Yes, they are. And they have made HUGE concessions and improved significantly in their impact on pollution over the past decade. The USA was on its way to doing our part, until fairly recently, when most efforts were stripped of funding, and our natural parks and wildlife lost huge portions of real estate for the purpose of development.
Lots of people will be finding all kinds of wild critters in their front yards, if this continues. Those critters have to live SOMEWHERE and if you take away their homes, they'll just start parking in yours.
This is the only planet we are able to occupy right now. We lack the technology to occupy any other. It's in our best interest to take care of it. Don't worry so much about China - which has made great strides in improvement. Worry about yourself, your neighbors, your city, your state, and your country. What are YOU doing to reduce our impact on pollution and the changing climate?
