is then shipped to coal-fired power plants across China.
These fumbles add up. At first you’re out of touch. Then you’re incompetent. The worst, though, is when your party becomes a cringe-worthy joke practically begging to be meme’d. We’ve reached that point, & I do love a good Meme!It's to the point where one Chinese official is deeply concerned. Not about the radioactive pollution, not abut the people who are suffering terribly as a result, but the destruction of uranium that could be used for NPPs and weapons.
This is who our govt looks up to when it comes to the environment.
Same with the Three Gorges Dam. The CCP was warned even before the ground was broken that building that dam was a terrible idea from an environmental standpoint. One Chinese scientist even wrote up a list of 12 thing that would happen if the dam was built, and none of them were good things. Well, 11 of those things have been checked off: worsening droughts, heavier rains, heavier and more frequent flooding, landslides, earthquakes and other forms of subsidence. Worsening water quality, higher levels of silt a few others that slip my mind. The only thing that hasn't happened yet that was predicted was the destruction of the dam itself, either by failure of the dam from shoddy construction or the intentional destruction of the dam due to war or terrorism.
But this is who our govt looks up to when it comes to the environment.
Kinda the flip-side of conservative assholes shrieking that True Dope is a Chinese agent.Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault showed up outside the convention hall itself to claim Poilievre’s conservatives are all climate change deniers who detest environmentalists and have zero plan for change.
Let see what happens if the 2019 & 2021 federal elections are actually looked at by an “Independent” public inquiry in the light of day….assuming an election isn’t called, or Parliament ‘Perogied’ before anything becomes public cancelling the inquiry…then we can compare apples to apples.Kinda the flip-side of conservative assholes shrieking that True Dope is a Chinese agent.
No shortage of stupid and hysterical on any side.
Anyone that stupid deserves to freeze in the dark.Astonishingly, despite these soaring costs, Europe remains committed to its current course. The Netherlands plans to shut down the Groningen gas field, the world’s 10th-largest, by Oct. 1 of this year, despite its ample reserves capable of meeting Europe’s annual gas needs.
That’s Us! That’s where we’re being steered. They are just currently ahead but we’re doing our damnedest to catch up by 2035!Anyone that stupid deserves to freeze in the dark.
