There was an article in The Guardian last April that typifies the reporting, or rather non-reporting, about China’s use of coal: “China-ramps-up-coal-power-despite-carbon-neutral-pledges — local governments approved more coal power in the first three months of 2023 than all of 2021.”   https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/24/china-ramps-up-coal-power-despite-carbon-neutral-pledges The article bends over backwards to avoid criticizing China, noting that in 2020 China’s […]

By Andrew Bolt China isn’t just buying up the farm here in Australia – literally – but is rubbing our face in our suicidal stupidity. The fuss this week about the purchase of 43 farms in the Liverpool Plains by Chinese miner Shenhua Watermark actually ignores the biggest warning. Politicians are suddenly panicking that foreigners […]
