The Climate According to Xi - WSJ
Never did I think I would agree with China’s President Xi Jinping, but I am overwhelmingly in accord with his comments that “carbon goals shouldn’t come at the expense of the ‘normal life’ of Chinese people or energy or food security” (“ Kerry Tilts at Chinese Coal Plants,” Review & Outlook, July 18). He also says, “We can’t toss away what’s feeding us now while what will feed us next is still not in our pocket.” Would that our climate fantasists could be so clear-eyed and practical.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
