BEIJING : China's environment ministry has slammed firms for falsifying carbon data, part of the country's efforts to improve data quality as it prepares to expand its national emissions trading scheme into more industrial sectors.
"Accurate and reliable data is the lifeline for the effective and standardized operation of the carbon emissions trading market," the MEE said in a statement on Monday. Four data verification firms - Zhongchuang Nengtou Co, SinoCarbon Innovation & Investment Co, Qingdao Xinuo Renewable Co and Liaoning Dongmei Testing and Analysis Research Institute - were charged by the ministry with"tampering with and forging test reports","making false coal samples", and"writing distorted and inaccurate conclusions".
Don't slam. Just take ALL their money, and distribute it to the poor. End of Discussion...
Perhaps another case of “check on oneself” that led to this? Where is the accountability. Somebody would have found out about this and now China has to be seen as reprimanding firms to be on moral high ground. Never trusted data from China. Top of the world!
