China, India Become Climate Leaders as West Falters

[tomato]

Less than two years after world leaders signed off on a historic United Nations climate treaty in Paris in late 2015, and following three years of record-setting heat worldwide, climate policies are advancing in developing countries but stalling or regressing in richer ones.

In the Western hemisphere, where centuries of polluting fossil fuel use have created comfortable lifestyles, the fight against warming has faltered largely due to the rise of far-right political groups and nationalist movements. As numerous rich countries have foundered, India and China have emerged as global leaders in tackling global warming

I don't know about India but China has MASSIVE pollution problem. So much so that one guy as an experiment took bottle of air (yes you read that right) from near a lake in Alberta, Canada and sold them in China. The bottles were so hit that now it is a multi-billion company.

The article mentions that the bottles from the company (Vitality Air) are now available in Delhi, India. However, only the burger class will buy it lmao..
