rebirth against the times

Facing the surprise of the three people, Minister Yang continued: "Have you heard of the Kyoto Agreement?"

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and then Xiao Zhen asked in confusion: "Minister Yang, are you referring to the agreement that seeks to encourage countries around the world to reduce carbon emissions and prevent climate disasters?"

Minister Yang nodded: "Yes, the "Kyoto Protocol" is a supplementary clause to the "United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change". It was formulated by the three meetings of the participating countries of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997. The stated goal of the agreement is to

Stabilize the greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere at an appropriate level to prevent severe climate change from causing harm to humans. This agreement officially came into effect in 2005, which can be regarded as the first time in human history to limit greenhouse gas emissions in the form of regulations."

Speaking of this, Minister Yang paused for a moment, looked at Xiao Zhen and the other three and asked, "What do you think of this agreement?"

"Well, that's great. This agreement should be of great significance to the governance of the world's environment. I think the key point is for all countries to strictly abide by it, especially those hegemonic countries. Otherwise, this agreement will just swat flies without swatting them.

Tiger's empty airs." Xiao Zhen said first.

Minister Yang nodded and looked at Bai Shuo and Liang Ying.

Liang Ying thought for a while and said: "Environmental protection is not easy to achieve immediate results, and the damage to the environment is often subtle. Western developed countries have experienced the industrial revolution and witnessed the pain of environmental protection, so they are often more concerned about environmental protection.

Problem. However, some developing countries tend to only value economic interests and excessively pursue GDP growth. While manufacturing and other industries are developing rapidly, they do not pay enough attention to environmental damage. Therefore, I think this agreement is more important to strengthen

Supervision of developing countries requires developing countries to pay enough attention."

Minister Yang thought for a while and said with a smile: "What Young Master Liang said seems to be somewhat contrary to Xiao Zhen's idea, but it seems that China is the first among the developing countries you are referring to."

"Whether it is a developing country or a developed country, the most important thing is for all mankind to abide by the regulations and protect a sustainable environment." At this time, Bai Shuo also gradually relaxed and began to express his thoughts.

"Since the birth of human beings, they have begun to use their ingenuity and wisdom to continuously change the world, creating miracles one after another. But at the same time, many of these changes violate the laws of nature and cause massive damage to the earth's environment. It is said that man can conquer nature.

, it’s okay to use it for self-encouragement, but it’s stupid to really believe it. Compared with nature, human beings are insignificant after all, because humans are already a member of nature, so how can they deviate from the laws of nature..."

Bai Shuo thought of many of the more incisive environmental protection concepts of later generations, and rattled off a lot of them based on his own understanding. Xiao Zhen and Liang Ying also kept nodding in agreement.

When Bai Shuo came to an end, Minister Yang couldn't help but ask: "Brother Bai's ideas and concepts are really amazing. If I understand correctly, you also agree with this agreement very much, right?"

Bai Shuo nodded and said: "Well, yes, I think this is a relatively advanced and important agreement that is of great significance to all mankind."

Minister Yang pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "The two countries with the largest carbon emissions in the world today are the United States and China. But do you know? The population of the United States only accounts for 3% to 4% of the global population.

%, but carbon emissions account for more than 25% of global emissions, making it the country with the largest greenhouse gas emissions in the world. The United States signed the "Kyoto Protocol" in 1998. But in March 2001, they decided to "reduce greenhouse gases"

On the pretext that "gas emissions will affect the economic development of the United States" and "developing countries should also assume the obligation to reduce and limit greenhouse gas emissions," they announced their refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol."

"Ah?!" The three people in Xiao Zhen exclaimed in unison.

Minister Yang seemed to have no intention of responding to the surprise of the three people, and continued according to his own thinking: "Even under such circumstances, the fifth meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol will still be held in Denmark in December this year, aiming to

Discuss the follow-up plan for the "Kyoto Protocol" and sign a global emissions reduction agreement from 2012 to 2020. We have received information that at this meeting, the focus will be on air pollution, climate change and other issues, and in the future, carbon emissions

Emissions regulations will be more stringent, do you know what this means?"

The three people in Xiao Zhen knew that Minister Yang must have something important that he didn't tell the whole story, so they all remained silent and did not answer the conversation.

Sure enough, Minister Yang went on to say: "Do you think Westerners will really care about Chinese people? Do Africans have blue skies and white clouds? Smoke pollution, rising temperatures, sandstorms, etc. will make them nervous? Carbon emissions and pollution emissions are completely different things. This

On the surface, this emission reduction conference is to discuss air pollution, but in fact, climate change has nothing to do with air pollution.”

"Huh?!" Xiao Zhen and the other three expressed their surprise again at Minister Yang's words.

Minister Yang sneered and continued: "Behind the climate issue raised by Western countries, there is actually an "imperialist" ambition hidden, that is: to use carbon emissions and pollution emission indicators to suppress the rise of developing countries, and at the same time use

Promoting their so-called "environmental protection technology" forces developing countries to incorporate the direction and model of economic and social development into the track they have formulated and fully controlled. They themselves can rely on selling technology and issuing loans within at least 100 years.

