    China has already reduced emissions and is on track to eliminate non green energy sources by 2050. It’s done more (produce new green energy, make EVs, set industrial regulations) in the last five years than the totality of the US has done.

    But yeah India won’t do shit.

      I do agree with you. China smartly used emerging green technology as part of its push for an economic sphere of influence, and has largely succeeded. Although Westerners generally hate the CCP’s guts, this is one of those rare times that their interests align with humanity’s overall.

      Still, China won’t be in a hurry to completely phase out coal anytime soon, and now nobody in America can say anything about it (then again, West Virginia is still addicted to coal anyway… )
