Climate alarmists have broadened their desperate search for a way of engaging people’s attention, by compiling a list of iconic tourist attractions and national icons which they claim are “threatened” by climate change.
For example;
Statue of Liberty, U.S.A.
This statue has stood in New York Harbor welcoming millions of immigrants and tourists to America from around the world since 1876. That was when the statue, designed by sculptor Frederic Bartholdi and engineer Gustave Eiffel, was given to the U.S.A. by France in celebration of the 100th anniversary of American independence.

Japan leads overseas coal power project funding, report shows

The report was issued this week as Japan prepares to host a G7 summit which will include discussions on climate change. The environmental groups say Japan has failed to follow the Paris climate agreement.
According to the report, commissioned by groups including the National Resources Defence Council (NDRC) and the WWF, Japan led the G7 nations in coal power financing between 2007 and 2015, providing over half of the total funding for such projects through direct finance, guarantees, technical assistance and aid for coal power, mining and related projects.
Japan’s share of the total was $22bn, which amounts to 52 per cent of the $42bn provided by G7 nations. And, according to the report, Japan has a further $10bn of coal power projects in…
