  1.  @chobai9996  "the Western world actually has done a lot to prevent climate change" - nope, most western countries continue to underperform on their climate targets. And while China has the highest gross current emissions, both emissions per capita and its cumulative total emissions are still lower than even just America - by a large margin. It's the west that's majorly responsible for creating the climate crisis - China and India are just convenient targets to attack at present as they develop. The majority of temperature rise that's been seen so far is because of the west, and the average westerner releases more CO2 as well. Meanwhile both China and India have already invested heavily into renewables, with the former already dominating solar.

  2. ​ @chobai9996  Ad hominems huh? And an especially ironic choice of one, considering you've already admitted that you yourself are Chinese. You're not doing your case any favors by falling back on personal attacks. You also admit that China's per capita is much lower. You think dismissing that defence serves your cause? Lol no. It doesn't just punish China to dismiss it, it punishes all poor nations, and effectively all poor people, while giving the rich ones that created this mess an out. There's a reason it's recognized as a valid measure even at the highest of international levels. You think you're being anti-CCP, what you're actually being is anti-poor - letting rich Americans go despite them producing more pollution in favor of attacking poor Chinese (as well as poor elsewhere) just cos there's fewer rich people. At least be honest enough to admit that, rather than deluding yourself into thinking this is just about the CCP. Then there's the fact that you utterly ignored my mention of cumulative emissions i.e. that America has STILL added more CO2 to the atmosphere in total than China even upto today. Which means more of the rise in temperature is STILL attributable to America (let alone the west as a whole) than China. They've got far more of a mess to clean up. Once again, you think focusing only on who the top emitter at present is works against China, your pet bugbear, but it actually works against all developing nations. You're like the guy who sees someone smashed to within an inch of death by a rich dude in an SUV, but only gets upset by the poor mugger who comes along later and knocks him out to take his wallet to feed his family. As for renewables, you're free to dismiss them as much as you like based on your own opinion. The statistics on the industry are pretty clear and available for all to see. If anything, your grossly inhumane stance only reveals your own biases. I doubt you actually hate poor people, or think blame should lie only with the ones to come last on the scene of a crime. No, I think your hatred for one country has blinded you to the ramifications of the position you're advocating. Whether you'll have the maturity to realize that and change your tune remains to be seen.
