Calling this crappy garbage of 1000s of alt-coins - that lost 99% of their value since peak - as "shit-coins" is a grave insult to manure that is a most useful, precious and productive good as fertilizer in agriculture. So apologies to manure for this offensive comparison

Deal! New 32% renewables target for 2030. Renewables are good for Europe, and today, Europe is good at renewables. This deal is a hard-won victory in our efforts to unlock the true potential of Europe's clean energy transition. Thank you all! #REDII #ParisAgreement #CleanEnergyEU

China’s CO2 emissions from coal fell from 2013-2015, but it rose by 10% in other developing countries in Asia. By offshoring its energy-intensive manufacturing with less stringent climate goals, China’s Paris Agreement promises could count for nothing. e360.yale.edu/features/with-…
