In the great scheme of things, who gives a flying f... about our emissions levels?

Compared to those countries we are a tadpole, the world will only change if these behemoths like China, India and company change and THEY WON'T, so please stop ringing the bell with comparisons huh? It's a joke and a waste of time.

Sounds like you are the one making comparisons.

Do you realise that the bulk of our emissions reductions targets depend on the actions of China and India (with bipartisan support for this principle)?

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Coal for thought.

China, Ecology, Global warming, Weather
China burns almost as much coal as the rest of the world combined, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has reported. China’s coal use is poised to continue rising, despite the country's rapidly deteriorating environment, experts predicted.

The latest EIA report revealed that China's coal consumption grew more than 9 percent in 2011, continuing its upward trend for a 12th consecutive year. Since 2000, the country has accounted for more than 80 percent of the global increase in coal use, the EIA reported. China currently accounts for 47 percent of global coal consumption, nearly totaling the rest of the world combined.

I rest my case, Red Baron

You got it backwards.

So are we. What is your point?

China hasn't posted here.

What exactly is your case? That China is a really big country? No-one is disputing that. Can you take this to some sort of rational conclusion, or is interpretation beyond you?
