Whether it is or isn't is not the point. A national energy policy has to work for its people first. If it's not working it needs to be changed.

And I guess the two countries (combined) that have almost 3B people don't believe in climate change either? Because if they did...

I agree it has to put the people first, just like China is doing. And if you want to get on the climate change soapbox, it's too late. The US produces more global warming emissions per capita than any other country, and China's not going to catch up.
