Global Warming - Pete DuPont writes
This seems like a story that should be headlined everywhere...
This paragraph is from Pete DuPont's Wall Street Journal opinion column:
"China is vastly expanding its factories and power plants--it is building another coal-fired power plant every seven to 10 days--and so opposed emission targets that would bind it. As the New York Times reported a year ago, China now 'uses more coal than the United States, the European Union and Japan combined,' and so 'the increase in global warming gases from China's coal use will probably exceed that for all industrialized countries combined over the next 25 years.' China is already home to 20 of the world's 30 most polluted cities, but Su Wei, China's top climate expert in Bali, said the burden of reducing global warming pollution is one that belongs to the wealthy, not China.'"
