China, world’s largest carbon polluter, announced at the United Nations that it intended to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 7 percent to 10 percent over the next 10 years, the first time Beijing has made such a strong commitment to halt global warming.

“Green and low carbon transition is the trend of our time.” In an apparent reference to the United States, Mr. Xi added, “Some countries are against it.”

In Ep 228, "Billionaires as Insta-Experts: How Our Media Conflates Extreme Wealth with Expertise," Citations Needed breaks down the media convention of assuming the rich are per se experts on everything from education to "the economy" to poverty in Africa when, in reality, they are Just Some Guys.

Yep. Wealth (in the US, probably elsewhere) -- even if inherited -- is seen as a demonstration that your opinions (however uninformed and stupid) are "correct". I never understood this, but I have seen this in person particularly among the conservatives... i.e. having money means that person with money is Correct even if they Don't Know What The Heck They Are Talking About. Automatic deferral to wealth.

Demonstration: New guy in group hiking/backpacking, no clue what they are doing

Conservative: "OH, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT BACKPACKING!"

Me: "Uh, no, they need to go through the training too"

Conservative: "BUT THEY HAVE ALL THE LATEST $$$$ GEAR, PATAGONIA, THE TOP OF THE LINE TENT" (etc. etc.etc.)

I saw this shared to a bike group on Facebook and the MAGA bikers came out in force to call it “bullshit”. 😂 One explained how Trump made bike infrastructure way way better! 👀
