You know just because someone else doesn't play with you doesn't mean you should not play.

Or try.

And yes it makes a huge difference. China is not ignorant if the other world leaders change their whole economy to renewable.

On one site it's a huge market for China and it makes those countries independent. Energy rules the world.

And yes it makes a difference for me if I do my part and it didn't work out or if I did not.

Are you seriously comparing the massive economic impacts advocated by these policies to children playing? And yeah, feel free to give me a ring when China purposely weakens their own economy because they saw the West doing it - I'll buy you a beer.

Yes.

And no I believe renewable is the next economy topic.

Transforming everything is a lot of jobs/work and will make energy cheaper and countries less dependent.

OK, fair enough. Sorry for the snark, I had a rough day yesterday. Would love to see a future filled with cheap, reliable, renewable energy.

More so, we can't expect China and others to play nice if we don't, so we should lead the way.

This stems from ignorance on Chinese economy. China being a late comer to a lot of technologies means that a large portion of their research & patents are in relatively more recent fields, e.g. China has more expertise in manufacturing EVs compared to ICE cars, China is dominating the solar market when they are not as competitive in more traditional silicon industry. Not mentioning the "per capita" argument prevalent in most developing countries, in many occasions, the movement towards reducing emission is helping the economy instead of the opposite, signified by the recent surge of Chinese EVs rendering a lot of western brands obsolete there, VW among the most shocked. This applies or will apply to all the other third world countries such as India, as the mechanism behind this phenomenon is universal.
