I totally agree that China isn’t going to step up on climate. I don’t think there is another power able to drive international consensus like the US on this issue. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse is mostly a matter of perspective :)

I genuinely believe that we can change course on climate policy, but it won’t happen in one or two national elections. Electing people who care about sustainability at every level of government is necessary for big changes to happen federally and internationally. We’ve got a lot of work to do!
