Industrially? China pollutes less than the US per capita? Well, the US doesn't have 900 million peasants to dilute our numbers. Moreover, at 3:1, China is still a greater gross polluter, if you take the reporting from China at face value. From other data collected in China where there is 1. Profit 2. Political repercussion - the outputs always seem to match up with the government prescribed allowable limits.... Those arguments are assuming the carbon tax will work as it is on paper. I am assured by ever other treaty that China and other 3rd world countries will be granted exemption. China is not even the point. It's the whole "Third World" status protectionism racket. The entire program will not work unless the entire world plays by the same rules and adheres to the same standards. This will not happen

There have been 26 Climate conferences, and USA has broken it's promices every single time. You quit the paris accord, while China is on track to meet its climate change goals nine years early. Get your head out of your rear, and stop complaining about farmers in 3rd world countries who 'will be granted exemption' so they can go from having 1 farting cow to 2 farting cows and actually afford a meal every day - they still produce less pollution in their lifetime than you do in a year. I am sorry for being rude, but you are a total hypocrite, and untill you sort out your shit, no other country is interested in what you have to say.

  Our 'shit' includes maintaining order in international commerce. No on else is doing that other than our little helpers in the UN and we fund most of their part. I'm not complaining about farmers. You have based your entire position on assumptions that not everyone in the world agrees with. Had you thought about that? Have you thought that there are significant reasons why some countries would gladly accept 'climate change'?? Your premise is that everyone is going to do this reduction in output and gladly yoke themselves with an individual accounting for their global expenditure. How utterly foolish. The climate accords you so poignantly mentioned are attended by private jet riding elites that have NO intention of reducing their quality of life. When you choose to step into the light of reality, I'll gladly meet you