Charging so-called 'carbon emission tariffs' and enjoying the benefits is a major conspiracy of Western capitalist countries! Once you take the bait, you can imagine the consequences!"

Minister Yang's words finally alerted the three people in Xiao Zhen, and all three began to re-examine their judgments.

"Our country does not ignore environmental issues. During the 'Eleventh Five-Year Plan' period, our country put forward the policy of 'energy conservation and emission reduction', and stipulated that energy consumption per unit of GDP should be reduced by about 20%, and the total emission of major pollutants should be reduced by 10%.

%. Xiao Zhen, you must still be wondering why the project introduced by Xindu County was stopped this time, right? I can tell you clearly that stopping this project was not the intention of the conference, but the relevant national departments taking into account the environmental impact.

, the result of proactive action after consulting the superior leader.”

Only then did Xiao Zhen understand why Xinlong County lost inexplicably, and at the same time, he vaguely felt why he was named by the chief to attend tonight's banquet.

At this time, Minister Yang continued: "Environmental protection is a luxury when the right to subsistence is not guaranteed! And now many people in China have not effectively guaranteed the right to subsistence! On the one hand, Western developed countries continue to live a luxurious life, with per capita

Carbon emissions remain high, and we enjoy high-carbon-emission products produced in developing countries. On the other hand, we keep saying that we want to limit carbon emissions in developing countries and impose carbon taxes on high-carbon-emission products produced in developing countries. This further further

Reduce procurement costs, this calculation is quite accurate!”

Xiao Zhen finally understood, nodded and said: "I have seen relevant statistics. Whether it is historical emissions or per capita emissions, we are far lower than developed countries, not to mention that a large part of our emissions are transferred from developed countries.

It’s caused by industry, but we are actually taking the blame for them..."

Liang Ying also suddenly realized: "I understand that it is true that the United States and other Western countries are for the future of mankind. They are taking the opportunity to burden us with political baggage and curb the rise of developing countries led by China!"

Minister Yang nodded approvingly and looked at Bai Shuo, who seemed a little silent again.

Bai Shuo was going through a struggle in his heart at this time. He thought that with his more than ten years of experience ahead of everyone else, he could be as good as anyone on some directional issues, and his experiences in the past few years have repeatedly confirmed it.

His thoughts. But now when he suddenly heard what Minister Yang said, he realized for the first time that everything he had seen before might not be the original appearance of things. At least on this issue, he felt that his understanding might be too much.

Too superficial.

Minister Yang looked at Liang Ying again and said: "Master Liang said before that all countries in the world and global enterprises should shoulder common responsibilities on environmental issues. This sentence seems very reasonable at first glance, but I think it should at least be added

A few words: Countries around the world and global companies should shoulder common but differentiated responsibilities."

Liang Ying chewed Minister Yang's words carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up. Although she only added the three words "difference", the meaning was completely different.

Minister Yang continued: "You mentioned low-carbon economy. Do you know that the concept of low-carbon economy was first proposed by the British Empire, but when the West criticized China for ranking among the top in carbon emissions, it seemed to have 'forgot' a basic fact.

, that is, the current climate warming is actually caused by the accumulated carbon emissions in the history of developed countries. From the industrial revolution to 1950, the carbon dioxide emissions emitted by developed countries accounted for 95% of the global cumulative emissions. Morally speaking, China

As the state-owned economy develops and continues to grow, it will be inevitable to increase carbon emissions. Moreover, industrialized countries have 'outsourced' carbon emissions to developing countries - China conducts a large amount of carbon-intensive production and manufacturing for Western buyers. As a consumer

Countries that purchase products should be responsible for the carbon emissions produced in the process of manufacturing their products, not the countries that export those products.”

At this point, the three people in Xiao Zhen have fully understood Minister Yang's intentions. They have changed from being a firm environmental advocate at the beginning to having deeper considerations and ideas of their own.

Seeing that all three of them had understood something, Minister Yang felt very relieved and said happily: "It seems that you all have your own ideas, so I won't be more verbose. In short, there are many things in this world that cannot be taken at face value."

, they may be wolves in sheep's clothing, or they may have pseudo-morality that looks like kindness. The important thing is that we must have our own ideas and avoid following hearsay and following what others say. Only in this way can we distinguish the difference between truth and false truth."

"Well, environmental protection is indeed a topic that must be taken seriously, but it also depends on who is behind the incident. The blade used is neither good nor bad. The key depends on who is operating it." Liang Yingruo said to herself with enlightenment.

Said to himself.

At this time, Xiao Zhen suddenly asked: "Minister Yang, your words have indeed enlightened us. However, the chief has called us here today. I believe he is not just giving us a theoretical lesson, right?"

Xiao Zhen's words made Bai Shuo and Liang Ying suddenly understand something. Today's meeting from the meal to the present might just be appetizers, and the real meal might not have really started yet. They couldn't help but look at Yang

minister.

