Even if you admit climate change, how much is it changing and how much of it is man made is wildly conflicting between experts even. The political side is wanting to claim the extreme, which is not and has not been the case. And perpetuating the climate change hoax is in the best interest of China. 90% of the rare earth elements needed for "green" energy comes from China. The world's largest exporter of coal is China, with the US coming in second. The US doesn't even use most of the coal we mine, it's exported. So cutting US coal production has 0 impact on the global environment because China will just export more, cutting out the competition.
