"From now on it is China and not the US who will be the number one threat to the planet."

"China's growth alone will ensure that world temperatures rise by up to 6 degrees by 2100. Put another way, China is burning so much dirty coal, so inefficiently, that by 2030 its carbon dioxide emissions per head will equal Europe's - and it will have emitted more into the atmosphere in 25 years than Europe and America have done in the past 100 years."

India will soon pass us as well.

Ah, its good to be third.

keeps up with business as usual.

The position of China and India is that "the West just wants to hold back our development--and look, they're not doing anything substantive."

At the moment, the West is in the position of a member of a gang of vandals who refuses to stop smashing furniture because the rest of the gang is smashing more furniture.
