The Guardian reports:
But the Chinese co-chair of the IPCC working group, Dr Qin Dahe, told the Financial Times that the idea China should drastically reduce its reliance on fossil fuels in time was impossible. Other developing countries are understood to have similar concerns, worried that they will be pressed to curb their emissions when rich countries have benefited from decades of untrammelled fossil fuel use.
Don’t you just love the Chinese. So pragmatic. No b…s… from these people.
Firstly, it’s their own fault for not ‘evolving’ sooner. Secondly it’s such a childish way of thinking – “They had it so why can’t I”. Won’t really matter though because in 20 odd years time anthropogenic climate change will be forgotten about.
