In recent days, a significant effort to uphold national defense has taken place at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland. Some developing nations are determined not to let climate negotiations turn into a chaotic game where no one wins. They are striving to ensure that discussions remain focused on real solutions rather than empty promises.
The chief negotiator of the UN Climate Change Conference in Warsaw on the 20th once again called on developed countries to honor their financial commitments and make this conference a meaningful one—focused on implementation rather than just talk.
After years of intense negotiations, developed countries finally pledged to provide actual funding to help developing nations address climate change. This was one of the few major achievements in climate talks, but now, some developed nations seem ready to abandon it.
At the 2010 Cancun Climate Conference, a Green Climate Fund was established to support vulnerable countries affected by climate change. However, years later, the fund remains largely symbolic, with no real financial support yet delivered. The so-called "quick start" funds have still not materialized, leaving many developing nations frustrated.
What has further angered poorer countries is that some wealthy nations are openly breaking their previous commitments. Australia, for example, refused to meet its funding obligations, arguing that many other countries have more money than itself. This excuse has drawn strong criticism from the global community.
Xie Zhenhua, head of China’s delegation, emphasized during a high-level meeting at the Warsaw Climate Conference that funding is crucial for the success of the talks. Without concrete financial support, the multilateral system risks losing credibility and trust.
Many observers believe that climate negotiations are increasingly turning into political battles—talks without action. In addition to funding issues, developed countries are also failing to meet their ambitious emission reduction targets.
Japan recently announced revised emissions reduction goals in Warsaw, claiming an increase of over 3% compared to 1990 levels. While the Fukushima nuclear disaster may be understood, most people find it hard to accept that the world’s third-largest economy is not doing enough. Xie Zhenhua criticized Japan’s stance as a “cold splash†for climate negotiations, while some NGO representatives described the move as a “slap in the face.â€
More concerning for developing nations is the risk that existing commitments might be ignored or lost. Even if a new global climate agreement is reached in the future, who can guarantee it won’t end up as another unfulfilled promise?
Developed countries’ refusal to fulfill their commitments is seen by many as both a betrayal of trust and a failure of climate justice. Humanity is facing increasingly severe climate disasters, with hundreds of millions of people struggling for survival. Developed countries are responsible for 70% of global carbon emissions, yet they account for only 30% of current emission reduction pledges.
At the Warsaw conference, developing nations repeatedly called for developed countries to compensate them for climate-related losses. But when it comes to morality versus politics, the balance clearly leans toward politics. Even the voices of those affected by typhoons and hunger strikes—some of which involved over 4,000 people—have failed to change the reality of climate injustice.
During a late-night consultation, some delegates became visibly angry, frustrated by the lack of progress.
A week ago, representatives from over 190 countries gathered in Warsaw hoping it would be a conference of accountability and hope. Now, as the event draws to a close, many fear it will end in disappointment.
Low Porosity Refractory Brick
Low porosity clay bricks are made of low aluminum mullite as the main raw material, formed by high pressure molding and high temperature sintering. The main mineral composition is mullite phase, the product has excellent high temperature physical properties and chemical erosion resistance.
Low porosity clay brick stability is good, the degree of erosion does not occur sudden change, than ordinary clay brick life increased by 2 to 3 times. Thermal conductivity, specific heat and solubility, respectively, than ordinary clay bricks 2 times higher than 10% and 40%, heat storage capacity than ordinary clay bricks 50% to 60% higher than the thermal efficiency of the kiln can be improved.
Low porosity clay bricks are characterized by:
1. Low porosity, 13 to 15%;
2. Load softening temperature is high for about 1472 ℃;
3. High compressive strength at room temperature, generally about 100MPa;
4. Good volume stability at high temperature and good abrasion resistance;
5. good resistance to infiltration and erosion.
Low porosity clay brick as a good clay refractory brick products, so often used in chemical erosion, temperature fluctuations in the environment, such as steel, glass, chemical industry. The effect is quite obvious in the use of glass hot room and the use of iron water tank.
