Brosleg er trúgirni

alţjóđasamfélagsins gagnvart Kínverjum. Í raun sannar hún yfirburđi alrćđis kínverska kommúnistaflokksins gagnvart vestrćnu lýđrćđisskipulagi og hversvegna viđ hljótum ađ tapa.

Ţađ er gaman ađ fylgjast međ einbeittum skrifum  sendiherra Kína í Mogga um skilyrta lýđrćđiđ sem viđhaft er í Kína ţar sem í augum uppi liggur ađ ekki er hćgt ađ umbera allt í stjórnmálum af skiljanlegum ástćđum ef halda á einbeittri stjórn á hlutunum eins og í Hong Kong til dćmis.

Hér á Vesturlöndum tröllríđur einhver áhyggja yfir hamfarahlýnun loftslagsins húsum.Íslenski forsćtisráđherrann Katrín er andsetin af áhyggjum yfir ţessari trúarsetningu fremur en vísindalegum stađreyndum í loftslagsmálum  og henni finnst ţetta vera forgangsmál sitt í stjórnmálum. Til ţess eigi ađ verja opinberu fé í stórum stíl.

Samt tökum viđ fullt til Kínverja og hvađ ţeir vilji.Xi Jinping gefur út yfirlýsingu un ađ útblástur Kína af CO2 nái hámarki 2030 og Kína verđi kolefnishlutlaust 2060. Og viđ trúum ţessu auđvitađ-, allavega meira eđa minna.Ţađ er ađ sjá ađ viđ tökum ţessu sem sannleika og sníđum okkur sjálf eftir ţessum dagsetningum.

 

Kolanám Kínverja er í miklum vexti.Afkastageta kolakyntra raforkuvera sem eru í byggingu í  Kína eru miklu meiri en allra kolakyntra raforkuvera í Ameríku sem nú eru í rekstri. Og ţessi ver koma  til viđbótar viđ ţau sem fyrir eru og bćtast viđ í hverri viku.

Opinberlega voru byggingar kolakyntra raforkuvera leyfđar á ný 2018 eftir áđur sett málamynda bann sem átti ađ sýna góđan vilja Kínverja í loftslagsmálum.

BMW framleiđir 600.000 bíla í Shenyng árlega. Ţađ er ekki gert međ grćnu rafmagni nema ađ miklum minnihluta. En viđ erum ekki ađ vesenast í smáatriđum ţegar yfirlýsingar Xi eru annars vegar.

Viđ erum reiđubúin ađ leggja hart ađ okkur til ađ draga úr losun gróđurhúsalofttegunda sem viđ getum stjórnađ utan eldgosa.Kínverjar fara hinsvegar sínu fram eftir ţví sem ţeim hentar. Viđ höfum engin tök á ađ kanna sannleiksgildi yfirlýsinga ţeirra um ártöl og ástand.Enda skilja Kínverjar  hugtök eins og orđheldni og heiđarleika öđruvísi en viđ á Vesturlöndum vegna langrar sögu sinnar og nauđsynja.

Ţar endar samkeppni okkar viđ Xi í broslegri trúgirni okkar á Vesturlöndum.

The European Commission, the EU executive body, set out in painstaking detail how the bloc's 27 countries can meet their collective goal to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 55% from 1990 levels by 2030 - a step towards "net zero" emissions by 2050.

This will mean raising the cost of emitting carbon for heating, transport and manufacturing, taxing high-carbon aviation fuel and shipping fuel that have not been taxed before, and charging importers at the border for the carbon emitted in making products such as cement, steel and aluminum abroad. It will consign the internal combustion engine to history.

"Yes, it is hard," EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans told a news conference. "But it's also an obligation, because if we renounce our obligation to help humanity, live within planetary boundaries, we would fail, not just ourselves, but we would fail our children and our grandchildren."

The price of failure, he said, was that they would be "fighting wars over water and food."

The "Fit for 55" measures will require approval by member states and the European parliament, a process that could take two years.

