Somebody needs to sort out the Chinese?

Question

China has become the worlds worst polluter, the BBC released a video showing the immense Co2 emissions that was destroying towns and cities, chocking children, killing men and women like livestock and simply symbolizing that the world needs to take action upon this.

China builds a new Power-Plant every two weeks, and they blame the west. China should just be slapped and woken up, the west saw their incredible and stupid mistake and are trying to make up for it. The UK has ordered many wind-farms be built and has lowered the price of solar panels, they are also now doing free thermal heating for the south and Ireland, but China, even with the money to harness wind choose to harness coal, and this will destroy the economy and possibly the planet without action.

Your views?

Answer 1

i saw a special about something like that on t.v. what bothered me is that this particular factory in China was producing acid clouds and dust, and it destroyed the grass that was there before the powerplant was built. It's sad that we have to live like this. Some stories don't even make the press. Everything is so expensive and everything is bad for you it seems like. I wonder why it costs so much to eat a piece of fruit than to eat a pack of sodium filled oodles and noodles

Answer 2

I can do nothing but agree with you. Chinese pollution is even reaching the west coast of the US. The Chinese just don't care.

Answer 3

If they make less fuel, they lose power. They can't afford that at the minute.

Answer 4

In China alone, up to 200+ million tons of coal goes up in flames each year-which may be equivalent to America’s total carbon-dioxide emissions from gasoline.  India’s mine fires waste up to 10 million tons of coal annually.  The pollution has left much of the land in both countries uninhabitable. The high level of toxins in the air, also metallic & untreated chemical wastes dumped directly into the oceans is expected to only increase as there are no deterrents for these ‘developing’ nations all of which is compounding the ‘Global Warming’ problem..  The World need to include so-called Undeveloped Countries especially China & India to impact the global crisis.  Clean burning coal & dousing these coal fires!  No exceptions, pay reparations for irresponsible rampant pollution!  Also, American and other developed countries need to become more isolationist & drastically reduce outsourcing & importing from China!

Answer 5

I agree it's a worry, but the Chinese products are bought and sold all over the world, so there is the power for people in other countries to stop buying their stuff.

Answer 6

You must be a neo-coon youre complaining that China is causing soo much polution and global impact but you fail to look in the mirror. You need to look at yourself first and by that I mean the US we have about 1/5th of China's population and we still use alot more energy per person then them.

US companies outsource jobs and manufacturing to China and the majority of the products we buy at stores like Wal Mart are made in China. You expect the Chinese to run all those factories on wind and solar energy you gotta be more realistic. You think Wal Mart and other major US corporations want China too become more eco freindly. The US economy is basically tied into the Chinese economy wether we like it or not so "slapping" China would be the equivalent of the US "kicking" itself in the tenders. Stay off the fox news and do some research.
