"Climate Leader: China"

LOL. Didn't even bother to watch the video.

There is a relatively easy solution to China's big cities and others' pollution problems and that is to coat the outside of large buildings with a moss that will filter the air naturally and plant more trees, gardens etc in the cities.

can someone supply a list of Chinese pollution stocks. my research skills failed me,

China just approved the world’s largest power company with more than 225 gigawatts of capacity

• Electricity producer China Guodian and coal company Shenhua Group to merge.
• Most energy of new entity generated from coal.
• Beijing on drive to cut waste at huge state-owned enterprises.

Oh and have less coal fired power stations.

The rulers of China don't give half a shit about pollution or what conditions the people there live in. They only care about image. That's why they reduced pollution by restricting driving before the Olympics because they did not want the rest of the world laughing at them. But once the games were over, back to business as usual. Really had to laugh when they criticized the US for pulling out of the Paris climate accord. Like they have any credibility when it comes to protecting the environment.

I like how they have a solar panel in the video thumbnail when China has the largest number of nuclear plants under construction.

 

[Humpy]

Knowing politicians I doubt the Chinese leaders live in the smog full areas but out in the leafy suburbs.

China being an environmental leader is a marketing gimmick. The government loudly proclaimed how they would not build 85 power plants and use green power. The reality is that China is building over 700 new power plants; nearly half on Chinese soil.

---------------

When China halted plans for more than 100 new coal-fired power plants this year, even as President Trump vowed to “bring back coal” in America, the contrast seemed to confirm Beijing’s new role as a leader in the fight against climate change.

But new data on the world’s biggest developers of coal-fired power plants paints a very different picture: China’s energy companies will make up nearly half of the new coal generation expected to go online in the next decade.

These Chinese corporations are building or planning to build more than 700 new coal plants at home and around the world, some in countries that today burn little or no coal, according to tallies compiled by Urgewald, an environmental group based in Berlin. Many of the plants are in China, but by capacity, roughly a fifth of these new coal power stations are in other countries.

1,600 new coal-fired power plants are planned or under construction in 62 countries.