They will also face intense lobbying from some industries, from poorer member states that want to ward off price rises, and from more polluting countries facing a costly transition.

A diplomat from one EU country said the success of the package would rest on its ability to be realistic and socially fair, while not destabilizing the economy.

"The aim is to put the economy on a new level, not to stop it," the diplomat said.

EYES ON GLASGOW

The EU produces only 8% of global emissions, but hopes its example will elicit ambitious action from other major economies when they meet in November in Glasgow for the next milestone U.N. climate conference.

"Europe was the first continent to declare to be climate neutral in 2050, and now we are the very first ones to put a concrete roadmap on the table," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The package arrives days after California suffered one of the highest temperatures recorded on earth, the latest of a series of brutal heatwaves that have hit Russia, Northern Europe and Canada.

As climate change makes itself felt from the typhoon-swept tropics to the blowtorched bushlands of Australia, Brussels proposed a dozen policies to target most big sources of the fossil fuel emissions that trigger it, including power plants, factories, cars, planes and heating systems in buildings.

The EU has so far cut emissions by 24% from 1990 levels, but many of the most obvious steps, such as reducing reliance on coal to generate power, have been taken already.

The next decade will require bigger adjustments, with a long-term eye on 2050, by which date scientists say the world must have reached net zero carbon emissions to prevent climate change becoming catastrophic.

The measures follow a core principle: to make polluting more expensive and green options more attractive to the EU's 25 million businesses and nearly half a billion people.

PLANES, SHIPS AND AUTOMOBILES

Under the proposals, tighter emission limits for cars will soon make it harder to to sell petrol and diesel car sales in the EU - and impossible by 2035.

An overhaul of the EU Emissions Trading System, the biggest carbon market in the world, will force factories, power plants and airlines to pay more when they emit CO2. Ships will also be added to the ETS, requiring shipowners to pay for their pollution for the first time.

A new EU carbon market will impose CO2 costs on the transport and construction sectors and on heating buildings. Some of the revenues will be put in a fund to cushion the inevitable rise in low-income households' fuel bills.

The Commission also wants to impose the world's first carbon border tariff, to ensure that manufacturers do not have a competitive advantage over firms in the EU that are required to pay for the CO2 they have produced in making carbon-intensive goods such as cement or fertilizer into the EU.

Meanwhile, a tax overhaul will impose an EU-wide tax on polluting aviation fuels, which currently dodge such levies.

EU member states will also be required to build up forests and grasslands - the reservoirs that keep carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

For some EU countries, the package is a chance to confirm the EU's global leadership in fighting climate change, and to be at the forefront of those developing the technologies needed.

But the plans have exposed familiar rifts. Poorer member states are wary of policies that will raise costs for the consumer, while regions that depend on coal-fired power plants and mines want guarantees of more support for a transformation that will cause dislocation and require mass retraining.

Eitt er ađ viđurkenna vandamálin, annađ er ađ leysa ţau.

Loftslagshlýnunin undanfarna áratugi er vafalaust vegna aukins magns kolsýrings í loftinu af mannavöldum.  Hins vegar má lengi um ţađ deila hver verđi áhrif ţessarar hlýnunar og ekki síđur hvernig koma skuli í veg fyrir ađ hún verđi stjórnlaus.

Kínverjar eru sagđir eiga hlutdeild ađ um 30% af heildarlosun manna á kolsýringi, Bandaríkjamenn eru međ um 13% og ESB ríkin um 8%. Hlutur Íslendinga er hverfandi. Ţađ skiptir ţví engu máli hvađ viđ gerum, hlýnunin heldur áfram, óháđ ţví hvađ viđ leggjum okkur fram og hve mörgum milljarđatugum króna viđ kostum til ţess ađ koma í veg fyrir hana.

Ţađ breytir ţví ţó ekki ađ viđ eigum ađ láta ţessi mál okkur varđa. Ég held reyndar ađ viđ gćtum stórgrćtt á ţeirri tćknibyltingu sem framundan mun verđa vegna vćntanlegra orkuskipta.
