Not only are they the worst polluter in the world, their increase is single handedly negating all the climate initiatives for the rest of the world, actually more than negating it.

In addition, their belt and road initiative, the number one item of capital spending in all these 3rd world countries.....coal fired power plants.

Its almost as funny as Kerry and DiCaprio flying around the world in private jets to tell us to stop polluting.

Because either it isn't OR they don't give a shite.

Requires a sacrifice, or inconvenience. The time will come

If climate change is real why do the ones making millions off of it keep buying mansions worth millions of dollars right on the coast?

This is the answer. They just want everyone to think they give a sh*t so they can feel better about themselves. Their materialistic narcissism has made them empty and hollow, so they vacillate between flaunting their wealth and telling others to do without. They are hypocrites, as bad as any thieving, philandering televangelist

Oh, it's real. And they're very, very serious about it.

Because the Chinese have bought enough members on the UNFCCC (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change – which runs the COP climate conferences) required to give them a developing country status, and they have bought enough politicians around the world to deliver their products.

Also consider that goods must be transported from China to America, making an even bigger carbon footprint.

Why don’t the same ESG guidelines apply when making purchases from China? Shut down domestic businesses because they don’t worship at the altar of Diversity and Inclusion but turn a blind eye to China.

Because it's a grift to separate western nations from their money.

If the world was truly concerned about climate change, they would've invaded and overthrown the Chinese government 20 years ago. China and India are responsible for 70% of the world's pollution.

People want to buy cheap shite. When it soon breaks they just throw it away and buy another one. Nobody has anything repaired nowadays.

CC is just a way to milk money from people. The people pushing for it dont care what happens in China, India or Africa.

If the did care those countries would not be excluded from CC regulations\requirements\treaties\accords.

It is nothing but a means to extract money from wealthy countries.

The better solution would be to reduce pollution and waste being dumped into rivers and oceans but the main places this is happening (China, India or Africa) have no money so nobody yells and screams about it.

C’mon man. Just need a few more of your tax dollars and the permission to use the social credit score. It’s bondage, I mean science.

Watch what they do, not what they say. Follow the money.
Bill Gates says he uses Bio Fuel in his Private Jet, when asked about super rich folks all flying private planes.
Does Bio Fuel come from plants.
Do plants remove Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and give us oxygen.

This has got to be the stupidest post I have ever read. You think stopping China's coal fire plants will help with Global... I mean climate change. lol It is a well known scientific fact that they best way to fight climate change is to get on a jet and fly to wherever the latest climate change protest is. Virtue signalling is where it is at.

If the world will melt in a decade, and 24 of the 25 top CO2 polluting cities are in China, why aren’t we striking their coal plants and rolling tanks into Beijing?
