Washington Times on Copenhagen fiasco
Posted: January 15th, 2010 | Author: Michiel Hulshof | Filed under: Background | Tags: media, sustainablitiy | No Comments »John J. Tkacik Jr, former China analyst of the US State Department writes an interesting article on China’s climate stance in the Wastington Times.
Tkacik quotes Mr Ding, China’s “most prestigious geophysicist” and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Ding doesn’t believe in a human cause for rising global temperature.
Mr. Ding now purports to be upset that “developed nations” of the West, after emitting carbon gases into the atmosphere for over a century, suddenly insist that poor “developing” nations — including China — now share the burden of mitigating “predicted dire consequences” of global warming. He deduces that the secret motive for the climate controversy among the Western powers “is to restrain the growth of the developing nations and to preserve their own preferential position.”
