So we could all go vegan, skip off our normal diets, a huge change to the world OR china could stop running their very dirty coal plants.

Please stop making everything _my_ problem when other countries do not give a rats ass.

Where's that American aim of being #1 ("exceptional") in ways like "ethically good" or "world leader taking the world into a better future"? Why is it now "well, others are doing bad things, we may as well pollute the shit of the planet too"?

Why is the burden on me? That's never been explained by all the climate religionists out there. When the west does something it's bad. When everyone else does it, they get a pass?

We already did the industrial revolution. We already went through the long process. They have free wins - they don't need to design new processes or methods - they have plenty of money.

They have the wrong priorities.

Instead we can sit here and pat ourselves on the back for not using plastic straws, because save the turtles or some absolute crock, while 4 or 5 countries in asia produce almost ALL of the plastic trash in the oceans.

For how much we spend, we can easily afford (aka minimal change to our lifestyle) to make electricity carbon-free in five years of we wanted to. We could charge trucking their true cost of road destruction and it would save us money and reduce CO2. We could allow dense housing neighborhoods (not force, just allow!)

There are many things we could which even save money, make people some happier, and help the climate... but we don't.

The per-person consumption of electricity and oil - along with the CO2 emissions due to our lifestyle in the US is higher than just about every country in the world. WE are the ones that need to cut back.

It's due to many reasons, and Americans are cutting back. Our CO2 emissions have steadily been dropping for decades. the US and Europe have been solving environmental problems. Since the US has started to lower global CO2 emissions have more than doubled. That's mostly due to Asia. Their per capita emissions continue to rise and rise and rise, that's even with their booms in population.

Fades?

Although China still consumes 28% of the world’s meat, including half of all pork, and boasts a meat market valued at $86bn (£62bn)

That's the second sentence in the second paragraph of the article you linked.

All coal plants produce the same amount of CO2, the dirtyness is inly related to micro-particles.

The richest countries are the reason for climate change. We've lived way past what is sustainable for a hundred years, and now you want to blame it on somebody else?

Sure, everything but taking personal responsibility...

This isn't correct.

Different types of coal can result in dramatic difference in CO2 production per kWh hour generated.
