| China Imperils The MMGW Scam With Threat |
| 2011-11-09 |
| In the run-up to the international climate negotiations in Durban later this month, China has responded to efforts to ban the trading of widely discredited HFC-23 offsets by threatening to release huge amounts of the potent industrial chemical into the atmosphere unless other nations pay what amounts to a climate ransom. China's threat comes after the European Union and other nations moved to ban HFC-23 credits from internal carbon markets in recognition of the perverse incentives created by these credits under the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The vast amounts paid for HFC-23 offsets have led factories in China and elsewhere to manufacture far more HCFC-22 and its HFC-23 by-product than necessary, just to maximize the amounts paid to destroy HFC-23 through the UN-backed carbon trading scheme. And if China goes through with its threat, and nothing much happens, a lot of western schemers 'gonna have a lot of 'splainin' to do'. |

| #5 NEWS KERALA > CLIMATE CHANGE THREATENS CHINA'S CROPS, WARNS EXPERT, espec per its three staples as below. Rice crop yields could decrease 4-14%, Wheat 2-26%, + Corn/Maize could drop 1-23%, by Year 2050. * As per CHINESE MIL FORUM = MANY ORDINARY CHINESE WANT BEIJING TO FOREGO ANY BAILOUT OF THE EUROZONE UNLESS CHINA'S OWN PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED FIRST. IOW, Beijing = CPC should spend China's wealth on Chinese, not on the "foreign devils". |

| #2 Funny, I read UN clean development as unclean development which sounds more fitting based on this article. |

| #1 This is how they repay us for letting them do our manufacturing. They might think twice, though, if our leaders had the balls to slap some tariffs on them. |
