CCPI

As we all know, there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. As leaders in the last category, we again find the German-led team behind the “Climate Change Performance Index” that keeps undermining meaningful progress on climate change. In their most recent report, Denmark has jumped ahead of Sweden (despite that its per capita carbon emissions are about 30% higher), and there is still absolutely no understanding of issues such as global scalability. 

Like in previous reports, the CCPI experts keep criticizing countries for investing in nuclear energy, including putting the United Arab Emirates among the world’s “worst performing countries” despite that the UAE is now bringing 5,600 MW of clean energy onto its grid thanks to the four reactors at the Barakah nuclear power plant.
