The Mystery of China's Glorious Green Dreams

摘要

The world's ability to limit atmospheric warming from greenhouse gases depends very much on China's will and ability to control the carbon emitted by its growing economy. Currently the country is responsible for about 27% of global carbon emissions-more than anywhere else-and it will likely drive half of the growth in the world's carbon emissions between now and 2030. And carbon-driven warming isn't China's only environmental problem. Air pollution alone kills more than 1.5 million people every year.
