Climate deal “falls short” as China and India block end to coal power – BBC News
World leaders and environmental experts have welcomed a UN climate deal that for the first time targets fossil fuel as the key driver of global warming. However many expressed disappointment with the agreement and warned that the world was still on course for disastrous warming.
The summit reached deadlock over coal power after India and China blocked a call for it to be completely phased out. Instead the summit could only agree that it would be “phased down”.
The UK, which hosted the summit, hailed the deal as a “game-changing agreement”. But critics warned that it does not deliver the key summit goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C by the end of the century.
The summit did agree to provide money for poorer countries to help them adapt to climate change, as well as curbs to methane emissions and deforestation.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Typical western media propaganda. They conveniently left out the fact that over the last century they were allowed to pollute uninterrupted to build up their economies. Now that someone else wants to do the same, they go on a smear campaign and misinformation mission.
Also, carbon footprint per capita makes each European looks pretty horrible.

Unfortunately this the fate of india.
However we should all pray to WaheguruRamAllah for Good future of our beautiful country.
Also we should all stand for injustice even if our neighbors are from different religions. Otherwise peace will not remain.

As usual western biased coverage. Look at India's per capita consumption compared to western world. I result will shock you. India pledged to become zero carbon emittors in the near future. But western elites not even try to go green. By the way recently Brits announced that they're opening their coal mines for energy. I want to say well done my Brits. Your the inspiration for who wanna pollute the world further more.

China apparently has emitted more CO2 in the last 8 years than Britain has in the entire time since the Industrial Revolution. Without support and measures taken by China and India, both desperately overpopulated, with almost 3 billion people between them, the population of the entire planet only 77 years ago when World War 2 ended – all measures taken to cut or limit emissions will be totally useless, and there should be no doubt whatsoever in people’s minds about that.
The only way in fact to stop emissions was not to have an industrial revolution in the first place.
But of course people did not know about climate problems then. And a world without an industrial revolution would still have desperate problems, just different from the ones we have now.

All this was and is entirely predictable. We rant and rave about the climate and have done so for years without anything really being done about it. The fact is civilization can not survive without the use of fossil fuels but also cannot survive if we continue to use them indefinitely.
And also, all these worries about the climate will mean nothing if Putin in Russia launches a nuclear war, and wipes civilization out in the process,
At the moment you cannot reduce emissions without also drastically reducing standards of living, to a lifestyle back to the Middle Ages, medieval or even earlier, which whatever else they may say otherwise, people in the developed world will not accept and people in China, India and other places are not prepared to forgo increases in living standards.
Frankly, the world is beset by so many desperate problems which are now too far gone and too big to fix. The climate is one – it really is a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, although the door has not even been shut yet – wars, like the one in the Ukraine caused by Man’s aggressive nature and population, which is now almost 8 billion, up from 3 and a half billion when I was born 60 years ago. And all this is not to mention, depletion of finite resources which things like recycling can only slow it down and not stop, and civilization will certainly end when that happens, even if by a miracle these other problems could be resolved.
All this climate talk is a classic case of “Never in the field of human history has there been so much talk and conferences about a problem going on for so long for so little, if any result”.
And how much emissions have this Egypt conference and others like it have caused? And how much emissions do the media cause reporting on this and any other issue? How much CO2 did this report emit, for instance? I am pretty certain it is not nothing.

Yawn, Mars has been warmer than normal as well. It's a solar cycle. There has been global warming and cooling before man. But hey, I'm all for a cleaner earth! Coal and oil is a sacred gift that should not be wasted or exploited.

Yeah right, India and China, the two countries who are amongst the topmost nations producing the most green energy will be answerable to the effected countries, while Europe and US, which contributed to the largest amount of historical emmisions are the ones who decide who will be answerable to whom. Hypocrisy at its best.

Give India low interest loans so that India can make it nuclear reactors which according to IAEA is some of the safest reactors in the world. The waste can be brought to normal levels in about three hundred years which is not a long time.
