China is the Potemkin village of the warmists

Andrew Bolt,Herald Sun (Australia)
"Remember how Julia Gillard tried to tell us China was switching to green energy, so Australia should ,too? .....Remember how the Greens kept claiming China shamed us in its move to renewable energy?... Bjorn Lomborg explodes this great deceit:
"....China indeed invests more than any other nation in environmentally friendly energy production: $34 billion in 2009, or twice as much as the United States. Almost all of its investment, however, is spent producing green energy for Western nations that pay heavy subsidies for consumers to use solar panels and wind turbines. ....Wind today generates just 0.05 percent of China’s energy, and solar is responsible for one-half of one-thousandth of 1 percent.

The avoided carbon emissions from all of China’s solar and wind generation — even maintained over the entire century — would lower temperatures in 2100 by 0.00002 degrees Fahrenheit. That is the equivalent, based on mainstream climate models, of delaying temperature rises at the end of the century by around five hours."
