As noted upthread China is doing what it can to build out a green infrastructure. But it also has to rely on fossil fuels, as do all other developed economies.

Your assertion upthread that “ The Chinese atheists who control their Governemnt are very anti-environment.” is obviously nonsense, they are investing in green technologies and sustainable energy systems.

China’s per capita ghg emissions are less than half of ours. What the fuck are our pious leaders doing? Oh right, nothing.
