On the first day of the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly, on the 23rd, U.S. President Donald Trump said that climate change and global warming were "a scam". he also mentioned that China has made a lot of wind power generation equipment, but China itself is "not willing to use wind power".
Judging from the video of the speech, Trump's speech mainly talked about the status and role of the United Nations, NATO's performance in the Ukrainian crisis, and issues such as energy and climate change.
In many occasions in the United States, Trump has repeatedly claimed that "China is not willing to use wind power", he reiterated this statement in a speech at the United Nations. he said that although China is an important producer of wind power equipment, it only exports equipment, but the country is not willing to use wind power.
In this regard, CNN pointed out that China has a large number of land and offshore wind power plants, and China's wind power plant capacity growth is much faster than the United States. reports citing the data released by the National Energy Agency in January said that China's wind power plant capacity in 2024 is about 5,2 million kilowatts, an increase of 18,0%.
The fact is the opposite: China owns more wind farms and installed capacity than any other country, and there are more wind farms planned to build than any other country.
Regarding the global response to climate change, Trump called the Paris climate agreement unfair to the United States, which demands that the United States “pay $1 trillion.”
The United States has never spent or pledged to spend $1 trillion on the Paris Climate Agreement, and under former President Biden, the United States has pledged $11.4 billion annually to international climate financing programmes, but the U.S. actual spending is less than that because of insufficient funding from the U.S. Congress.