"Haha..." Minister Yang smiled heartily and said: "The competition between Western countries and us has never stopped at the political or military level. They will attack us in all directions and from unexpected places. And these attacks are very

It may even be subtle and unconscious.”

"Well, it's true that it's easy to dodge overt and covert attacks. The chairman has said before that you should be careful of the enemy's sugar-coated bullets. In today's society, the forms of sugar-coated bullets are also diversified. What about subversion theory, cultural invasion, moral kidnapping?

Human rights interference... can be said to be all-consuming." At this time, Bai Shuo thought of something that was only declassified in later generations.

Minister Yang nodded: "Well, in order to prepare for the end of the year meeting, Western countries have already begun to lay the groundwork. In recent years, many scientists and laboratories have come forward to publish topics on carbon emissions and greenhouse effects. It is said that the British Empire recently

Another laboratory specializing in climate research also claimed to have made important discoveries and published many statements that climate threatens human survival. Most of these statements are exaggerated. Under the guise of environmental protection, they actually hide their ulterior politics.

Purpose……"

"By the way, Brother Bai just came from Bagui Province, right?"

Hearing this, Bai Shuo looked at Minister Yang blankly and said "hmm" instinctively.

"I heard that this time Brother Bai noticed the plot of foreign forces and actually ignored his personal safety and went straight to Huanglong. This courage is commendable and the patriotism of Chicheng is so evident."

When Bai Shuo saw Minister Yang mentioning the incident in Laliang Town, he once again felt that his every move was completely under his control. At the same time, he also felt that there might be something hidden about the incident in Laliang Town.

Sure enough, Minister Yang then told Bai Shuo something that shocked him: after further investigation, the group of foreign forces Bai Shuo encountered in Laliang Town this time were members of the Yingying Organization.

In addition to disrupting the situation in the southwest region, their mission this time also has an important plan, which is to use the chemical agents they carry to artificially create air pollution problems in some areas with developed manufacturing industries in western China.

These chemical agents can quickly volatilize and dissolve into the atmosphere through special methods, and then destroy the hydrogen and oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and release harmful substances. Even with the most advanced instruments, it will be difficult to discover the secret.

It will only be thought to be caused by excessive pollution emissions.

By then, many people will suffer from various diseases due to air pollution. On the one hand, they can incite the resistance of local people and create stability problems. More importantly, the international community can use environmental pollution issues to put pressure on China and force China to accept developed countries.

Those seemingly fair and humane regulations enacted by the state.

"It's unreasonable. Not only did they do something harmful to nature, but they also wanted to blame others." Hearing this, Xiao Zhen felt very angry.

At this time, Bai Shuo also vaguely guessed the reason why he was invited here today.

Minister Yang picked up the tea and took a slow sip. He waited for Xiao Zhen and others to stabilize their emotions for a moment before saying: "This is a relatively direct action. Not only that, even in the cultural field, they also instill in the general public

Their environmental theory. Previously, they filmed a climate disaster film called "The Day After Tomorrow" a year before the "Kyoto Agreement" officially came into effect. It is said that another film describing the world in 2012 will be released this year.

A doomsday disaster movie, this is actually a film that exaggerates the climate problem, just a gift for the year-end conference..."

Many people have watched the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", but perhaps few people realize that while everyone is marveling at the storyline, they are gradually being implanted with some concepts.

Of course, Bai Shuo also knew what the upcoming movie that Minister Yang was referring to was, but even now he thinks it is a very rare disaster movie. At the time, he just felt that it was very enjoyable, and later he watched it many times.

times, but I didn’t think deeply that there were so many things hidden behind it.

Of course, these things are very well hidden. At least from the surface, there is nothing wrong with these films. Some things are even packaged in a very positive and healthy way, making it hard for people to fault...

At this time, Xiao Zhen suddenly stood up from the sofa, straightened his body like a soldier, and asked Minister Yang loudly: "Minister Yang, after talking so much, I think there must be something we need to complete."

Well, just give the task!"

Seeing Xiao Zhen's attitude, Bai Shuo and Liang Ying looked at each other. In fact, they had already felt that a minister-level boss had been patiently talking to them for a long time. Naturally, it was impossible to just have a heart-to-heart talk.

Talking heart-to-heart, there must be something more important that you need to do.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them also stood up and stood side by side with Xiao Zhen, indicating their attitude.

"Well done, the chief did not misjudge the person!"

At this moment, Minister Yang became serious and said sternly: "Comrades, the seemingly happy and stable life of our people today is actually hard-won. The reason why the people are not aware of the danger is because the country is always protecting them from wind and rain;

The common people cannot feel the pressure because there are many unknown heroes carrying the burden for them. Please remember that war is never just about guns, and war has never been far away from us. The topic we are talking about today is actually a war.

It is a war about climate, environmental protection, and even the right to development, but the protagonists of this war are not our soldiers. It requires people from all fields and levels to unite to fight the enemy. Comrades, it is the motherland that needs you now.

At that time, your task is..."
