民進黨執政，減碳、氣候變遷國際績效倒數，只會找馬維拉卸責
中國國民黨今(22)日表示，根據「德國看守協會」（Germanwatch）發布的「氣候變遷績效指標」（Climate Change Performance Index 2021, CCPI 2021），台灣排名為倒數第五，其中，再生能源評比倒退，凸顯我國再生能源發展仍落後其他國家甚多；另外，2020年氣候變遷報告顯示，台灣減碳成績在全世界排名倒數第三，但民進黨不思反省、檢討，只會搬出「馬維拉」來推托卸責，此舉並無法掩飾其能源轉型政策的失能與失敗。
國民黨指出，根據經濟部的《我國燃料燃燒二氧化碳排放統計》，2016年蔡英文總統執政之後，我國CO2排放量皆高於馬英九前總統執政時期，其中，2017年排放量最高，達到26,946萬公噸，顯然民進黨所謂「非核、減煤、增氣、展綠」的能源政策，根本沒有達到「淨零排放」的低碳轉型效果。
國民黨再進一步舉台電公司的發購電量結構為例，2015年，馬前總統執政最後一年，火力發電佔比約為75.5%，但蔡英文總統執政後，火力發電佔比持續攀升，2017年時曾來到最高的82.2%，2019年仍有78.5%，皆高於馬政府時期，顯然蔡政府的能源轉型徹底失敗，也完全沒有落實減碳的目標。
國民黨強調，蔡英文總統2016年首次就職演說時曾宣示「我們也不會在防制全球暖化、氣候變遷議題上缺席」，更表示行政院將設立專責的能源和減碳辦公室。不過，蔡總統的宣示顯然只剩下口號，實際作為卻是行政院能源和減碳辦公室從一開始原則每三個月召開一次，到了去(2020)年只在年底12月30日召開一次，重重打臉了民進黨所謂「重視能源轉型的決心」。
國民黨表示，蔡政府只是嘴巴上說「積極推動能源轉型」，具體作為卻是端出「馬維拉」來推托卸責，結果卻發現，蔡政府的「減碳」成效，在國際評比上吊車尾，官方數據也不如馬政府時期。國民黨呼籲民進黨不要只會口水治國，牽拖馬政府只會更凸顯蔡政府的施政無能，應該以具體的行動與作為因應氣候變遷的嚴峻情勢，才是正途。
DPP in Office: Carbon Emissions Reduction, International Climate Change Performance Falling
DPP Can Only Try to Blame President Ma and Shirk Responsibility!
The Kuomintang (KMT) stated today (April 22nd) that according to the Climate Change Performance Index 2021 (CCPI 2021) issued by Germanwatch, Taiwan’s ranking has fallen to fifth, including a regression in Germanwatch’s evaluation of Taiwan’s renewable energy sources, exposing the fact that our nation’s development of renewable energy sources remain extremely backwards compared to those of other countries. Furthermore, in 2020, climate change reports have shown that Taiwan’s carbon emissions reduction performance worldwide ranking has also regressed to number three, yet the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) fails to neither reflect on nor review its performance. They know only how to make excuses and shirk responsibility by blaming former President Ma Ying-jeou. This tired act cannot cover up the incompetence and failure of the DPP’s energy transformation policies.
The KMT also pointed out that according to the Republic of China (ROC) Ministry of Economic Affairs’ “ROC Fuel Combustion CO2 Emissions Statistics,” after President Tsai Ing-wen took office in 2016, all measures of ROC CO2 emissions were greater emissions from the time that former President Ma Ying-jeou was in office. CO2 emissions were highest in 2017, reaching 269,460,000 tons. Evidently, the DPP’s so-called “Non-nuclear, Cut Coal, Increase Gas, Spread Green” energy policy has entirely failed to attain its low carbon transformation goal of “zero emissions.”
The KMT, pushing the issue another step forward, then raised the example of the Taiwan Power Company’s structure of issuing the sale of electric units: in 2015, the final year of former President Ma’s term in office, burning coal constituted 75.5% of electricity production, but after President Tsai Ing-wen took office, electricity production from burning coal continuously rose. Coal burning reached its zenith at 82.2% in 2017, and in 2019 it still sat at 78.5%: all higher than those of the Ma government. The Tsai administration’s energy transformation is clearly an utter failure: it didn’t even achieve its goal of carbon emissions reduction.
The KMT also emphasized that during President Tsai Ing-wen’s first inaugural speech in 2016, she vowed, “We will no longer be absent from the fight against global warming and climate change.” She went even further and stated that the Executive Yuan would establish an office specifically responsible for energy and carbon emissions reduction. However, President Tsai’s vow is clearly just a catchphrase. In reality, although the Executive Yuan’s Office of Energy and Carbon Reduction was, from its founding, supposed to convene a meeting once every three months, it only convened a meeting once in 2020 at the end of the year on December 30th. This has truly revealed the emptiness of the DPP’s so-called “importance of and determination to transform energy.”
Lastly, the KMT stated that the Tsai administration merely mouths the words “actively push for energy transformation,” and its concrete actions are actually to spew excuses and shirk responsibility by bringing out Ma Ying-jeou as a scapegoat. In the end it was discovered that the Tsai administration’s “carbon reduction” results ranked at the bottom of international evaluations and official numbers were worse than those of the Ma administration. The KMT calls upon the DPP to stop with its all talk and no action. Dragging out the Ma administration as a scapegoat only makes the Tsai administration’s incompetence even more obvious. The DPP should respond to the grim situation of climate change with concrete actions and accomplishments. This is the proper way forward.
