Another Global Warming Fact Alarmists Want Buried

Take a new report that shows greenhouse gas emissions are not an American or Western problem.

A study from Sun Yat-sen University in China found that more than half of the world's urban greenhouse gas emissions are generated in only 25 big cities, and 23 of them are located in China.

We've known for at least a decade that while agitators campaigned to force developed economies to eliminate fossil fuel use, China and India have been busy building hundreds of coal plants in an effort to spread the First World prosperity that the climate alarmists have enjoyed their entire lives.

China, which has not lived up to its emissions pledges even as the U.S. has decreased its GHG emissions, "Is also building and financing hundreds of other coal-fired power plants in countries such as Turkey, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Egypt, and Bangladesh."

A few months after the Canadian report, Yale Environment 360 noted that "Despite pledges to cut emissions," China, responsible for 28% of GHG emissions though it makes up less than 19% of the world's population, has been "On a coal spree."

Environmental zealots, more than a few of them elected and appointed officials, are constantly bullying Washington over international emissions agreements that will hurt the U.S. economy; telling Americans they have to live more primitively because they wreck the planet a little every time they consume conventional energy; and that they must make sacrifices for the health of Gaia.

There's no reason for them to denounce China because it's already laboring under the system they want to inflict on the world.
