When I see all these environmentalists & climate change activists go to China and India and rip them a new one, they will get my respect and support.
But they don't, they pick on the "West" and not address the real causes of climate change. And America is a prime target. Show some consistency activists. Somehow I don't think China nor India give a shark about what you think. Thumberg won't go near those 2 countries.

Well either the US is the world leader or it isn’t. Its founding principles have been freedom and democracy.
If ethical companies exist you can vote with your dollars. This then forces changes in behaviour in companies. Equally if the US and Europe regulate to a standard it encourages others to do it because it costs to change their production line.
The other snap is China can change quickly, though sometimes central commands don’t work in the provinces. For example when they took lead out of petrol, bang, it was gone.
China has many climate change issues, but for example produces an overwhelming majority of the world’s solar energy systems. And despite the well reported problems they’ve created a massive high speed rail network. Long story short, there’s not a lot of reporting on what’s going on in these huge countries.
And once China has decided something is forbidden, consequences are dire. Executives in the melamine scandal faced the death penalty.
