China and Climate Change; Some reccomended reading.

China is currently second only to the US in terms of GHG emissions, this is set to change in the next 2-3 decades. The planet can't afford one USA with 300 million people, let alone two with a combined population of 1.5 billion.

Fortunately china is a lot more than a less developed USA. Many experts believe the first economy in the world to be truely sustainable will be the one developing in China. The level of policy and technology inovation is building and with 1.2 billion minds and an absoloute imperative to concentrate them there is hope yet!
