There's no difference between you and trump. You're both American, and you both don't care about the impact that the US has on others.

Coal emissions, and coal as a proportion of total power generation is going down, not up, because these newly commissioned coal plants are replacements for older, dirtier plants that no longer meet China's pollution regulations.

China is adding an absolutely ludicrous amount of green energy to their grid per year.

Chinese coal power generation plateaued about 3 years ago. Existing plants were also heavily refitted to reduce particulate pollution.

Sometimes it almost seems like western liberals are so acclimatised to stagnation that they can't grasp the concept of change.
