the fact of the matter east china is the world biggest polluter and will carry on being the world biggest polluter for some time to come. and really the successive or failure of the world's efforts all depends on whether or not china steps up to the mark and really start to bring down . it's a massive, massive carbon emissions at a pace in scale that is commensurate with the science. and if they don't be under no illusion, it's not going to be britain, it's not even going to be the united states as stuff as most it sent me the, the poorest countries of the world that will be hit by china's continuing to burn coal. it will be the poorest countries of the world he'll be hit most by the natural disasters by the rising sea levels. if china continues to fuel their economy using coal and allowing those missions to go into the atmosphere, that in china obviously has a target of 20 percent to 0 emissions by 20. 60, i don't know where the think that target is a good idea, but you can see why. well, in the step in the right direction, it's obviously nothing compared to net 0, which the u. k. and mo
