That is why China exempts itself from all climate treaties, claiming developing nation status, and western countries, and certainly the so-called United Nations, refuse to criticize them.
They are so overt about it that when they dismissed President Obama, who had traveled there to discuss their runaway CO2 emissions, and told him to come back in 2030 and ask again, his team spun that as a win. China had never even mentioned a date to think about emissions before, his spokesperson cheered.
The Chinese know America is not a communist dictatorship so leadership will have changed multiple times by then. Meanwhile, they will do what they want to do, and if they continue to insist they are annexing Taiwan, the democracy that fled Communist China after losing the war on the mainland, in 2027 America will be too busy to worry about Chinese pollution.
They are staying focused on affordable energy and covertly paying environmental groups through offshore donor-advised funds - Tides Foundation is a famous example of a tool for foreign competitors - to keep America instead focused on solar panels that have barely changed conventional energy more than 0.1%.
Solar can't make a difference in anything except creating higher costs because China turns on two new coal-fired power plants per week.
About 85% of the emissions produced this century will come from countries like China, environmental expert Mark Lynas notes, but despite that $3 billion in western activists - activists who are illegal in China, as protesters learned in Tiananmen Square on this day in 1989 - protest against air conditioning. And want to keep the nuclear power got President Clinton and the Democratic party to ban for them out of existence.
Western media zoomed in on this Tiananmen Square photo to make China appear far less malevolent than they were. They cropped out what was true bravery. Anyone in the pro-science community who has been slandered, libeled and smeared by environmental groups thinks they know this feeling, but really we don't.
China has no intention of slowing down. Why would they? American progressives responded to the new administration placing tariffs on countries like Brazil, China, and France until those countries removed their tariffs on American products, some that had been in place for nearly 30 years, by defending China.
Meanwhile, China continues to build even more coal plants. When the Tiananmen Square massacres happened, American progressives were being "Useful Idiots", as Russian communists phrased it, for the USSR. Today, they are doing it for China - and ruining the climate they claim they care about.
