    Yay China. Say… isn’t this the same country that turns out 68% of the world’s air pollution?

    What have they done about that?

        Also the country that dominates green energy manufacturing… Which is what everyone else is using to reduce their emissions.

      In terms of particulates? China’s really cleaned that up in recent years.

      But, well, China doesn’t have massive piles of natural gas it can burn instead of coal. Coal is notoriously dirty.

      They’ve done a lot about that, like becoming the global leader in pretty much every renewable sector as well as nuclear. Also, worth mentioning that smooth brained liberals have all their stuff produced in China. It’s absolute idiocy to bleat about pollution without considering where consumption is happening. Per capita energy usage in China is far lower than in the west.

          The demand comes from people consuming the goods. I’m sorry you lack intellectual capacity to wrap your head around this concept.

              That’s a nice straw man there buddy. I never said anything of the sort. It’s the capitalist system in the west that’s responsible for creating western lifestyle and the consumption that goes along with it. Nowhere did I say that I expected this system to work either. Keep trying there.
