Weaponizing ‘climate change’

A key instrument in the CCP & Friends’ unrestricted warfare against America

WASHINGTON — California Governor and “Old Friend” of China paid a visit last week to Beijing, presumably to burnish his foreign policy credentials in advance of an expected bid for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination next year. The Chinese Communist Party not only embraced him with uncharacteristic warmth. It played him like a Stradivarius as part of its well-honed strategy of using a putative shared commitment to countering so-called “climate change” to promote the seductive, but unfounded, proposition that the People’s Republic of China is a reliable partner of the United States, not its mortal enemy.

Previous kowtowing in the Chinese capital by no fewer than four U.S. Cabinet-level officials — including climate “czar” John Kerry, featured the same fraudulent narrative. In fact, far from following America’s lead in curbing so-called “greenhouse gas” emissions, the CCP is cynically contributing to the production of additional carbon dioxide emissions by bringing online additional coal-fired electricity generation plants every week.

The pretense of collaboration in sparing the world “disastrous” warming by working together to curb the use of “fossil fuels” has, however, enabled the Chinese Communists to advance one of their most important priorities: weakening the United States by reducing its energy security. This ominous agenda is being advanced by the CCP’s allies here, notably Joe Biden and his congressional partisans via their Green New Deal and the “fundamental transformation” of our power-generation and transportation sectors it entails.

Making America dependent not on its own massive reserves of oil, natural gas and coal but on Chinese-supplied solar panels, wind turbines and electric batteries is, in short, an important line of attack in the CCP and friends’ “unrestricted warfare” against this country and others. The next Committee on the Present Danger: China

(CPDC) webinar from 1 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. ET today will examine: the truth about carbon dioxide’s contribution to the warming of our planet based on actual scientific data and atmospheric factors that undercut the central thesis of this Marxist agenda; the Chinese Communist Party’s record in curbing such emissions and otherwise weaning itself off of fossil fuels; what is being done in the name of countering climate change to our economy, ecosystems and people; how it benefits the CCP; and what we must do to restore our energy security and, ideally, energy dominance.
