That does not mean nor is proof the other side is righteous, and honest. I could very well be a Chinese Ministry of State Security Agent (if that is what its called like in the movies). But it still does not mean the other side is not just as dishonest.

China is building more than half of the world's new coal power plants

LOL I simply stated reports of China going green or trying to go green. Then you say those sources are liberal sources not worth a dam. Googling for more sources does not solve that dilemma of which side to believe.

Plus here is another possibly scenario. What if they are building new coal plants, to replace the old ones after they are torn down. So basically these new ones are upgrades with better tech, less emissions, and more efficiency. Perhaps they are doing that too overseas, as I am reading from your article, they are building new ones around the world.

Poor countries should be thankful we let them use the technology we invented. If they are ungrateful and we need to cut emissions, just take it away from them

So did Kerry to an extent but no one seems to be reporting on that.....

He wants to trade carbon credits to pay for other countries to go green.

Easy to say when the west already has a head start. What do you think the west's stance would be if they were playing catchup?

On a per capita basis, we are far worse with our SFH in the suburbs that require us to drive everywhere in our SUVs with just one occupant driving in congested traffic getting MPG in the teens.

Wow, Brazil and Mexico are pretty good per capita emissions. And they population are quite high. I guess Mexico has less land to cover. But Brazil is a large country too. Is it because they are bio fuel based? Its what I heard about Brazil.
