Comments on Keith Orchison “Chinese energy is greener than ours”, 27/07/2009, http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25838638-5015664,00.html

This is an interesting article. We need to know the real and hard facts like what are described in this article to understand what is really happening in the world. Politicians may present us a picture that may or may not be true.

China is a big emitter of greenhouse gases and there is no question about that. That is because China is the world largest country in terms of population, 5 times as large as the US.

This article points out that China, a developing country, has been taking actual actions in reducing its impact on emissions.

At home here, we have been constantly hearing from some people especially politicians that we should wait to see what China decides to do on its emissions. While ,China has been doing much more than we, a rich country, have done.

So there it is, dear politicians, you have it now. What you should and need and must decide to do in terms of emissions?

Action, action and action. Don’t just find excuses, don’t delay actions any more. Start doing something now.
