Since then reports have been emerging of countries which are still going wild in continuing to build new coal burning plants, and piling up their emissions at a fast rate. China and India are mentioned as the worst cases. All such new coal plants are allowed by the agreement, with those countries merely making promises to begin leveling off emissions a decade or more later. Meanwhile countries like the US, UK, Germany & others are making the efforts, investing in renewables, shutting coal plants and are also sending in some big bucks to aid the cause. Here's some headlines after that December 2015. Revealing some shocking ways where nations are thumbing their noses at the agreement's central theme of cutting CO2. And those coal plants would continue operating for another 60 to 80 yrs. << Plans for coal-fired power in Asia are 'disaster for planet' warns World Bank May 2016 Click Here Quote: "World Bank president, Jim Yong Kim, noted that countries in south and south-east Asia were on track to build hundreds more coal-fired power plants in the next 20 years – despite promises made at Paris to cut greenhouse gas emissions and pivot to a clean energy future. << India to more than double coal mining by 2020 October 2016 << The World Is Burning More Coal Than Ever Dec 12, 2016 |
