The Chinese government recently released major policy document on climate change, it stated that global warming has already had massive adverse effects on China, and on climate change it has warned of the difficulty of reducing the country's reliance on coal and the potential devastation that this could cause. The report stated, "Extreme climate phenomena, such as high temperatures, heavy precipitation and severe droughts have increased in frequency and intensity". Xie Zhenhua, a deputy chief of he National Development and Reform Commission, said China's emissions have caught up with the United States and will not fall soon. The paper also warns that China's coal-dominated energy mix can not be quickly changed making control of greenhouse gasses "rather difficult".
No offense to China, but if their government can confirm that they are suffering from the effects of global warming and states but not directly that greenhouse gases from human actions are causing it why can't they US feel the same way.But it does make me mad that they aren't offering any solutions to fix the problem they are just saying yep we got a problem but idk where to start so I'm not worrying about it... I'm glad to know that we only have 2 more months of this unrealistic view of global warming in the US, and soon enough we can get some real CHANGE.
