China is so committed to Net Zero last year it started building 95 Gigawatts of coal plants

I'm a real cheapskate, but I sent joannenova.com.au $100. Hint, hint

"Does this look like a country that cares about carbon emissions?
President Xi said he would “strictly control” coal power from 2021 to 2025, and he has strictly controlled… a huge increase in coal power.

President Xi: — Reuters (April 2021) –“We will strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 14th five-year plan period (2021-2025) and phase it down in the 15th five-year plan period (2026-2030),” he said.

The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.

Why?

Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.

Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
