EU’s proposed ‘carbon border tax’ could hurt climate negotiations, Chinese adviser says

That could trip up talks underway in Madrid to settle the final items of the Paris Agreement before it enters an implementation phase next year, when countries are set to unveil more ambitious targets for cutting greenhouse gases.The tax would run counter to the Paris accord which is founded on multilateralism and countries’ voluntary participating, said He Jiankun, a professor at Tsinghua University who is traveling with China’s official delegation.

“Currently adopting this type of cross-border measure could influence the friendly atmosphere of cooperation in the process of confronting climate change.” At the time, Zhao Yingmin, China’s vice minister of environment, said that unilateralism and protectionism should not be allowed to hurt the will of countries to jointly tackle climate change. Zhao is the ranking member of China’s negotiations team at the climate talks.

The 'intersectional' aspect of the Climate Catastrophe is this: China pollutes with impunity but is immune from 'catastrophe' while Canadian industry must wither to placate the How Dare You Puritans.
