It didn’t start that way, but it’s almost like Climate Change is just a Chinese trick…

The West’s ridiculously bloated legal system sits there like a radioactive duck. For a pittance, the Chinese Communist Party can sponsor climate lawsuits that cost US companies big money, tie them up in court, slow them down, and sometimes bankrupt them, and that’s for cases they don’t win.

For the other cases, left wing non-profits are running training programs for judges to indoctrinate them with climate ideology. (If we think some judges are crazy, perhaps they had help to get there?)

Senate Hearing Exposes China’s Role In Backing Climate Lawsuits Against U.S. Energy

By Olivia Rondeau, ClimateChangeDispatch

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is financially backing left-wing climate lawfare in the United States, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, and dark money expert Scott Walter revealed the shady details while testifying before a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday.

According to Cruz, this campaign is a “three-pronged” approach.

“First, foreign money from entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party flows into the United States to bankroll climate advocacy groups who litigate against American energy,” the senator said in his opening remarks.

“Second, activist lawyers flood our courts with lawsuits designed not to win policy debates, but to bankrupt energy producers and to dismantle energy infrastructure through sheer attrition.”

“And third, the judiciary itself is being quietly captured and brainwashed as left-wing nonprofits host closed-door trainings that indoctrinate judges to adopt the ideological goals of the climate welfare machine,” he explained.

“The CCP plainly has a strategy of driving the United States away from domestic energy sources and increasing U.S. dependence on sources that rely on a Chinese supply of solar panels, electric vehicle batteries, and other technologies.”

If the CCP do this in the US, why wouldn’t they do it in Australia? (Perhaps they don’t need to, they could hardly hope to sabotage the mining industry in Australia better than Tanya Plibersek has.) But if they did, who would investigate? The ABC?

Of course, the Chinese Communist Party is just worried about carbon emissions

It’s what a good global citizen does — help everyone else cut emissions, especially stupid nations:

It’s a bit like the way the CCP is suddenly so worried Australia might waste money on military expenses. Xiao Qian, China’s Ambassador to Australia, doesn’t mind us spending billions on Chinese made solar panels and wind-mills, but he’s concerned about our heavy fiscal burden for defense and our livelihoods. It’s all so touching…

Don’t fall for NATO’s hyped-up rhetoric on defence spending

By Xiao Qian, in The Australian

By playing up international and regional tensions and slandering China’s normal military build-up, these countries are merely seeking nothing but excuses to drastically grow their military spending…

Dramatically increasing military spending places a heavy fiscal burden on the countries involved, undermining their efforts to boost economies and improve livelihoods, and further straining a global economy already struggling with weak recovery.

On a blog we might call this a concern troll.

If the CCP were so worried about us wasting money on defense they didn’t have to conduct live firing exercises off Sydney…
