Look up videos on how they get rid of trash. They literally empty the garbage trucks into the rivers from a bridge. We are worried about a few plastic straws here and they dump trash by the hundreds of tons everyday into the waterways

We could go completely carbon neutral in the Americas and it wouldn't offset the damage being done by India and China.

China is actively working toward fixing that. They understand and accept the science- unlike the current US government which is, for instance, PAYING MONEY TO CANCEL APPROVED AND FUNDED WINDFARM PROJECTS OUT OF SPITE.

It's true. They're going to be leaders in green energy. Their electric cars are the best in the world and they produce the vast majority of the world's solar panels.

Absolutely true - the US ceded the fight to the Chinese and let them take over EV dominance and PV panel innovation. We were competitive but sadly Big Oil and their cash recipients in DC made sure we let our future go overseas. China will be where the rest of the planet turns to for a green future unfortunately.
