"Climate change" activists can often be seen protesting in nice, comfortable venues that pose little risk (and little benefit) from their activities. It appears that the focus of the "climate change" alarmists always happens in nations which have already taken measures to reduce CO2, whether it is right or wrong.
Why don' the "climate change" activists go to China and protest there? China, or India, would seem to be the two nations at which the activists should focus their attention, yet they do not seem to show up there.
Why not focus on the main sources of carbon output in the world?
...and we forced them to pollute.....LOL...they were making cheap polluting crap long before...nothing changed
Their spike in pollution is relatively recent, also still well below ours on a per capita basis.
It is the nature of the free market to seek the cheapest method of production that will fill the market demand. The only control is our collective pocketbooks voting our conscience. So collectively, we just don’t care.
"On a daily basis, the export-related Chinese pollution contributed, at a maximum, 12–24% of sulfate concentrations over the western United States. As the United States outsourced manufacturing to China, sulfate pollution in 2006 increased in the western United States but decreased in the eastern United States, reflecting the competing effect between enhanced transport of Chinese pollution and reduced US emissions.

In a world supposedly heading towards a CO2 apocalypse, the 'per capita' argument makes as much sense as screen-doors on submarines.

A large portion of China’s pollution is actually ours. We just offshored our manufacturing(and pollution) to them.
OMFG — you absolutely win the blue ribbon for best masochist/virtue-signaler. Keep up the good work, you’re an inspiration for us all.
