Needless to say, plenty of problems in China. But they're on the right track w/ high speed rail and solar.

Yes, they are - but with all that coal, a few steps backwards and in the wrong direction.

Agreed. Plenty of problems w/ China. But we have to work collectively to phaseout the use of fossil fuels. It's either global cooperation or extinction.
Maybe, just maybe the fires in Los Angeles -- because it's affected the celebrity class and the super-rich (Paris Hilton, a member of the super-rich and, sadly, owns a private jet so her concern around climate breakdown doesn't really exist but, sadly, lost her home in the LA fires) will finally be the spark to transition off fossil fuels.
The way to do it: nationalize the fossil fuel industry and then gradually phase them out. Plus we need to produce for need and not profit.
This pathological profit-seeking motive is driving us to environmental destruction. And, too, it's not fair on other species. I mean, if we wanna commit suicide. Fine. But we should not drag down everything else w/ us. I mean, elephants, hawks, tigers etc. etc. are not producing this environmental nightmare. We are.

Building six times MORE coal factories than any other nation is NOT "collectively phasing out".....

Looks like references to climate change in research supported by the US government are being forbidden. This is truly Orwellian stuff.
