The
Washington Times has a
headline you’ll love if you’re tired of Europeans trashing us for our claimed disinterest in climate change.
Europeans rip Trump on climate change, import record amounts of U.S. coal.
And here are the numbers to back up that claim:
Through September 2017, France imported 1.5 million short tons of American coal — double the amount in 2016.
Through September, Germany imported 3.4 million short tons, compared with 2.5 million in 2016. Italy brought in 2.2 million tons of U.S. coal during the same period; in 2016, it imported just 1.3 million.
As a whole, Europe through September imported 28.4 million short tons, compared with 19.3 million the previous year, federal data show.
Given that information, I am entirely disinterested in European opinions of U.S. efforts to moderate climate change. It is clear they are all hat and no cattle, as Texans say of hypocrites. Speaking of hats, a hat tip to
Lucianne.com for the link.
