They are the world's worst polluter, followed by India and Russia.

If we can turn it around (which is barely possible at this point) all the major polluters need to immediately slash greenhouse gas emissions.

Not only is that highly unlikely, but China and India are both in the business of building coal fired power plants, last I heard they have 650 plants planned in countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, who are in the top ten polluting countries already.

Eta I read your first post and you make a really good point about how issues are framed.
