1. Of course climate changes but it's changing rapidly and it is extremely fragile in supporting human life. Point 1: fucktarded
2. "Decent" evidence that it's caused by man? What a dumbass. Point 2: fucktarded
3. Using one summer of fewer tornadoes to prove climate change isn't a crisis is..........fucktarded. It's not a yearly thing, it's an overall trend and each decade has been hotter than the previous (that's right you fucktards who think temps haven't changed).
4. Actually China is doing a much better job of addressing global warming and creating energy efficiency standards than the US. Hard to believe, but true: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-13/top-global-emitter-china-best-on-climate-change-figueres-says.html
Point 4: fucktarded
Final judgement on article: fucktarded
China is doing a better job than the US
Fuck
China is fucking up their air, we cleaned ours.
But they are FAR more serious
What a moron
How about that Trina Solar?
Meanwhile we continue to increase coal production.

I know I'd prefer to not have to wear a surgical mask to go outside.
Thanks for playing!
Yes the UN. Always the reliable voice of reason.
Is this what you're basing the UN comment on?
A senior United Nations official said he is confident that China's air pollution problems will be alleviated as the country embarks on a transition toward a greener economy.
"Looking at China's efforts to address pollution in light of its environmental policy of the last 10 years, I must say I could imagine that it is possible," Achim Steiner, UN under-secretary-general, told China Daily.

So yea, they're talking about it, that's what politicians are best at. Solar energy is nowhere near prolific or efficient enough to support an economy the size of China. I agree that a solution needs to be found, but a lot of these projects are just to make people feel better about themselves, they don't actually accomplish goals.
"China currently generates nearly four-fifths of its electricity from coal-fired power stations.[23] It is progressing with the construction of 562 new coal-fired plants over the next few years.[37] In 2007, John Ashton, of the UK Foreign Office, informed the BBC that China was building about two power stations every week.
About 79% of China's electricity was produced with coal between 2004 and 2010. Coal electricity increased from 1,713 TWh in 2004 to 3,273 TWh in 2010."
"Approximately 7% of China's energy was from renewable sources in 2006, a figure targeted to rise to 10% by 2010 and to 16% by 2020." So yes, they are getting better, but here are only so many rivers where they can build Hydroelectric dams, a renewable resource that can actually produce significant amounts of power. It's nice that they're starting to think about it, but make no mistake, they still produce a ton of pollution, and will continue to produce that for the foreseeable future.
Fuck at least they've started to take steps.
Ummm.... No. In fact I believe it was you that posted an article that showed that they spewed about 25% more into the atmosphere than we did.
And please don't go all per capita on us.
China has really stepped up their efforts in regards to human rights and equality.
Unlike America, They truly give a shit about their people and are at least making an effort.
