US and EU have reduced carbon emissions in the past decade. Meanwhile China almost doubled their emissions, and now emits more than the US and EU combined.
China now burns more coal than all the other countries of the world, combined.
Any plan ignoring China's dramatic carbon emissions growth (for example: the Paris Accords) will do nothing to stop climate change.

United states CO2 emissions is 16.5 tonnes per capita whereas India is at 1.7 tonnes per capita. Even if United States reduces its emissions by 50%, they will still be 500% more than India
