>China and india take climate change more seriously China is adding millions of new drivers to the roads, in fossil-fuel powered vehicles with fossil fuel (and tree) derived tires, annually. What about the fact that China is actively constructing hundreds of coal power plants? Or the fact their middle-class is rapidly growing which will mean more energy demands (which will mean more fossil fuel consumption) and more consumer goods (more plastics, from fossil fuels)? >Since the early 2000s, China's middle class has been among the fastest growing in the world, swelling from 29 million in 1999 (2 percent of population) to roughly 531 million in 2013 (39 percent of population). https://chinapower.csis.org/china-middle-class/ https://chinapower.csis.org/china-middle-class/ China has hundreds of millions of people that will, presumably, continue to be added to their middle class resulting in more cars, more electricity, more gadgets, more plastics, etc. Unless China says "no, only the people that have stuff now can have stuff" they're going to consume more fossil fuels, construct more things with concrete, etc.
