Climate Change Facts: Comparing China with the West
The Western media’s focus on China as “the world’s worst polluter” is devious and dishonest. The purpose of this article is to present the facts.

Climate Change Facts: Comparing China & the West
Published 2021/05/29 The Western media’s focus on China as “the world’s worst polluter” is devious and dishonest. The purpose of this article is to present the facts. Below China Environment News compares the West as a geopolitical bloc and compares it with China in respect to climate change. When this is done, the basis of a very different narrative emerges. China is of course the world’s most populous nation (although India is […]
