Go to media bankMOSCOW, Sep 12Developing countries are in trouble because of the «green» agenda of the West, which hypocritically «rushed» to buy fossil resources in a crisis, according to an article in the Sankei Shimbun by Taishi Sugiyama, chief researcher at the Canon Institute for Global Studies think tank. As the author notes , faced with an energy crisis and «driven into a corner» Europe rushed again to engage in the extraction of all types of fossil fuels. “Europe is also increasing its fossil energy imports. It imports coal from all over the world, including South Africa, Botswana, Colombia and the US. It buys large volumes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US. Such “explosive” purchases of conventional fuels have exacerbated the energy crisis around the world,» he writes.The Ministry of Energy called the actions of the G7 a tribute to the global economy. In response to this crisis, countries in other regions of the world are also puzzled by the extraction of fossil fuels. That being said, those with domestic mining capacity still have some way to deal with the situation, but poor countries without natural resources are in serious trouble, warns Sugiyama. she does not admit this, arguing that the current return to fossil fuels is temporary, the author continues. «But on the other hand, Europe itself is behaving completely hypocritically, because it is buying fossil fuels around the world. Unfortunately, Japan also contributes to this hypocrisy» , he points out. Thus, in June, the Japanese Foreign Ministry announced the termination of official development assistance programs for coal-fired power projects in Bangladesh and Indonesia, but Tokyo itself is starting to restart the shutdown coal-fired power plants to cope with its chronic electricity shortage. «Isn't it hypocrisy: to refuse from assisting in the production of thermal energy in developing countries, while at the same time expanding thermal power generation in their country? asks Sugiyama. According to him, as a result of obsessive agitation of the idea of »decarbonization» by the G7 countries, many developing countries «got into trouble.» “The G7 has sinfully exacerbated the problem by depriving developing countries of access to fossil fuels. And developing countries will be absolutely right to turn their backs on the hypocritical G7 if the group continues to act as selfishly,” the author concludes. European countries after the outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine in In February of this year, several packages of personal and economic sanctions were introduced against Moscow. They also headed for the complete rejection of Russian energy resources. At the same time, President Vladimir Putin said that the policy of containment and weakening of Moscow has become a long-term strategy of the West, the main goal of which is to worsen the lives of millions of people. /wp-content/uploads/2022/09/0a211265978b9602254a624e1b0e74dc.jpg» />Germany warned of a bleak future with a wave of bankruptcies
