    Not surprising in the least (I mean the obstruction in general; not China in particular). Getting governments that hate one another to agree on real efforts to protect the environment just won’t happen. Once things get desperate enough, I can easily see countries going to war in an attempt to “save humanity”.

      We’ve seen agreements in the past - the Kigali amendment is a great example. It’s not impossible; just difficult.

        I hope I’m wrong. I still act like this is a solvable problem, just in case. I just think that by the time climate change gets extreme enough to change key peoples minds, it will be too late.
